Joining us today is Dr. Robert Navarra. Dr. Navarra is a certified Master Gottman Therapist, consultant and trainer. He is a popular presenter at national conferences and has trained therapists nationally and internationally. Dr. Navarra has co-authored several book chapters with Dr.’s John and Julie Gottman. The Couple Recovery Development Approach (CRDA) was developed by Dr. Navarra. This approach is a relational model of addiction assessment and treatment based on his research and the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California. This model was integrated by Dr. Navarra into a two-day workshop for recovering couples, as well as a one-day training workshop for therapists and counselors. Dr. Navarra works with Dr. John Gottman on randomized clinical trials of the CRDA model in treatment programs, and also teaches a graduate class on addictive disorders at Santa Clara University.
