Isadore From: Retelling the Story

Isadore From was a founding member and Fellow of the New York Institute For Gestalt Therapy for over forty years. He conducted training seminars throughout the United States and Europe and was importantly responsible for training many of our leading Gestalt Therapists. In so doing he made a unique contribution, especially through his emphasis on the theory of Gestalt Therapy as presented in "Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality." (Perls, Hefferline and Goodman). He fostered an attitude of scholarship and sharp attention to detail in language and practice, and in his wit, charm and grace illuminated the theory, practice and spirit of Gestalt Therapy.
