Dan Wile modestly developed his own creative, thoughtful, and unique style of couple therapy. He has been called one of the greatest couples therapists by John Gottman who now incorporates his work, and there are some stylistic similarities with Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy. However, Dan has a fascinating, powerful, and easy-to-grasp perspective on relationships that you won’t hear anywhere else, and he shares much of it very generously on his website and blog.
