ABSTRACT

The following is a transcription of a recorded session with a client who has been in long-term therapy with me. To this transcription I have added a commentary in which I have tried to give a flavor of the thinking processes of a Gestalt therapist “in action.” As a trainer of Gestalt therapists I think it most important that theory not remain the sole preserve of learned articles but be constantly integrated with and related to therapy in practice. I hope the following article contributes toward this goal.
