Queering Gestalt Therapy by Ayhan Alman

Queering Gestalt Therapy by Ayhan Alman

The first peer-reviewed book of its kind, this important volume addresses a current gap in the field of gestalt therapy: that the practiceand psychotherapy more broadlystill suffers from pervasive hetero- and cis-normativity.

'Queering Gestalt Therapy is a truly pertinent and seminal contribution to the field of psychotherapy, irrespective of therapeutic orientation and trainingThis volume offers readers a breadth of understanding in its leading-edge discussion of the complexities and nuances in considering gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship diversities. Readers will be rewarded with an essential broadening of awareness-informing-understanding, perspective, and clinical practice across the human landscape.'

Allan Singer, Psychotherapist in Private Practice, Boston, MA, USA

'Thanks to all who contributed to this timely anthology. I was simultaneously enlivened and brought up to date on reading through the diverse voices of contributors. This book makes an important and belated addition to our gestalt field. Anyone practising gestalt therapy with a general population today needs to read it.'

Malcolm Parlett PhD, Author of Future Sense, former editor of the British Gestalt Journal

'Queering Gestalt Therapy is the book missing from the Gestalt reading list. It manages to unfold a new perspective on the subject matter using Gestalt theory, whereas it invites the reader to take a closer look in each author’s personal world that contains the meticulous experience on working with gender radical clients. It is a highly recommended book for all mental health practitioners, regardless their school of thought, as it will embellish their professional practice.'
