About the Author
Miriam Polster earned her PhD is clinical psychology in 1967 and was trained by the pioneers in Gestalt therapy, whose approach is to enable the client to become more fully and creatively alive, and free from the blocks and unfinished issues which may diminish optimum satisfaction, fulfillment, and growth. Growth occurs through gradual assimilation of experience in a natural way, rather than by accepting the interpretations of the analyst; thus, the therapist should not interpret, but lead the client to discover for him or herself. Miriam was an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at University of California San Diego School of Medicine. She also co-founded and co-directed the Gestalt Training Center in San Diego with her husband, Erving. Their individual and joint service to psychotherapy was honored at an international gathering of their peers and Miriam Polster was awarded congressional recognition for her outstanding and invaluable contribution to her field.
