Very useful book for beginners counselors and psychotherapists. Simply written and easy to follow. Contains useful guidelines for different counseling situations.
This book clearly presents Gestalt approach in psychotherapy: importance of awareness and co-created relationship (I-It vs. I-Thou).
I enjoyed that it contains some interesting exercises to practice.
10/10

I just read the 4th Edition and found it really useful. I read it in a therapist book study group so that allowed us to also put into practice (in a Gestalt way) what the authors wrote about. For any Gestalt therapists or wannabees, it's a must read.

Extremely in-depth and practical.

This is a great, in-depth guide into practical questions of Gestalt psychotherapy and counselling. Rich in topics and references for further reading, this book might serve as a day to day guide for every student and/or practitioner of Gestalt psychotherapy. I would highly recommend this read for everyone who is studying, practising or thinking about studying Gestalt psychotherapy. This book, in fact, was in the list of mandatory literature for my Gestalt studies.
