This review is from: The Dreamer and the Dream : Essays and Reflections on Gestalt Therapy (Paperback)

This book by the late Rainette Fantz is wonderful... The author reflects on her career as a Gestalt Therapist with style and candor, covering everything from the intricacies of opening sessions to gestalt dreamwork. Fantz and Roberts (who edited and wrote and introduction to the volume) were both actors before becoming therapists--and the result is a book loaded with insight and charm.
