Gestalt Therapy: The Attitude and Practice of an Atheoretical Experientialism

About this book

This remarkable exploration of the inner principles of Gestalt therapy originated over twenty years ago in the form of a completed book written at Fritz Perls request. Here it is joined by a collection of essays that present Naranjo s reassessment of Gestalt therapy for the present day. In his fascinating study Naranjo has captured the flavor and distinctive character of the California-based school of Gestalt therapy propagated by Perls in his last years as a teacher and exemplar of the approach he pioneered. Lively and highly readable learned and insightful this book is indispensable both for professionals and the lay-reader in demonstrating why Fritz Perls was truly the father of the now-flourishing human potential movement.
