Often decried this book is the most important book for gestalt therapists and should be. Do not be dettered by part 2,its fairly silly but the practical advice given in part 1 is invaluable.
Probably the most important work in gestalt therapy.Stilla s vaible today as it was when written on teh 1950's.
