ABSTRACT
In TS : please link Chps 2 & 3Chapters 2 and 3 I briefly set out the hallmarks of a Gestalt coaching approach. Many of the concepts and practices are the subject of full chapters later in the book. Twelve distinctive features are identified, including: the relational stance and dialogic method; creative experimentation and improvisation; practitioner presence and the intentional use of self; field and systems perspective; and the cornerstones of a Gestalt approach – the core focus on awareness raising and enhanced contact.
