Toman introduce the historical underpinnings and fundamental concepts of Gestalt therapy and illustrate applications of those concepts to therapeutic practice. The book is unique in that it is the first Gestalt text specifically designed for the academic and training institute settings. Gestalt Therapy takes both a conceptual and a practical approach to examining classic and cutting-edge constructs.

A good compilation of chapters on different aspects of gestalt therapy. Plus, each chapter contains a dialogue between chapter author and commentator, which brings a deeper richness to the work.
