Gestalt Practice: Living and Working in Pursuit of wHolism

Gestalt Practice is an important and potentially transformative read for organization development consultants, executive coaches, corporate leaders and managers, HR professionals, community and institutional leaders. It will also inform Gestalt practitioners in general, as well as students who want to learn from renowned experts how to effectively bring about meaningful and sustainable change using Gestalt theory and methods. Finally, Gestalt Practice will have appeal to those who wish to understand how to use Gestalt in their personal and professional lives.

Chapters provide in-depth advice for application and practice, organized into four main categories: roots of Gestalt practice, Gestalt practice at multiple levels of system, Gestalt approach to change management, and – perhaps most notably – a section devoted to improving organizational performance. The authors are globally renowned consultants and coaches who are experts in organizational behaviour and icons of Gestalt practice. They examine Gestalt from various perspectives: spirituality, neuroscience, experiential learning, use-of-self, personal presence, coaching, change, technology, leadership, and in villages and communities. Gestalt Practice demonstrates the broad applicability of Gestalt.

The book includes an extensive glossary of Gestalt terms that will be a valuable reference for students of Gestalt and Organisation Development, as well as for professors and practitioners.
