Este es mi libro favorito de los que ha escrito Perls. A mi juicio la síntesis de su trabajo y enseñanza es inmejorable. Para mí es material de consulta permanente.
Es un "must" para los que están interesados en acompañar sus procesos de terapia gestalt con los principios y fundamentos que subyacen a este mágico enfoque.

"To be the only one, and to know that you are real–that's sanity, isn't it?"
- Lila Loomis in Psycho
A great book about great approach. This is where you should start if you are interested in the Gestalt therapy. The first part of this book tells you the basic concepts of Gestalt and explains easily the basic principles about the relationship between the client and the therapeutist in the Gestalt framework.
I personally found the second part rather difficult to concentrate on. But I think that readers of English speaking ancestry will find it more easy to read.
Best thing in this book is that it is extremely easy and almost fun to read. I have read quite a few books about the Gestalt approach, and found reading this very enjoyable. Books by such specialists as Joseph Zinker and Claudio Naranjo are good and insightful, but not necessarily good ones to start with.
And remember that Fritz Perls himself wanted to be simple and clear in his writings and easy to approach. Like he himself said: "any reasonable approach to psychology not hiding behind a professional jargon must be comprehensible to the intelligent layman and must be grounded in the facts of human behaviour." This books is a real book and certainly no psychological jargon or BS. Even if you don't like it, you have to read only 200 pages.

All of Perls' books are an interesting read. Too bad the title sounds so clinical. You don't have to be a psychologist to enjoy this book. Anyone that wants to understand themselves and others better will be satisfied.
