Description

A seminal book that placed the study of human behaviour in a new perspective, demolished many schools of psychology and brought about a return to the dynamic view of human personality. It invites the reader to go on a course of self-therapy designed to develop an awareness of the self and a growth of the personality. Gestalt therapy is explained in detail, with its basis in the methods of psychotherapy from Freud to the present outlined. First published in 1951, Gestalt Therapy has remained constantly in print ever since and is regarded as one of the most important studies of self-awareness available.

Probably the most important work in gestalt therapy.Stilla s vaible today as it was when written on teh 1950's.

Often decried this book is the most important book for gestalt therapists and should be. Do not be dettered by part 2,its fairly silly but the practical advice given in part 1 is invaluable.
