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. Employing
the wide-ranging techniques of the Gestalt approach to heighten
sensory perception and motoric behaviour and to deepen the capacity
to enjoy interpersonal relationships, it is a practical insight
into one of the most important psychotherapeutic techniques.
Starting with the premise that experience begins at the contact
boundary it examines the nature of that experience and the various
obstacles that can stand in the way of growth. 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.
From the introduction: So I would commend these formative writings
of Fritz Perls to those who would get a fuller sense of the
original ideas of Gestalt therapy, a work in progress, but already
a fairly consistent field-relational approach to psychology and
therapy. My hope is that, with more people reading these papers and
our 'Bible, ' Perls, Hefferline and Goodman, the discussion of what
is useful and what needs reworking can be grounded in a rediscovery
of what is exciting and unique in Perls' ideas. Peter Philippson
