Fritz Perls: Here and Now

by Jack Gaines

Fritz Perls is the father of gestalt therapy, better yet, meet the many different men who were Fritz Perls. To his associates he was brilliant and innovative, to his students he was brash and egotistical, to his children he was cruel and unfeeling, and to his lovers he was unforgettable. Whatever he was, he was never dull. This is an oral biography that follows Perls from Europe to South Africa to the US as he develops and strives to gain acceptance of gestalt therapy, and the theory of "the whole, here and now."
