Fritz Perls completed the first draft of this manuscript shortly before his death. The editor has been careful to make minimal changes. Fritz felt his previous books on theory were outdated, difficult to read, and incomplete. In The Gestalt Approach he has succeeded in writing a readable comprehensive theory explaining gestalt therapy.

Fritz Perls believed a study of his films was the best way to learn gestalt therapy. The title, Eye Witness to Therapy, is his. Each film contains an introduction by Fritz. The transcripts are very readable and often poignant.
