This book is packed, without being written to intimidate. Sections are clearly headed, inviting use of the book as a reference. As my understanding and interests in gestalt therapy evolve, so do different sections strike me differently.
Zinker is a coach, who leans over my shoulder as I consider my approach to helping others. The tone is unequivocal: encouraging and articulate.
Zinker has been been immersed in the field to such depths that his writing shows evidence of integration of his findings. He covers gestalt therapy; a difficult topic to write about. He spells out his findings about working with families and does so in an aesthetic, almost spiritual.
Yet, I also find the book written with an intellectual rigour that invites revisiting. It's written in a can-do, leading edge manner.
Editorial Review:
Drawing on a wealth of detailed, fully annotated clinical examples from his more than 30 years of experience, Joseph Zinker, founder and leader of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, offers a hands-on guide that is both philosophical and concrete. He demystifies the process of Gestalt therapy, describing exactly how he goes about conducting the session--how he sets it up, what he says, what he looks for, follows, supports, and why.
