Dance of Chairs and Dance of Pronouns. Family Gestalt Therapy

In the book by Giovanni Salonia - one of the most significant contemporary gestalt therapists - a new approach to family therapy is proposed. Unlike many of his colleagues who are enthusiastic about combining gestalt therapy with systemic family therapy, Dr. Salonia bases his work solely on gestalt theory, making important clarifications and creating his own unique system of family psychotherapy. Psychotherapists will gain not only benefits from this book but also aesthetic pleasure.
