Rezensionen

"A labour of love, quite simply. I have to go out and howl at the moon."-Ellen Koyote Millar, artist and Gestalt therapy student





"Some have compared Kolmannskog to Irvin D. Yalom, and this is justified in several ways. The ability to make therapy alive to the ordinary reader is one of them."-Deichman's Literature Blog (Oslo Public Library)

"When I read The empty chair there are three words that keep coming to me: humility, respect and care. This book gives readers not only an explanation, but also an experience of what Gestalt therapy is."-Norwegian Gestalt Journal

"I gladly recommend this book to both inquisitive laymen such as myself, but also to those of you who work with people in this way. I began to understand how a Gestalt therapist works and have gained great respect for the way they carry out their profession."-Tine Sundal, one of Norway's most popular book bloggers

"For me as a therapist it is both entertaining and educational reading."-Jens Fossum, Gestalt therapist and blogger

"The book raises Gestalt writing to a whole new level. The case studies unfold like a succession of gripping short stories. The commentaries provide contrast and balance. The thinking is contemporary and lucid. Kolmannskog is inspiring, well-informed, and a sheer pleasure to read."-Malcolm Parlett, Author of FUTURE SENSE: Five Explorations of Whole Intelligence for a World That's Waking Up
