Bob Harman's first contributions to professional journals, "Goals of Gestalt Therapy" and "Techniques of Gestalt Therapy" were published in PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGY in 1974. This volume includes all Harman's articles that appeared since in the pages of THE GESTALT JOURNAL over its thirty year history. The final contribution, "Gestalt Therapy in the 21st Century," was his invited opening talk at a special gathering of Gestalt therapists honoring Erving Poster's and Miriam Polster's lifelong commitment to the development and growth of Gestalt therapy. Harman was an appropriate choice to open the conference honoring the Polsters. His professional approach is similar to theirs with a focus that is always more on the clinical applications of Gestalt therapy rather than on its theoretical formulations. While not ignoring the theory, the center of Bob's attention is always on the client rather than on the canon. That focus is reflected in these articles stories (some prefer the term 'case studies') of clients appear in almost all."
