Short-Term Gestalt Therapy: A Practical Guide

This book is about the effective use of the gestalt approach in short-term therapy and counseling for a wide range of people with various disorders and life problems. It is addressed not only to students studying psychotherapy but also to experienced practitioners. There are no strict prescriptions on what to do and when. The emphasis is placed on what will be most effective for a given person with a specific problem and in a particular set of circumstances. The integrative nature of the gestalt approach makes it especially suitable for short-term therapy and counseling.

The aim of this book is to enhance the overall skill level of therapists and counselors, to expand their repertoire of professional actions. It will be useful to all helping professionals, not just practicing gestalt therapists.
