This book should be read by everyone treating trauma and I expect it to become a foundational text in our field. James Kepner, Gestalt therapist and international trainer in Gestalt Body Process Psychotherapy Taylor's book is a theoretically and clinically sophisticated approach to working with trauma from a phenomenological vantage point. Her book hadan immediate effect on my work. Lynne Jacobs, co-founder, Pacific Gestalt Institute, USA Destined to become a classic in Gestalt therapy literature. Well-written, insightful, compassionate, and practical, it will assist many a therapist. Malcolm Parlett, Visiting Professor of Gestalt Psychotherapy, University of Derby, UK (now retired) I am profoundly grateful to Miriam Taylor for writing this book. I just wish that she could have written it before 2002 when I began my own training in Gestalt psychotherapy. There is a section at the beginning called `Praise for this book' which includes very positive prepublication comments from Malcolm Parlett, James Kepner, and Lynne Jacobs. Now that I have read the book for myself, I find myself in agreement with their comments and want to add my own round of applause ... I consider that Taylor has made a major contribution to our field in taking this enterprise forward. British Gestalt Journal2014, Vol. 23, No. 2, 47-58 Taylor's remarkable contribution is a reminder that Gestalt Therapy Theory is alive and kicking and demonstrating how Gestalt can and should become the therapy of choice for trauma workers. Review published in Self and Society A major contribution to Gestalt therapy's growing catalogue of clinical literature. There is a lot to like about this book. It is well-researched, presented with clarity, and provides an excellent integration of the state of the art in relational Gestalt therapy theory and the breaking of new ground in Gestalt Therapy methodology in working with victims of trauma.
