Named after Dr. John Gottman, whose surname is of German origin. His research methodology, beginning in the 1970s, revolutionized understanding of relationship science through detailed observation and statistical analysis of couple interactions.
What's remarkable about Gottman's research is that he can predict divorce with 94% accuracy just by watching couples argue for a few minutes - it's not about what they fight about, but how they fight. His work revealed that successful relationships aren't conflict-free; they're characterized by how partners repair emotional disconnections.
