Skills in Gestalt Counselling & Psychotherapy by Phil Joyce

Gives an introduction to the different techniques used at each stage of the counselling process. This book takes the reader through the process from beginning to termination and focuses on skills which arise out of Gestalt theory as well as those invoked by the counselling relationship. It also examines the spiritual dimension of counselling.
′Written in a clear and accessible style, this slim volume will be valued as a wise guide in attaining the necessary skills for a Gestalt flavoured clinical practice.. It is in the reference material from Gestalt practitioners across the world that the authors provide a succint integration of Gestalt theory and practice from these last fifty years. This is one of the understated but powerful aspects of the book... I recommend that all Gestalt practitioners get a copy of Skills in Gestalt Counselling and Psychotherapy for their professional library and make sure that it is mandatory reading for their students′ - Dorothy E Siminovitch, The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, USA

′An informative book, well worth the money, that will enrich the practice of any practitioner′ - Stress News

`This book was put on our reading list for diploma students in humanistic counselling, and it has been snapped up by the students′ - Bee Springwood, Self & Society
