Gestalt Therapy: Potpourri

Reviews the book, The Handbook of Gestalt Therapy edited by Chris Hatcher and Philip Himelstein (1976). The authors present the reader with a paradox by calling this publication a handbook and then stating, as they have, that Gestalt therapy can be learned only by experiencing it. Be that as it may, this book does contain something for almost everyone who has interest in the subject. The authors have brought together under one cover original works, recent publications, and some of the best of earlier published materials. One can find in this book interesting explorations of the development and genesis of Gestalt therapy and a comprehensive list of resources. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
