By (author) Vikram Kolmannskog





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

This book explores the early father-child experience from an intimate, first-person perspective, through the lens of a gestalt therapist and his family. Describing and reflecting upon several of his own experiences, author Vikram Kolmannskog shares how the knowledge gained from gestalt therapy influences his parenting, and how his parenting experiences enrich his practice and understanding of gestalt therapy. Spanning a five-year time period from 2020 to 2025, which includes the first three years of his son Leo’s life, the book covers several different aspects of parenting: queer, emotional, conflicting, playful, and ecological. An important and unique addition to the growing body of work on fatherhood and queer parenting, this book will be of benefit to practitioners and researchers within the fields of gestalt psychotherapy, psychotherapy more generally, parenthood and early childhood. Parents and caregivers in all forms of families will also find this book of interest for the way that it approaches the topic of parenting.
