Statement: Gestalt Therapy has always always had a stong appeal to me because of its emphasis on a fundamental truth: each of us is composed of a complex combination of different personality components. Many of the difficulties people have in living their lives stem from unresolved conflicts among these components. To lead a satisfying and productive life it is important that these components be mutually aware of each other and that they develop cooperation . Of the many approaches to psychological healing that I have come to know about, Gestalt Therapy is the most powerful and useful for promoting this kind of integration.

Training in Gestalt Practice: I am a graduate of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland intensive training program, 1980-81. In this program I studied with Joseph Zinker, Isadore From, Sonia Nevis, Renie Fantz and others. I also graduated from the Gestalt Institue of Cleveland's special training program on working with intimate systems, 1982-83. This program was taught by Sonia Nevis and Joseph Zinker. Related Training and Experience: My first experience with Gestalt therapy took place in a workshop led by Joseph Zinker at Cambridge House, Milwaukee, WI in July, 1976. The workshop had a profound effect on me. In the following four years I took several more weekend workshops with Joseph Zinker at Cambridge House, and then entered the training program at GIC. I also participated in a four-day workshop with Erv and Miriam Polster at GIC. In 1995 I was trained in the technique of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and since then have integrated this technique into my work as a gestalt therapist. I find it to be a valuable adjunct, particularly in trauma resolution. Statement: I have practiced psychotherapy for thirty four years, working with clients who are facing life crises and who are seeking greater self-realization. My special expertise is in working with people who are in need of resolving the emotional aftermath of growing up in dysfunctional families. In addition to my Gestalt training, my work is informed by my personal psychotherapy with Carl Whitaker and my own experience of growing up with a mentally ill mother. I have also taught psychology at three universities, including the psychology of women, and conducted numerous workshops on dreams. Ira Z.

Related Training and Experience: Intensive Training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, 2000; many Advanced Trainings in DBT. Thirty two years experience in several forms of meditation practice, many years of martial arts practice, most recently Aikido, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Statement: RECLAIMING ENERGY, EQUILIBRIUM, AND CREATIVITY: In my experience, the pain and distress that bring people to therapy is rooted in a sense of separation from the flow of life around and within us. This appears in many emotional forms such as depression, anxiety, and anger, with consequences in relationships, work, and health. The task of therapy then, is to recover and enliven our direct experience of life in the moment. In this process, we become aware of what has interrupted that flow, often assumptions and beliefs about life and ourselves that can be reconsidered or changed. As we make peace with our experience, we are free to make new choices and participate in the flow of life with equilibrium and creativity. I am active and engaged as a therapist. Many of the difficulties that bring one to therapy have interpersonal origins and must be addressed interpersonally. The therapy session is thus a place for exploration, respectful engagement, and experimentation. Not always easy or comfortable, but lively and rewarding. J.
