STUDIES IN GESTALT THERAPY Issue no. 3, 1995
Indice: - Editorial
by Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb & Giovanni Salonia
-In Remembrance of Isadore: His Earlier Years
by Hunt Cole I lived with Isadore from the mid-October day when I first carne to Paris in 1959 to the hot June day he died in New York in 1994, but this piece ends in the earlier place at that earlier time, I shall finish my story in time for the next international edition of this journal.
-Hopes and Concerns of Two Friends: An Interview with Joe Wysong
by Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb I agree with Isadore and am also especially interested in studying the influence of pragmatism on Gestalt therapy theory. Few in Gestalt therapy recognize the extent of the effect on Paul Goodman of the thinking of American pragmatists William James, John Dewey, and, to a more limited extent, C.S. Pierce.
- The Strength of Weakness
by Giovanni Salonia In order to overcome pain we must have the courage and the purity to live through it without pointless pretence. Isadore was not afraid of reality, however fragile, however hard. We shall do well to take him with us on our voyage into the third millennium.
-Elegiac Reflections on Isadore From
by Michael Vincent Miller If I were forced to try to capture the essence of Isadore's sensibility in a word, I would choose the word
-From Daughter to Mother
by Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb His theory was not just theory: it was experience too... Isadore's example is a reference point where male and female elements bring each other to perfect completeness.
-The Rationale in Verse
by Ruggero Bianchi Forms, were for him the root and substance of all attitudes and behaviour, but not in the sense of rules; rather as an expression of interior freedom and integrity.
-Glance and Voice
by Mia Peluso Like Socrates, Isadore had the quality of dry humour. His apparent meekness concealed vast knowledge; in this respect too he was a prince, accustomed to giving.
-A Translator’s Diary
by Bianca Tarozzi What he admires is the unconsoling intellect: that was why he deeply respected Goodman and was distrustful of Perls (- scoundrel with genius-). His intelligence is of the heart.
-The Word that Spoke Gestalt is Silent Now
by NOËL K. SALATHÉ Just as Paul Goodman was Aristotelian in his pronouncements, in his meticulous but not readily approachable writings, to the same degree Isadore From was Socratic in passing on this difficult teaching.
-Re-reading "Requiem for Gestalt"
by Antonio Sichera We reprint here a paper by Isadore From, published in the Gestalt Journal/ Spring 1984/ with an -exegetical- comment by Antonio Sichera.
