Level 3 Training (original) (raw)

Case Discussion in Level 3 Training: Practicum

Participants are asked to bring a short (approximately ten-minute) video segment to the Level 3 training of couples experiencing difficulties and challenges. The video can be provided on a USB drive, external hard drive, or uploaded in advance to a secure, commonly used format (e.g., MP4, MOV, or WMV) via a password-protected link. The therapist’s work with the couple will not be critiqued. In fact, the video does not even need to show the therapist—just seeing the couple is sufficient.

The purpose is to use these couples to illustrate how the Gottman Method can be applied to tough cases. The trainer(s) will describe how they would treat these couples, and then participants from the audience will volunteer to role-play the couples. The trainer(s) will demonstrate a variety of interventions, and participants will then have the opportunity to practice these interventions in supportive small group settings, role-playing the couples shown in the videos.

Bringing a video segment is not required, but it will help make the training more meaningful for everyone. If you cannot bring a video, provide a brief written description of a challenging Level 3 Training: Practicum.

We are unable to support outdated or non-standard video formats (e.g., Mini DVDs, “High-8,” “Super-8,” or international formats that cannot be converted). To ensure compatibility, please provide videos in a standard digital format such as MP4, MOV, or WMV.

Level 3 Training: Practicum and the Certification Track are separate courses. If you have any questions, please reach out to training@gottman.com.
