It is one of a handful of seminal texts published shortly after World War II that opened the pathways for new approaches to psychotherapy that remain in print today  over a half-century later. Interest in Gestalt therapy was limited primarily to mental health practitioners for almost twenty years when it suddenly captured the interest of many diverse groups outside the healing professions including educators  members of the clergy  and the general public. When a photograph of one of its founders  Frederick (Fritz) Perls  was featured in a story and a full-page color photograph in Life magazine  it became the \"in\" therapeutic method of the moment. The publicity brought the attention of the mental health community to Gestalt therapy and among the first books published in almost two decades intended primary for the professional was this book  Gestalt Therapy Now. The contributors  Arnold Beisser  Lois Brien  Henry Close  Ruth Cohn  Bruce Denner  Katherine Ennis  John Burke Enright  Joen Fagan  Walter Kempler  Elaine Kepner  Janet Lederman  Abraham Levitsky  Sandra Mitchell  Claudio Naranjo  Vincent Francis OConnell  Frederick Perls  Laura Perls  Janie Rhyne  Marilyn B. Rosanes-Berrett  Irma Lee Shepherd  James S. Simkin  and Richard W. Wallen were the leading Gestalt trainers and practitioners of the time. This Gestalt Journal Press edition includes all the original contributions plus a timely foreword by noted Gestalt trainer and organizational consultant  Sen Gaffney.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652927152181,"sku":"ByrdShop_0831400234","price":294.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780831400231.jpg?v=1781853272","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/gestalt-therapy-now-theory-techniques-applications-9780831400231","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
