Gestalt psychology and Gestalt therapy.

[This paper was a presidential address to Division 24 at the meeting of the American Psychological Association, Chicago, September 1975. It was first published in the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences 14, pp 23-32, then republished in M. Henle, 1879 and All That, Essays in the Theory and History of Psychology, Columbia University Press, New York 1986, pp 22-35. Have a look at the Behavior Online Forum where a critical discussion on this topic was led and to the Archives of the Gestalt Journal, New York, where some articles of Gestalt therapists replying to Henle's critical remarks can be read. ]
