Edwin C. Nevis – Organizational Consulting – A Gestalt Approach

An approach to organizational consulting is presented in this classic text. He brings decades of experience to bear on the entire spectrum of concerns facing organizational consultants in a wide variety of settings.

The implications of Gestalt theory for such areas as organizational assessment, modes of influence in organizations, dealing with resistance, developing relationships, working at the boundary and the matter of the consultant’s presence began with the development of the Gestalt approach and the Cycle of Experience model. The conceptual framework provided in this work gives organizational consultants a powerful tool for understanding and influencing the behavior of organizations, and at the same time invites them to actively partake in the ongoing development of their individual styles.
