Gestalt therapy
After reading an article by Goodman on Reich, Fritz and Lore Perls contacted Goodman and began a friendship that yielded the Gestalt therapy movement. Goodman wrote the theoretical chapter of their co-written "Gestalt Therapy" (1951). In the early 1950s, he continued with his psychoanalytic sessions and began his own occasional practice. He continued in this occupation through 1960, taking patients, running groups, and leading classes at the Gestalt Therapy Institutes.
