Remembering Erv Polster, Part 1 of 2
GTILA presents: “Remembering Erv Polster: Sneaky Genius” w/ Lynne Jacobs

Join us on October 20th as Lynne Jacobs engages with the GTILA community in an enriching two-part salon series dedicated to the legacy of Erv Polster. Experience a heartfelt conversation exploring the profound impact Erv had on one of the foremost voices in Gestalt Therapy. Lynne reflects on their spirited discourses surrounding the nuances of theory and practice, which were not only enjoyable but also deeply enlightening.

“We used love to argue with each other about the theory and practice of gestalt therapy. That was always fun and enriching. Meanwhile, I was learning from him about the superlative joys of small moments.” – Lynne Jacobs
