Rezensionen

"In this carefully argued book, Dr. Brownell interweaves Christianity, gestalt therapy, and a scholarly expertise that makes this book valuable for the reader regardless of the reader's beliefs. This book might challenge gestalt therapists to seriously consider theology along with their other concepts and invite Christians to welcome gestalt therapy into their own ways of looking at their spiritual worlds." Dan Bloom, JD, past president, Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy and New York Institute of Gestalt Therapy, USA

"We usually think of God as an entity inside or above us. Philip Brownell brings us to think of God as an experience at the 'contact boundary,' in the between. A deeply educated psychologist and gestalt therapist, Brownell offers the readers what we could call a 'post-modern' experience of God. He copes with the most complex issues of religion and anthropology with the simplicity and depth of a child who says 'the emperor is naked'." Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb, Istituto di Gestalt HCC, Italy
