Fritz Perls was a co-founder of Gestalt therapy, a psychotherapeutic approach that emphasizes heightened awareness of sensation, perception, and emotion in the present moment. His method highlights the importance of relationship and contact between the self, its environment, and others. Perls developed this form of therapy in the mid-20th century. His work is distinct from, though related to, Gestalt psychology, focusing on the here and now experience.

Compiled & edited from transcriptions of three workshop-demonstrations that took place at the Esalen Institute in 1968, the first section of this book includes four lectures wherein Perls presents a clear explanation in simple terms of the basic ideas he believed underlie the philosophy & methodology of Gestalt therapy. The lectures are followed by verbatim transcripts of work Perls did with workshop participants. This Gestalt Journal edition includes an introduction by Michael Vincent Miller that explores the political & cultural milieu when Gestalt therapy leapt to the "theatrical forefront" of the human potential movement.
