A Great Read

Having just started on a Gestalt training myself, I found this book to be an easy read and also very informative about Gestalt principles. I would have liked to give it a 5 star rating but didn't have anything else to compare it to as it's the first Gestalt book I have read so far. Definately recommend it to Gestalt fledglings like me!

compassion in action

Clarkson's writing is appropriate to present time. The straightforwardness and depth of her writing is true to transcendence, and the core of Gestalt therapy, in philosophy and practice. Balanced and egalitarian, this book is a good example of writing that integrates masculine and feminine energies.
