ABSTRACT
It is a book that will be useful to a broad range of readers: people who have never been exposed to the Gestalt approach as well as those who practice and teach from this perspective and method.
The framework of the book is very simple: it is built around stories about efforts to solve a social problem or alleviate a condition causing significant difficulty in the lives of many people. It is a collection of cases written by seasoned Gestalt practitioners. We have chosen to get our message across by presenting actual examples of their work. After discussing the origins of the Gestalt approach as it relates to social change, we will briefly present some theory that will help you understand the conceptual context that forms the underpinnings of each case. At the same time, we believe that the cases will serve as examples of the utility of our model for social change.
