Archive : Edwin C. Nevis – Organizational Consulting – A Gestalt Approach

Edwin C. Nevis, a pioneering organizational consultant, outlines an approach to organizational consulting based on Gestalt theory in this classic publication. Nevis applies his well-known insight, conceptual clarity, and decades of expertise to the whole range of issues confronting organizational consultants in a variety of situations.

Nevis traces the implications of Gestalt theory for areas such as organizational assessment, modes of influence in organizations, dealing with resistance, developing relationships, working at the boundary, and the issue of the consultant’s presence, beginning with the development of the Gestalt approach and the “Cycle of Experience” model. The conceptual framework presented in this ground-breaking book provides organizational consultants with a strong instrument for analyzing and influencing organizational behavior while also inviting them to actively participate in the continuous development of their own individual styles.
