Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages.          

Having a baby is a joyous experience, but even the best relationships are strained during the transition from duo to trio.

This therapy has two goals: changing the marital friendship and teaching couples to regulate conflict.
