The Gestalt approach is particularly known for its broad spectrum of therapeutic interventions,including artistic materials and methods from the fine and performing arts. Creativity is a significantcriterion for health, well-being and intelligence. It reflects the ability to find new solutions andpromotes the flexibility required to adjust productively during critical life events. Gestalt therapyemploys the term creative adjustment to emphasize the importance of this ability for personal andprofessional growth. The book focuses on the fruitful interchange between theoretical guidelines and professional practice.A strong emphasis lies on the historical and philosophical foundations of this topic, on clinicalpractice and case studies, and on various fields of applications (neuroscience, developmentalpsychology). A solid representation of American and European theoreticians bridges a dividebetween continents and reflects the productive discourse amoung schools and streams of Gestalttherapy.

"... Es gab bereits vor diesem Buch viele Beitrage von verschiedenen GestalttherapeutInnen zum Thema Kreativitat (siehe dazu auch eine Ubersicht von N. Amendt-Lyon: Kunst und Kreativitat in der Gestalttherapie in: Handbuch der Gestalttherapie), allerdings kein Forum, wo der Prozess der Theoriebildung und Konzeptualisierung Raum erhalt, um Anstoss zu Reflexion des bisherigen Status und einer weiterfuhrenden Diskussion zu sein ... Die praxisnahmen Beitrage veranschaulichen therapeutische Momente in Bezug zum theoretischen Hintergrund und geben Einblick in das weite Spektrum der Praxis. Diese verfolgen therapeutische Prozesse im Einzelsetting Erwachsener und Kinder wie auch gruppentherapeutischer Moglichkeiten ... liegt hier ein Buch vor, das die Muhe des Durcharbeitens vielfach lohnt ..."
