Developing Gestalt Counselling (Developing Counselling series)

"MacKewan does not go into great detail about the basic theory of Gestalt, as this is covered more fully in 'Gestalt Counselling in Action' by Clarkson. However, I found her summary of the theory immensely clear and helpful. For me, this book made sense of modern Gestalt in a way that other books had failed to do.

The main part of the book covers a variety of areas in a practical and sensitive way. Some issues covered are: attending to beginnings, experiments, polarities, unfinished business and creative indifference.

I have found that this is a book to dip back into again and again. For any counselling student who is having trouble getting to grips with Gestalt (as I was) I recommend buying and reading this book."
