Beskrivning
Exploring Masculinity, Sexuality, and Culture in Gestalt Therapy is an invitation to explore social and political issues within the psychotherapeutic framework. It describes and analyses the author’s journey of becoming a gestalt therapist in Poland and England through analyses of masculinity, sexuality, relationality, and culture.This book addresses the collective gestalts exploring the psychotherapeutic taboos of sexual transference, same-sex attraction, use or lack of touch, gender equality, and inter-cultural conflicts. Each chapter is an exploration of prejudices embedded in our cultures and therapeutic work, and provides a theoretical challenge to current practices within gestalt therapy and beyond. The author advocates for a more collective understanding of embodied sensations emerging in the therapeutic context as collective gestalts. Through the use of autoethnographic research methodology, this book shows how personal embodied experiences are intertwined with the social, political, and material context. It is essential reading for gestalt therapists, as well as readers interested in gestalt approaches.

Recensioner i media

I think the book is an important, creative, thoughtful contribution to gestalt therapy research and practice... Adam’s ability to intermingle history/culture/politics with specific moments-in-living is rare... He expands our boundaries of inclusiveness.Lynne Jacobs, Ph.D., Co-founder of Pacific Gestalt Institute; Training and Supervising Analyst, Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis The use of Autoethnography to explore, interrogate and challenge aspects of therapy culture is always welcome. Adam does this in fascinating, courageous and engaging ways in this text... The Gestalt community should rejoice!Alec Grant, PhD, Independent Scholar; co-editor of Contemporary British Autoethnography, and International Perspectives on Autoethnographic Research and Practice You have in front of you a landmark book that deserves attention on many different counts. From the foreword by Malcolm Parlet, PhD, the author of Future Sense
