Level 3 Gottman Clinical Training : practicum training
Designed by Drs. John & Julie Gottman
Presented by Dr. Nancy D. Young
Certified Gottman Therapist, Trainer and Couple's Workshop Leader
There is no better way to learn how to apply the Gottman Method than this workshop.
Through videotaped cases of real couples, hands-on role plays, demonstrations of assessments and interventions, and nuanced discussion of technique, the Level 3 Practicum significantly expands your understanding of when and how to use Gottman Method approaches.
In a small-group setting, you will have the opportunity to practice and refine your use of Gottman Method therapy and receive personalized guidance in developing a roadmap for clinical decisions.
Level 3 Practicum content represents the true resistances and co-morbidities we face as therapists and how we can transform them into effective healing methods for the couple.
The workshop is structured to help create a safe and secure environment so participants can learn and practice while feeling free of criticism and negative judgment.
In this four-day workshop, packed with tools and information, you’ll learn to:
Effectively use the Oral History Interview during a couple’s assessment and understand its implications
Clearly explain to a couple their strengths and challenges in terms of the “Sound Relationship House”
Help partners identify their own “Four Horsemen” and understand the antidotes
Select and utilize appropriate tools to help a couple deepen their “Friendship System”
Clarify a couple’s conflicts in terms of solvable, perpetual, and grid-locked problems
Use the “Dreams Within Conflict” technique to help a couple feel hopeful and to achieve break-through with their perpetual conflict
Successfully intervene when one or both partners are flooding
Help a couple reach solutions using the Compromise Ovals intervention
Sensitively intervene when co-morbidities are present

Video Participation:
Case Discussion in Certification Practicum
Participants are invited to bring case studies or 10-minute videos (uploaded to Box.com account)—just need to show the couple. The therapist is not critiqued. These are for the group to consult on and role play. The purpose will be to use these couples to illustrate how the Gottman Method can be applied to these tough cases. Dr. Young will describe how they would treat these couples and then participants from the audience will volunteer to role play these couples with Dr. Young demonstrating using a variety of interventions with these couples. Participants will then have the opportunity to practice using these interventions in a supportive small group setting with other participants’ role playing the couples from the videos.
Bringing a video tape isn’t required, but it will help make the training more meaningful for everyone. If you cannot bring a taped segment, it would help to bring a brief written description of a challenging couple for the same purpose. This is for Case Discussion within the context of Certification Practicum ONLY and is not related to the videotaped interventions submitted for final Certification Review.
