GESTALT THERAPY: Awareness in the Here and Now
A Complete Course in Gestalt Therapy: Foundations, Theory, Technique, and Clinical Practice
Most people spend their lives talking about their problems instead of actually meeting them. Gestalt therapy exists to close that gap - and this book is the most complete, clinically grounded, plain-English course available on how it actually works.
Written by a certified Gestalt therapist who has personally assessed and counselled more than 10,000 people, this book takes you from first principles to the therapy room itself. You'll learn not just what Gestalt therapy is, but how to think and work like a Gestalt practitioner - how to read what a client's body is already saying before their words catch up, how to turn insight into direct experience, and how to help someone change by first helping them stop fighting who they are.
Inside, you'll discover:
Whether you're a student, a trainee therapist, a practising clinician looking to sharpen your technique, or simply someone who wants to understand yourself with more honesty, this book gives you a complete, usable map of one of the most powerful approaches in modern psychotherapy.
