Title: The science is new, but not the conclusions
Review: Gottman's research integrity is impeccable and his data and conclusions deserve attention. One thing that irks me however is his disdain for his predecessors. The fact that many in the marriage field reached the same exact conclusions intuitively that Gottman verified empirically tells me that the intuitive method is not so bad in this arena. More than he admits, he is standing on the shoulders of others. That said, his warmth and humor is evident, and impartiality to any type of agenda is evident. In our present cultural environment, he is bringing an apparatus of credibility to the marriage and family field
