The Best in Psychology: Fritz Perls

From children, we have admired certain persons for very diverse reasons. And when we grow, the admiration is related with a more wide spectrum of things, like the politic, ideology, contributions to the society, etc.

I think, that the best in the field of the Psyhology is Fritz Perls. Perls, is a very known person because he is de founder (or co-founder, because his wife Laura Perls and other colleagues were founders too) of Gestalt Therapy. It`s important to say that Perls wasn`t a psychologist, at the begining of his profesional life, he studies Medicine and works as a neuropsychiatrist, then he was interested for the psychoanalysis, existential phenomenology, holism. This is one of the reasons that do that I like him, because in the Gestalt Therapy he incoporated so many sources of knowledge. Another reason, is the fact that by himself made films at work, with the aim of show the work of the psychotherapists for public scrutiny (on the contrary of what psychoanalysis has done, always between four walls). He is the best because based in him, in his aproaches it`s possible help to the human being to “seeks the unique creative resolution, of this unique situation, for this unique person, in this relation-ship, in this field, at this moment in time”.

Some of his books are:

“Ego, Hunger and Agression”,
"Gestalt Therapy",
“Gestalt Therapy Verbatim” and,
“In and Out of the Garbage Pail”.
