THE SCIENCE OF TRUST: EMOTIONAL ATTUNEMENT FOR COUPLES

THE SCIENCE OF TRUST: EMOTIONAL ATTUNEMENT FOR COUPLES

Dr. John Gottman presents a new approach to understanding and working with couples: as he educates the reader on a fundamental social skill called “emotional attunement”. Dr. Gottman teaches couples to “cultivate attunement through awareness, tolerance, understanding, non-defensive listening, and empathy. These qualities, he argues, inspire confidence in couples, and the sense that despite the inevitable struggles, the relationship is enduring and resilient.” 

This book is a crucial follow-up to his 1999 The Marriage Clinic and is a great tool for not only couples but therapists and counselors.
