Гештальт: искусство контакта

Rate this book
Gestalt Therapy has been developing steadily for the last 50 years in America as well as in Europe. It is currently practiced in different settings: individual, group, and family therapies; personal growth; and social, medical and business organizations.

This book is written mostly for beginners and for psychotherapy clients: it summarizes the central philosophy of this approach and the main techniques for the enrichment of contact. It includes sketches, charts, indexes, a glossary and a bibliography, which help make the concept come alive. It also explains, in an accessible way, the latest discoveries concerning the brain (neurosciences), dreams and sexuality.

Serge Ginger puts forth a specifically French approach: a synthesis of the French culture (greatly influenced by psychoanalysis) along with a mobilizing and interactive method, emphasizing the cycle of contact, evoking the emotions, the body and the right hemisphere of the brain.

It is a new, optimistic approach to human relations.

місцями це було корисно: поскладати по поличках в голові основні теоретичні засади гештальту, поняття, методи, вправи. але в цілому це вже доволі застаріла інформація, якщо дивитися з точки зору науковості, а подекуди і навіть добряче так упереджена

Ginger wrote a very understandable book about what Gestalt is, how to deal with it and how to understand it. I’ve been into Gestalt practice for some time now, and only after reading this book, I can answer a lot of questions regarding this psychotherapeutic practice.
In the book you’ll find a lot of explanations about different psychological terms and phenomena, you’ll see how Gestalt technic is applied into practice, and will find out a bit more about the father of Gestalt — Friedrich Salomon Perls.
I would recommend this book to all those who wonder what is Gestalt-therapy and why it is unique.

Очень устаревшая книга в которой автор говорит что все великие ученые, художники и мыслители мужчины из-за мутаций (ну да, ага)
В целом вступление полезно и последние 20 основных понятий. Мне нравится мысль про агрессию как пробуждение к действию, про виды торможений действия, которые правда по мнению автора книги приводят к раку. Ну такое, короче, не советую. А если думаете над тем чтоб пойти к гештальт терапевту будет достаточно предисловия

возможно, мариночка, тебе стоит уже перестать читать книги про гештальт

впрочем, стопка книг в углу так не считает

Быстрое введение в Гештальт. Достаточно, чтобы ухватить суть.
