I have completed many training courses in the USA and the UK. This one was certainly of a high methodological level and clarity of exposition. The subject matter is very complex, the lecturer took me by the hand through the stages of couples therapy but above all made me aware that many couples in crisis, if well guided, can still go a long way together.

It was a very formative experience to have been able to delve into the Gottman method, which I have known for years and use on several occasions in couples therapy, or with groups of couples.
