Frederick Salomon Perls Ordre des livres
Fritz Perls était un psychiatre et psychothérapeute allemand, reconnu comme le fondateur de la thérapie Gestalt. Cette approche thérapeutique, qu'il a développée avec sa femme Laura, se concentre sur l'amélioration de la conscience des sensations, perceptions, sentiments corporels, émotions et comportements dans le moment présent. Le travail de Perls met l'accent sur l'importance de la relation et du contact entre le soi, son environnement et autrui. Sa méthodologie se distingue de la psychologie Gestalt, tout en partageant certains principes fondamentaux.

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.
