Gestalttherapie

The book is a well-founded introduction to Gestalt therapy and invites readers on a brief yet intense journey of discovery. In contrast to other psychotherapeutic approaches that focus on uncovering subconscious conflicts or developing alternative behaviors, Gestalt therapy places the lively encounter between therapist and patient at its core. Accordingly, psychological disorders are understood as disturbances of contact. Many effective Gestalt therapeutic interventions, such as the empty chair technique or working with inner parts, have long been adopted by other therapeutic modalities as well.
