Phenomenology of the Self in Gestalt Therapy: Individual and Field in the Therapeutic Situation (The Gestalt Therapy Book Series)

Phenomenology of the Self in Gestalt Therapy is a compelling and insightful work that offers an original and in-depth perspective on Gestalt theory and practice. With theoretical rigor and clear exposition, the author guides the reader through the core concepts of the model, such as the self, spontaneity, and contact, skillfully weaving together phenomenological reflection and clinical sensitivity.By revisiting the founding text of Perls, Hefferline, and Goodman in light of contemporary developments, Macaluso makes complex material accessible and reveals its ongoing relevance to therapeutic practice. This is an essential text for psychotherapists, students, and scholars seeking to engage with the living heart of Gestalt and to deepen their understanding of how its theory can inform and enrich clinical work.
