- Summary:
- "In this interview, master Gestalt therapist Erving Polster discusses his formative experiences and significant lessons from five decades in the field. Polster explores fundamental Gestalt principles such as the paradoxical theory of change and the importance of the therapeutic relationship, while examining pitfalls of being a new therapist, such as the dangers of imitating the masters. A spontaneous role play highlights Polster's exceptional skill in bringing freshness and aliveness to a session with a highly self-critical client. You will gain insight into the nuanced perspective of a brilliant, innovative, and free-thinking therapist while getting a clear understanding of the essence of Gestalt therapy. Most importantly, you'll get a sense of Erving Polster, the person--fully vital in his eighties--and how he brings his full self into his therapeutic work. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher
