In Search of Good Form, the long awaited sequel to Joseph Zinker’s path-breaking and classic bestseller, Creative Process in Gestalt Therapy, is an exciting and practical guide to Gestalt work with couples and families.
“This is a rich and generous book. It is full of wisdom without being pushy, humane without being maudlin, instructive without being dull, clear without oversimplification. Zinker’s discussion of the theory and practice of working with couples and families is itself an embodiment of good form. Both neophytes and seasoned professional of whatever theoretical persuasion are likely to enlarge their appreciation for the beautiful drama of working with couples and families as a consequence of reading it.” – Irs S. Rosenbaum, Associate Professor of Psychology, Central Michigan University
