Title: A wonderful book!
Review: As a therapist who is new to the Gestalt, I have found this text to be a wonderful introduction into the philosophical underpinnings of Gestalt. Dr. Crocker is a philosopher by training, and she writes with a clear philosopher's hand - using language precisely, defining terms and using metaphor to help the reader understand complex phenomena. As a trained therapist, she also provides some good clinical case examples to illuminate her discussion.If you like philosophy, and are interested in Gestalt therapy, I would recommend this book. If you are interested in phenomenology, I would also recommend this book.I believe that this book is one that I will re-read in the future, and each re-reading will help me understand Gestalt at a deeper level.
