Fritz Perls, a German psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and psychotherapist, is best known for coining the term “Gestalt therapy.” Alongside his wife, Laura Perls, he developed this form of psychotherapy in the 1940s and 1950s. Perls emphasized enhancing awareness of present moment experiences such as sensation, perception, emotion, and behavior in his therapy process. He was connected with the Esalen Institute in 1964, where he focused on the importance of relationships and contact between oneself, the environment, and others.
