This is therapy feedback from Gnansakthy Mohan from Hahn - Germany - 10 February 2013

My husband and I were brought to Dr. Gauthamadas by our son who was upset by our quarelling. I am a Director of Nursing and my husband is a retired health scientist. We have been married more than 40 years. We have always been quarelling and have never respected each other. We have been to therapy in Germany but they could do nothing with us.

We came to Dr. Gautham unwillingly. We did not think anything could be done after 40 years. I was fed up and ready to divorce my husband and we were ready to go our own seperate ways. But for the sake of our son we came to Dr. Gautham. We also had only 10 days in Chennai and did not think anything could be done in that time.

All in all we had a good experience in the short time available. We attended therapy every day. Dr. Gautham's therapy is focussed. He has a customer orientation but is fully in control, pulling us back on track whenever we digressed. His therapy is flexible, context oriented and in a fast track form.

There is no gender difference or bias in Dr. Gautham's therapy. Surprisingly he did not speak to us seperately like other therapists. Yet, he gave each of us equal chances to speak and verify our behaviour with each other.

There was a clear order and organisation in the therapy discussion. The comments and procedure was justifiable and upto the mark. The process made us to think and also to digest the discussion.

Because of the therapy we were able to realise the problems that we have created for each other, and to see things as they are. We now realise that we have to try to develop methods to either solve the problems, or go around and compensate the problem, or to talk out the problem or face the problem, but not to quarrel or be rude to each other.

The therapy helped me to stabilise my personality and self confidence. I will now sincerely try to accept my husband for what he is and my husband has also promised to accept me for what I am.

Many thanks to you Dr. Gautham, for your patience with me and thanks for your suggestions. Even though I live in Germany I will suggest you to anyone, especially for your competence. At this time I also thank my son for choosing you as our therapist.

I would like to say that, though small, the clinic has very good organisation. Patients are seen one after the other according to customer registration. What I like very much is that preference is given to customers if there is a need for priority (and we always waited our turn). The clinic is clean with air conditioning, adequate light, fans, comfortable chairs, water etc. My suggestion is the whole organisation and total quality management can be put up for ISO 9000:2000 certificate.
