Gestalt Therapy Verbatim

More about the book

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.
