Book Description

Publication Date: November 24, 1997 | ISBN-10: 080397860X | ISBN-13: 978-0803978607 | Edition: 1
`In this eminently sensible, practical and thought-provoking book, Jennifer Mackewn takes gestalt light years forwards towards a synthesis and integration of psychological styles and away from what she describes as "Perlism". I agree with her: this is a book for therapists, not principally for gestaltists... In inviting the reader to "pick and choose" from the many and varied, always practical, hands-on approach chapters... Jennifer Mackewn hopes we will both enjoy her book and find it of use. This reader, commending the book to you all, has no doubt that both her hopes will be fulfilled' - Self & Society

5.0 out of 5 stars Current, grounded & positive overview of Gestalt, August 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Developing Gestalt Counselling (Developing Counselling series) (Paperback)
In the evolving theory of gestalt therapy, Jennifer MacKewn takes a readable, leading and positive stance on gestalt therapy.

Content-wise it would have probably been called "gestalt therapy integrated", would the Polsters not have claimed that title. I found this book comparably eloquent.

Whilst a book may not be the most powerful way of grasping gestalt concepts, MacKewn provides case studies, illustrations and comprehensive referencing to enhance access & ground her claims.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely done, January 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Developing Gestalt Counselling (Developing Counselling series) (Paperback)
I had a pleasant surprise with this book. Not just a theory discussion, this book is a nice overview of the "how to" of a practitioner who uses gestalt. I highly recommend it to those embarking on integrating gestalt in their work.
