Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Fair Play movie, Psychological thrillerAbstract
Fair Play is a psychological thriller that centers on ambition and competition while simultaneously addressing ethical issues. The film focuses on Emily and Luke, a couple working at a financial firm, and examines the conflict dynamics that emerge in their relationship following Emily's promotion. The Gottman Method Couples Therapy, utilized in this study, is fundamentally a relationship therapy approach. Situated primarily within the framework of systemic therapy and relationship-oriented approaches, the Gottman Method is an evidence-based therapeutic model developed to strengthen couple relationships and resolve conflicts. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman, this method assists couples in gaining relationship awareness, increasing positive interactions, and aiming for sustainable long-term happiness. Employing the document analysis technique within the scope of qualitative research methods, this study aims to analyze the film Fair Play in the context of Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
