Frederick Salomon Perls Volgorde van de boeken
Fritz Perls was een Duits-Amerikaanse psychiater en psychotherapeut, bekend als de grondlegger van Gestalttherapie. Deze therapeutische benadering, die hij samen met zijn vrouw Laura ontwikkelde, richt zich op het vergroten van het bewustzijn van sensaties, percepties, lichamelijke gevoelens, emoties en gedragingen in het huidige moment. Perls' werk benadrukt het belang van relatie en contact tussen het zelf, de omgeving en anderen. Zijn methodologie onderscheidt zich van de Gestaltpsychologie, hoewel het enkele fundamentele principes deelt.

This 1st book by Perls is significant because in addition to criticising Freud, it also lays the groundwork for a new system of psychotherapy. In fact it's the beginning of the gestalt therapy by one of the founding fathers of this therapy.-- Ehrenwald Frederick Perls received his M.D. in Berlin in 1921. Like Wilhelm Reich he started out as a Freudian analyst, but under the influence of Kohler, Wertheimer & Kurt Goldstein developed his own school of analysis: Gestalt Therapy. His principles of gestalt therapy have been adopted by countless encounter & sensitivity groups. He aims in this book to examine some psychological & psychopathological reactions of the human organism within its environment. The author is criticsl of orthodox psychoanalysis, & claims that the use of the new intellectual tools holism (field conception) & semantics (the meaning of meaning) can greatly improve our theoretical outlook.
