Gestalt Therapy Summary

Gestalt Therapy: Theory, Research and Practice by Eleanor O'Leary

The revival of interest in Gestalt therapy has highlighted the need for a source book which considers theory, practice and research. This work includes an unpublished transcript by Fritz Perls who originated the therapy. Gestalt therapy enables people to deal with a range of emotions that are obstacles to growth and development. This approach to therapy can enable people to let go of anger, grief, resentment, depression and fear and, in so doing, resolve problems such as indecision and unsatisfactory personal relationships. The therapy uses dreams and fantasies experimentally in a group setting. The main aim of the book is to provide professional and student therapists, mental health professionals, counsellors and academic researchers of therapy with a starting point on which to base their own studies and practice.
