Embodied Relational Gestalt: Theory and Applications

Comments Off on Embodied Relational Gestalt: Theory and Applications Embodied Relational Gestalt: Theory and Applications

“Considering various forms of the relational field, from which our experiences emerge, Michael Clemmens presents the concept of “forms of embodiment”, a very interesting and useful development of phenomenology of perception and Gestalt therapy. I feel grateful for his work that creates a solid basis for recent studies on therapist/client reciprocity in aesthetic terms, like the “Aesthetic Relational Knowledge” and the “Dance Steps”. This book and the unique perspective expressed by all chapter authors stand as a fresh description of clinical situations which you cannot help but use.”
