In the early sections of this book, Staemmler (supported by his Buddhist wife, Barbara) comprehensively explores and questions the traditional Gestalt therapy theory of aggression and proposes a new approach to working with anger and hostility. Further sections include in-depth examinations of the topics of time (the Here and Now and Regressive Processes) and understanding (Dialogue and Interpretation and Cultivated Uncertainty). From Staemmler's critical gaze, Dan Bloom observes, concepts emerge as refreshed, re-formed, and revitalized constructs so we can continue to develop the theory and practice of contemporary Gestalt therapy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Bringing a new perspective to gestalt therapy,\u003c\/em\u003e Aggression, Time, and Understanding \u003cem\u003ecombines a sharp critical eye with impressive scholarship...\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Dan Bloom, Editor-in-Chief, \u003cem\u003eStudies in Gestalt Therapy: Dialogical Bridges\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Frank-M.
