By John M. Gottman & Julie Schwartz Gottman

Using their 1994 research on destructive communication, the authors offer 10 strategies couples can use to make marriage less punitive and more fulfilling. Gottman and Gottman are always impressive as they explain how anger, blame, and resentment can derail productive dialogues. Their prescriptions allow real needs to be constructively addressed instead of ignored. Their research is eye-opening, whether they're stating the obvious or talking about something more surprising or illuminating. Reading alternately and acting out vignettes, the talented narrators have their hands full with writing that never escapes the stiffness of social science. If they're trying to compensate with a little overacting, it doesn't mar the usefulness of this state-of-the-art advice.
