We ship the printed manual to you so you don’t have to print out hundreds of pages on your own.
TOOLKIT
The components in the box set are taught in our Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 Training. If you’re using the Gottman Method in your private practice, then you’ll want a Clinician’s Toolkit handy. Your clients will love using the colorful card decks, handouts, and booklets in session.
When couples enter the therapy office, they sting with pain and despair. They look to you, the clinician, to referee chronic conflicts, fix their partners, and rebuild burned bridges.

Join the worldwide network of more than 50,000 mental health professionals who have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
