A well organised and interesting book.
This is an ideal accompaniment for our DTLLS programme and I will be using this when we look at theories of teaching & learning. More of a reference book and requires careful reading so that learners can see how Gestalt has a positive impact on teaching and learning.
A valuable addition as a course textbook. Clear and well laid out with good learning exercises.
However, the addition of application to coaching clients and consequent coaching vignettes makes it less relevant in places to a psychotherapy course.
