Woldt N2 - "Gestalt Therapy: History, Theory, and Practice is a basic introductory text that will engage those new to Gestalt therapy. Editors Ansel L. Woldt and Sarah M. Toman introduce the historical underpinnings and fundamental concepts of Gestalt therapy and illustrate applications of those concepts to therapeutic practice." "The book is a unique contribution to the field in that it is the first Gestalt textbook specifically designed for the academic and training institute settings. Gestalt Therapy takes both a conceptual and a practical approach to examining classic and cutting-edge constructs. In each chapter, understanding of concepts proceeds from content to case applications to experiential exercises."--BOOK JACKET ER -
