ABSTRACT:
Reprint of 1995 article in "Gestalt Theory - An International Multidisciplinary Journal":
A detailed critique of how Grawe et al. (1994) are viewing the future of psychotherapy, attacking the current influence of its main protagonist with sharp-witted polemics, is followed by a rather brief summary of how Pieringer (1994) views the future of psychotherapeutic theory and practice. In the last chapter the concept of Pieringer turns out to be the inspiring structural ground for the author's discussion of the quest for an adequate order of practice in psychotherapy research and application.
