Читать книгу Fritz Perls in Berlin 1893 - 1933 - Bernd Bocian - Страница 7

This volume is dedicated to Fritz Perls’s impact on Gestalt therapy. In its breadth and depth, the account reveals the multifaceted background and its significance for Perls’s life and the development of Gestalt therapy.

The roots of Gestalt therapy lie in the Germany of the 1920^th. After Fritz and Laura Perls were forced to flee Nazi Germany they had to plant and nurture these roots on different soil.

Bernd Bocian’s well-informed elucidation exemplifies the variation and breadth of the cultural, political and historical embedment. The later development of Gestalt therapy is based on what he describes so thoroughly, so vividly and with such versatility.

The pleasure of reading this differentiated and colorful account should not be limited to German readers, and the DVG-Board wholeheartedly supports the publication of an English edition of this book.

We are particularly pleased that the story of Fritz Perls’s life in Berlin is ready to be presented at the 10^th European Gestalt Conference in Berlin!
