Using Fritz Perls as an example this book recalls the representatives of an urban avant-garde
culture who were driven out of Europe emigrated and for the most part found a new homeland in
the USA. Many an element of the lost avant-garde spirit later found its way back to Europe in
an enriched form. This monograph is the first to focus in greater depth on the German-European
roots of Gestalt therapy. It thereby bridges the continents at the same time.
