Which couple types can appropriate Gottman Method interventions be used with?

The correct choice indicates that the Gottman Method interventions are applicable to all three types of couples identified in Gottman’s work. This is grounded in the understanding that the Gottman Method is designed to help couples at various stages of relationship health.

Type 1 couples are typically those whose relationships are functioning well but may face some challenges or areas for improvement. Type 2 couples generally experience a moderate level of distress, and though they may encounter more significant conflicts, they still show a willingness to engage in therapeutic work. Type 3 couples are often in high levels of distress, possibly contemplating separation, but can still benefit from the structured approach of the Gottman Method.

The interventions provided by the Gottman Method are versatile and can be calibrated to suit the specific dynamics of each couple type. Therefore, the comprehensive applicability of the method makes it a valuable tool for practitioners working with diverse couples facing varying degrees of relational difficulties. This approach allows therapists to tailor strategies that respect each couple's unique context, making it effective for all three types.
