Fritz Perls (1893-1971) was a psychiatrist and, with his wife Laura Perls, the inventor of gestalt psychology.
He first mentioned Sigmund Freud in 1913, received his medical degree in 1925, and, while not a student of Freud, went through seven years of personal psychoanalysis: "Started seven years of useless couch life. Felt I was stupid. Finally, Wilhelm Reich, then still sane, made some sense. Also Karen Horney, whom I loved."[1]
