Reviews
This is a rich and generous book, humane without being maudlin, instructive without being dull, clear without oversimplification. Zinker's discussion of the theory and practice of working with couples and families is itself an embodiment of good form. Both neophyte and seasoned professional will enlarge their appreciation of the beautiful drama of working with couples and families as a consequence of reading it. - Ira S. Rosenbaum, Ph.D., Walden University I've never heard a Gestalt therapist so clearly articulate aesthetic principles, while at the same time embedding these principles in concrete examples and practical suggestions. In Search of Good Form is extremely practical for practicing therapists, while also being philosophically interesting and original. - Ilene Serlin, Ph.D., Saybrook Institute Graduate School and Research Center In this age of 'managed' care, when therapy is being thought of more as a business than a profession, Zinker brings a fresh artistics perspective to couple and family therapy. Not only does he provide a useful, down-to-earth theoretical method, but he tells us how and when to intervent. - Joseph Melnick, Ph.D., Editor, Gestalt Review
