Gestalt Therapy Verbatim

‡a A novel autobiography in which Fritz Perls applies his theory of focusing on awareness, and writes "whatever wants to be written."

A Revision of Freud's Theory and Method

Ego, Hunger and Aggression

'The Gestalt Approach' and 'Eye Witness to Therapy' can be read together as one entity and also as two separate works. This book is an exploration of a somewhat new approach to the entire subject of human behavior- both in its actuality and its potentiality. It is written from the belief that man can live a fuller, richer life than most of us now do. It is written from the conviction that man has not yet even begun to discover the potential of energy and enthusiasm that lies in him. The book endeavors to bring together a theory and a practical application of that theory of the problems of daily life and to the techniques of psychotherapy. The theory itself is grounded in experience and observation; it has grown and changed with years of practice and application. -- from Introduction.

The Gestalt Approach & Eye Witness to Therapy

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.

From Planned Psychotherapy to Gestalt Therapy Essays and Lectures by Dr. Frederick Salomon Perls 1945 - 1965

"Fritz Perls, the originator and developer of Gestalt Therapy, fives a clear explanation in simple terms of the basic ideas underlying this method, which at the same time makes a contribution to existential philosophy." -- Back cover of previous edition.

Frederick S. Perls blev født i Tyskland i 1894 og rejste i mellemkrigsårene til USA, hvor han virkede til sin død i 1970. Perls’ navn er nært knyttet til gestaltterapien, en eksistentialistisk behandlingsform, der forener gruppeterapi med individuel behandling. Der arbejdes med bevidstgørelse af de angstdirigerede tendenser, som ligger bag så mange adfærdsmønstre. Perls’ arbejder og resultater har vakt interesse verden over, og i denne inciterende bog får vi lov at komme ind i hans værksted og oplever en stor personligheds arbejde med mennesker – og med sig selv. Bogen udkom første gang på dansk i 1972 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

Gestaltterapi

Gestalttherapie an ihren Wurzeln. Einfach und kraftvoll. Immer im Hier und Jetzt. Erlebnis- und erfahrungsbezogen. Denn das, was in der Psychotherapie heilend wirkt, sind neue Erfahrungen und nicht einfach neue Erklärungen. Dieses Buch ist ein wichtiges historisches Dokument. Zum großen Teil erscheinen die hier veröffentlichten Texte von Fritz Perls, dem weltberühmten Mitbegründer der Gestalttherapie, zum ersten Mal in Schriftform: Vorträge, Demonstrationen, ein wirklich außergewöhnliches Interview sowie schließlich seine autobiografischen Stichworte.
