Perls: Ego, Hunger, and Aggression,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ego, Hunger and Aggression: A Revision of Freud's Theory and Method (Paperback)
A necessary read if you're studying the development of psychological methods and therapies. But frustratingly laden with Freudian content or revisions of Freudian concepts (thus the subtitle; so no real secret there). As with Freud, Perls had much to say but unfortunately developed his revised thinking in such a unique and personalized way that it became almost impossible to disconnect his meaning and purpose from an intimate knowledge of his being. As the readers, we do not have the luxury of knowing him that well and thus much was lost on me. Still, if you're considering this book for academic pursuits, it's a good book to say that you have read.
