* As Yalom (1970, p. 450) pointed out with reference to the leadership style of Fritz Perls: "... Perls was so acutely aware of the necessity for each individual to assume responsibility for himself and his therapy. Much of Perls' modius operandi was, in fact. explicitly directed toward that end. Yet, beneath the technique, beneath the imperative to assume responsibility, the Gestalt therapist creates a bewildering paradox: on the one hand, he exhorts the patient to be, to act for himself, while, on the other hand, he says, through his leadership style: 'I will take charge, I will lead you. Depend on me to provide energy and ingenious techniques.'
