From Planned Psychotherapy to Gestalt Therapy: Essays and Lectures - 1945 to 1965 Frederick Salomon Perls, M.D. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780939266906)

From the introduction: So I would commend these formative writings of Fritz Perls to those who would get a fuller sense of the original ideas of Gestalt therapy, a work in progress, but already a fairly consistent field-relational approach to psychology and therapy. My hope is that, with more people reading these papers and our 'Bible, ' Perls, Hefferline and Goodman, the discussion of what is useful and what needs reworking can be grounded in a rediscovery of what is exciting and unique in Perls' ideas.
