Gestalt Group Therapy: A Practical Guide: Second Edition - Paperback

by Peter Cole (Introduction by), Bud Feder (Author)

Gestalt Group Therapy is a profoundly human endeavor. Its practice touches every corner of the human condition. Bud Feder traverses this territory with a light touch and a gentle humor. But make no mistake, the territory he maps can be as treacherous as it can be rewarding, and the advice he shares is hard won from a lifetime of entering into the mysteries, surprises and challenges of the practice of Gestalt Group Therapy. Bud brings a unique perspective to his work with groups - one that integrates a deeply democratic sensibility with an appreciation for the judicious exercise of the leader's authority. This integration helps bring the best of the gestalt therapy tradition into the realm of interactive, process-oriented group work promoting dialogical relationships among all group participants, members and leaders
