Frederick “Fritz” Perls (1893…1970)
Fritz Perls was born in Berlin; studied at the University of Freiburg; and obtained his Ph。D。 at the
University of Berlin。 In 1926; he became Kurt Goldstein’s assistant at the Institute for Brain…
Injured Soldiers; where he developed the notion of “gestalt;” or integrative wholes。 He then
studied psychoanalysis; being analyzed by such luminaries as Wilhelm Reich; Karen Horney; and
Otto Fenichel。 Perls left Germany in 1933; shortly after Hitler’s rise to power; spent the next
decade in Holland and; in 1946; came to the United States; where he established the New York
Institute for Gestalt Therapy。 Although accepting the importance of unconscious conflicts; Perls
believed it was necessary to deal with the present; rather than dwelling exclusively on the past。
The basic philosophy and practice of Gestalt therapy is described in his book Gestalt Therapy
Verbatim (1969)。
Joseph Wolpe (b。 1915)
Joseph Wolpe was born in South Africa。 He developed interests in chemistry as a teen; and
would channel this passion into medical school training; earning his M。D。 in 1948 at the
University of Witwatersand。 He worked as a lecturer in psychiatry for the next ten years。 After
being increasingly dissatisfied with Freudian psychoanalysis; Wolpe turned to the empirical
works of Ivan Pavlov; with which he had bee familiar as a medical student
During the late 1940s; influenced by the theories and research of Clark Hull; Wolpe conducted
experiments on “reciprocal inhibition;” in which cats were “cured” of experimentally induced
neuroses。 Based on these findings; Wolpe developed a therapeutic practice; resulting in the
publication of the classic book Psychotherapy by Reciprocal Inhibition (1958)。 In 1960; he came to the
United States; establishing himself as the foremost proponent of behavior therapy。
