Description
Description:
The Gottmans will review research that shows that when the first baby arrives, up to 67% of couples go through a tragic deterioration in the quality of their relationship, which usually begins the cascade toward divorce. Their research outlines the consistent phenomena in this transition, and how the minority of marriages do manage to succeed in avoiding this tragedy. The Gottmans will describe a new approach to the problem and present the results of randomized clinical trial preventative intervention with one-year follow-up data on that intervention.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the replicated fundamental phenomena of the transition to parenthood.
- To describe a clinical intervention for couples undergoing a transition to parenthood.
