Rezensionen

"The Polsters have put forth an original body of work which distinguishes itself not only by its theoretical bravado, but by its intention to include and acknowledge a great variety of dissonant perspectives within Gestalt therapy. The energy resulting from their effort leaps off the page."

- Arthur Roberts, Ph.D.
