Gestalt Group Therapy is a profoundly human endeavor. Its practice
touches every corner of the human condition. Bud Feder traverses
this territory with a light touch and a gentle humor. But make no
mistake, the territory he maps can be as treacherous as it can be
rewarding, and the advice he shares is hard won from a lifetime of
entering into the mysteries, surprises and challenges of the
practice of Gestalt Group Therapy. Bud brings a unique perspective
to his work with groups - one that integrates a deeply democratic
sensibility with an appreciation for the judicious exercise of the
leader's authority. This integration helps bring the best of the
gestalt therapy tradition into the realm of interactive,
process-oriented group work promoting dialogical relationships
among all group participants, members and leaders
In 1980, the original Beyond the Hot Seat was published and
immediately recognized as a seminal work, providing gestalt group
therapists with the first book exclusively devoted to that modality
and offering them an expanded vision by linking gestalt principles
with those of group dynamics, hence the title. Now, almost thirty
years later, we are pleased to offer an updated and thoroughly
revised version. In this new edition, will be found six of the most
important chapters from the original, augmented by thirteen new
chapters from a much more diverse and senior set of contributors.
Whereas all the contributors from the original book were Americans,
the new version has chapters from outstanding other practitioners
from Sweden, England, Australia and New Zealand. Their writings in
this book open up new territory and address fundamental issues in a
more sophisticated and interrelated way. In the thirty years since
the original was published, gestalt group therapists from around
the world have had a good deal more connection and dialogue with
one another -- sparked in part by the original version published in
1980. We believe that now, once again, gestalt group therapists
will be greatly enriched by reading Beyond the Hot Seat Revisited
-- which interestingly, is the first book since 1980 that is
devoted exclusively to the modality, at least in English.
