Description
From the introduction: So I would commend these formative writings of Fritz Perls to those who would get a fuller sense of the original ideas of Gestalt therapy, a work in progress, but already a fairly consistent field-relational approach to psychology and therapy. My hope is that, with more people reading these papers and our 'Bible, ' Perls, Hefferline and Goodman, the discussion of what is useful and what needs reworking can be grounded in a rediscovery of what is exciting and unique in Perls' ideas. Peter Philippson January, 2012 Contents: Planned Psychotherapy Frederick Perls delivered this talk at the William Alanson White Institute in late 1947 or early 1948.
