Gestalt Therapy is a 1951 book that outlines an extension to psychotherapy, known as gestalt therapy, written by Fritz Perls, Ralph Hefferline, and Paul Goodman. Presented in two parts, the first introduces psychotherapeutic self-help exercises, and the second presents a theory of personality development and growth.
The book is known in the gestalt community as "PHG".[1]
English literature professor George Levine thought of the book as the only emotionally engaging textbook he knew.[2]
