Are other writers/authors using Dr. Gottman’s research to come up with their own conclusions or programs?
Dr. John Gottman’s 35 years of research and experience are widely cited in books, papers and online outlets – some academic or scholarly in nature and others more consumer-focused. In 2007, best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell included observations on Dr. Gottman’s early work in his book, Blink. More recently, two journalists released books on marriage that leverage Dr. Gottman’s work. Tara Parker-Pope’s For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage cites Dr. Gottman’s findings. Laurie Abraham’s The Husband and Wives Club raises some questions about Dr. Gottman’s research, many of which are addressed here.
