Yet Goodman saw himself primarily as an artist rather than a political thinker or sociologist, and many of his books, even during the 1960s, were works of poetry, drama, and fiction. He had also practiced as a psychotherapist and joined with Frederick Perls and Ralph Hefferline in producing a new synthesis in psychological thought, Gestalt therapy, which has since become an international movement. In an age of specialization, few writers have taken on so broad a range of concerns. Crazy Hope and Finite Experience is a final summing up of the thought and life of this self-described "old-fashioned man of letters." This book brings together for the first time five personal essays, all written near the end of his life, in which Goodman discusses his sense of the world and how he was "in" it, his politics, his spiritual and religious attitude, his sexuality, and his calling as a literary artist. For those already familiar with one or another aspect of his work, Goodman's self-assessment will provide new insight into the credo that underlies his whole career. For those learning about him for the first time, it offers a vivid sense of the man and his perspective. And for psychotherapists - especially Gestalt therapists - the book will fill in the picture of Goodman as a theorist whose work was crucial to the development of a new approach to therapy. 000463773 60010 $$aGoodman, Paul,$$d1911-1972. 000463773 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern. 000463773 7001_ $$aStoehr, Taylor,$$d1931-2013. 000463773 74001 $$aCrazy hope & finite experience. 000463773 830_0 $$aGestalt Institute of Cleveland publication. 000463773 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3513.O527$$iC73$$i1994 000463773 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:463773$$pGLOBAL_SET 000463773 980__ $$aBIB 000463773 980__ $$aBOOK
