Awareness Dialogue & Process: Essays on Gestalt Therapy
Called "the most significant addition to the body of Gestalt therapy literature in almost two decades," this collection of Yontef's writings encompasses the history and politics of Gestalt therapy, Gestalt therapy theory, field theory and the practice of Gestalt therapy including new chapters on treating people with character disorders and working with shame. Highly recommended as a training text and as a resource for graduate students and scholars.
