Fritz Perls, here and now

Fritz Perls, the architect of gestalt therapy, comes alive in this oral biography. Compiled from interviews with those who knew him - his wife, his children, his lovers, his students and his peers in the humanistic psychology movement - the book presents a multifaceted portrait of a man who was a pioneer in the non-analytic method of dealing with people and their problems. Gestalt therapy is a way of living, a way of awakening to a sense of the present and the importance of our immediate actions and reactions. It is a tool to change the way we live our lives. And if Fritz Perls did not change, he certainly did affect the lives of all those he encountered.
