Serge Ginger was Founder of the Paris School of Gestalt (EPG), President of the International Federation of Gestalt Training Organizations (FORGE), Secretary General of the French National Umbrella for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (FF2P), and Registrar at the EAP (European Association for Psychotherapy). He was in charge of the control and registration of National Umbrellas, European Associations, Accreditation of Training institutes, and ECPs (European Certificates of Psychotherapy). He is the author of various books, including two about Gestalt Therapy, which have been translated into twelve languages.
From the Foreword:
"'This book is not just a practical handbook; it is also the fruit
of two exceptional people's experience: Serge and Anne Ginger. It
reflects their long international experience in several methods
such as psychoanalysis, psychodrama, Gestalt Therapy--which is
highly indebted to them--and EMDR.
This guide comes at a time when, in France and several other
European countries, new rules and regulations for the practice of
psychotherapy are starting to appear. It's a practical vade mecum
for the beginner psychotherapist, but is also an invitation to his
experienced colleagues, to share profound reflections stemming from
their long-standing careers as psychotherapists and trainers.
I hope that this work will be as successful as it deserves to be
[in making] these insights and pieces of advice accessible not only
to all young practitioners, but also to more experienced ones. It
will be especially useful for psychotherapy training
institutes."--Mony Elkaim, Chairman
