From Madness to Mozart - Brian O'Neill - Bog

The book presents a wide range of essays across three decades of work and writing as a gestalt therapist. The fields covered vary from current interventions in mental health services; working in couples and family therapy; child inclusive practice; domestic and family violence; substance misuse; working with trauma and war veterans; group work; working in court settings; communities; and management. With this spectrum of topics I stretch gestalt therapy theory and practice to incorporate areas such as spirituality; relativistic quantum physics; creativity; poetry; political science; supervision and ethics and our developmental journey from childhood to adulthood through to old age. This is a rich tapestry of threads interwoven into a multifaceted view of the application of gestalt therapy in the 21st century.
