Rezensionen

'The Relational Heart of Gestalt Therapy is a step in the direction of humanizing psychotherapy, making it a compelling opportunity for people to discover the nuances of their existence and fly away into the realm of everyday stimulations. When we say, "the future is now" we say we are living in a universe of interactive agents who, in union, honor a lifetime. The authors of this book flesh out this wonder of earthly relationships of which the psychotherapy relationship is a prime inspiration.' - Erving Polster, PhD, International Gestalt Therapy Trainer and Founder of the Gestalt Training Center-San Diego

'All schools of thought need to recognize how they've developed over time. The

Relational Heart of Gestalt Therapy explores the shift to a more "field-relational" approach - less individualistic, riskier, and more humanly revealing. Peter Cole has assembled a range of talented therapists with different ways of working. Some are "old hands" in articulating this profound shift in values, others discover it with new excitement. Together they reveal the range, integrity, and vitality of Gestalt therapy today.' - Malcolm Parlett, PhD, Former editor of the British Gestalt Journal, international trainer and coach

'This engaging and intriguing book combines stories of relational gestalt therapy with its psychoanalytic origins and influences, making both more available to practitioners of both traditions. Many of the best writers in contemporary gestalt therapy appear here, and the reader will be well rewarded with insight and enjoyment.' - Donna Orange, PhD, Faculty and training and supervising analyst, Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity, New York

'Peter Cole's edited book offers a major contribution to the understanding and practice of a relational approach in our present challenged world. This book "unpacks" the process of focusing of "being somebody... rooted somewhere" through an interactive and courageously mutual approach. What also touched me was the humility and inclusiveness of the authors as they describe theory and practice. It is as if they are practicing in the text the very mutuality of this approach; I felt talked with as I read each chapter. The multiple authors offer us perspectives both theoretically and in practice of the living embodied mutuality that is relational Gestalt. It is a description of what is both precious and not precious, uniquely human and yet fully embedded in the contextual situation. I highly recommend this entire volume with its diversity of topics and authors' perspectives on the experience of an engaged process of connection and change' - Michael Clemmens, PhD, Author of Getting Beyond Sobriety: Clinical Approaches to Long-Term Recovery, Editor of Embodied Relational Gestalt: Theories and Applications
