Enlightening Gestalt: Waking Up from the Nightmare

John Enright is one of the "first generation" of Gestalt therapists who worked and studied with Fritz for the last ten years of his life, during the middle and later years of the development of Gestalt Therapy. All along in this study he felt there was something about Gestalt that was different from the way it was usually understood and presented. This book is about that "something different". At its very heart, Gestalt is not a cure for problems in the real world, but a path to enlightenment; to seeing that the problems are not real, but illusions projected on the world. His view is refreshing, personal, occasionally humorous, and very practical. In addition to people professionally interested in Gestalt, people interested in their own processes of awareness and experience will find this book useful.
