In Gestalt Coaching, Peter Bluckert draws on thirty years of experience as an organization development consultant, executive coach and leadership trainer to present a unique perspective on how to become a better coach using Gestalt techniques.
This practical guide sets out an accessible yet critical examination of the Gestalt approach and its application to the executive coaching practice.
