A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Stephen Schoen is a graduate of Harvard College in English history and taught literature at George Washington University before obtaining his medical degree at Howard University in 1954. He received his psychiatric training from Harry Stack Sullivan, Frederick Perls, Gregory Bateson, and Milton Erickson. His interest in the spiritual values of psychotherapy led to his giving seminars at the Esalen Institute, The C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, the Naropa Institute, and the Gestalt Institute Koln. A former president of the Gestalt Institute of San Francisco, he has been a training member since 1970. He maintains a private practice in San Rafael, California.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Through the voices of William Blake, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka, Martin Buber, Lao-Tzu, Gregory Bateson, and Jiddu Krishnamurti and his own commentary on their texts, Schoen explores values in psychotherapy and the values of meaning in life. In the final chapter Dr. Schoen, a psychiatrist in private practice and former president of the Gestalt Institute of San Francisco, discusses terms, "Contextual Therapy," and outlines a new paradigm of therapy. Schoen goes beyond the Transpersonal and the existential, and asks readers to explore their own values by exploring the values and world views of these great thinkers, poets, and story tellers.
