Dorothy E. Siminovitch and Ann M. Van Eron. “The Pragmatics of Magic: The Work of Gestalt Coaching.” OD Practitioner 38, no. 1 (2006): 50-55.
“Gestalt coaching interventions explore and bring into awareness the complex and dynamic interplay between wants and needs, values and resistances. The client is able to see potentialities that a purely cognitive or rational point of view has obscured or pushed out of awareness, and new possibilities are opened. Further, the vibrant wisdom of sensations and experience are made accessible by paying attention to one’s own experience of learning and change effected through the Gestalt models of the COE and UOW.”
