Queering Gestalt Therapy

This book provides essential insights into gender, sex, and relationship diversity within gestalt therapy, enhancing the practice for all involved.

This groundbreaking volume, Queering Gestalt Therapy, is the first peer-reviewed work of its kind, addressing a significant gap in the realm of gestalt therapy.

Queering Gestalt Therapy offers a rich collection of research and training materials centered around gender, sex, and relationship diversity (GSRD). The contributors, representing a wide spectrum of GSRD perspectives, provide insights and strategies for therapists seeking to enhance their sensitivity toward these crucial issues. The chapters delve into various topics, including the experiences of gender-radical clients, the complexities of sexuality, and the nuances of relationship diversity, all while integrating GSRD considerations into gestalt therapy practices.

This important text serves as an invitation for further exploration and dialogue within the gestalt community. It is designed for anyone interested in the intersections of gender, sex, and relationship diversity, particularly within the context of gestalt therapy. Queering Gestalt Therapy will be especially beneficial for therapists, supervisors, coaches, and students eager to expand their understanding and practice in a more inclusive manner.
