Finding Self Through Gestalt Therapy

Fritz Perls delivered "Finding Self Through Gestalt Therapy" as part of the Cooper Union Forum Lecture Series: "The Self" in New York City on March 6, 1957. (I was 2 years old and 3 days. -- dgb.) 


The talk includes many of the same ideas set forth in writing in Psychiatry in a New Key. We have here a taste of Fritz charming, boring, infuriating and amazing an audience as he continued to do throughout his life. Fortunately, the talk was transcribed including the long pauses and the question and answer contact between Fritz and his audience.
