Its major tenets — a rejection of traditional notions of objectivity, a radical (for the time) focus on building rapport between therapist and client as a relationship of equals, careful attention to the bodily sensations that accompany strong emotions, and a guiding belief in the therapy room as a problem-solving laboratory in which experimental approaches towards interpersonal relations can be attempted in a safe setting — have been widely incorporated into a broad range of approaches today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Open-ended and inquisitive rather than a rigid, manualized set of techniques, Gestalt is a set of guiding principles that inspire an active, present-focused, relational stance on the part of the therapist. This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how this approach has evolved and how it might be used in their own practice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eGestalt Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e represents an incredibly impressive work that, to students and veteran psychologists alike, provides a meaningful gift that invites us to examine and expand our perceptions, not only of our clients, but also of ourselves and our field.” –\u003ci\u003ePsycCRITIQUES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how this approach has evolved and how it might be used in their own practice.\"—\u003ci\u003eCounseling Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries Preface\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Use This Book With APA Psychotherapy Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Therapeutic Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuture Developments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuggested Readings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReferences\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Series Editors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MX - APA Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577987731799,"sku":"9781433818592","price":33.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781433818592.jpg?v=1746097499","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gestalt-therapy-9781433818592","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
