Podcast HT028 – Gestalt Therapy

Speaker: Jon Frew, Ph.D., ABPP, is in private practice in Vancouver, Washington, and is a Professor at Pacific University School of Professional Psychology. He completed the three-year Post Graduate Training Program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland in 1981. He has conducted workshops and led training groups in the United States, Canada, and Australia. He is the author of numerous articles on Gestalt therapy, theory, and practice, and is on the editorial board of the journal Gestalt Review.

Among other things, Rebecca Daniel-Burke asks the following questions:

Is there a story about how you became a Gestalt therapist? What excites you about Gestalt therapy at this point in your career?
When and how did Gestalt therapy get started and how has it evolved since then?
What are some of the fundamental concepts central to Gestalt therapy that distinguish it from other counseling orientations?
Are there other key elements that define the theory and practice?
I have not heard anything about techniques such as the "hot seat," "two chair work" or slogans like "get out of your head" or "you do your thing, I’ll do mine."
Gestalt therapy is also known for its emphasis on the present, the "here and now." Do gestalt therapists attend to the past?
How important is the client-counselor relationship in Gestalt therapy?
The clients of the 2010s are different from those of the 1940s and 1950s when Gestalt therapy originated. Can gestalt therapy be effective with clients in our increasingly diverse world?
Do Gestalt therapists do research to evaluate the effectiveness of the approach?
Where can our listeners learn more about training opportunities and Gestalt therapy resources?

Podcast HT007 – Carl Rogers, the Person-Centered Approach

Speaker: Dr. Howard Kirschenbaum is the author of The Life and Work of Carl Rogers. He is Professor Emeritus and former chair of Counseling and Human Development at the Warner Graduate School of Education at the University of Rochester, in New York. Dr. Kirschenbaum is the author of more than 20 books on education, counseling, and history. He is a recognized expert on Carl Rogers, having written the earlier biography On Becoming Carl Rogers; he was also co-editor of the Carl Rogers Reader and Carl Rogers Dialogues, and the writer and producer of the DVD Carl Rogers and the Person-centered Approach. But probably even more important is the fact that Dr. Kirschenbaum was a respected, and trusted colleague of Carl Rogers..

Among other things, Rebecca Daniel-Burke asks the following questions:

Didn't you write what was considered the definitive biography of Carl Rogers 30 years ago? What is different about this one?
How has Rogers' work--the person-centered approach to counseling and psychotherapy--been faring in the U.S. and around the world in recent years?
Were you surprised by anything you learned about Rogers personally in writing the new biography?
What has more recent research on counseling and psychotherapy revealed about the effectiveness of the person-centered approach?
