The purpose of this bibliography is to provide the reader with resources to explore the relationship between Gestalt therapy and Eastern philosophies. Items are included only if they contain explicit reference to this relationship and describe it. For the reader's convenience, attempts have been made to classify the material in a way that reflects the significance of the item with regard to its discussion of the relationship. The bibliography begins with those items that are considered primary, followed by reference considered secondary and tertiary in nature. The annotations are meant to summarize the content of the article, chapter, or book, without distorting the original author's intent. The bibliography contains 52 items. These included books (12), chapters (21), and journal articles (19) published in English during 1947 to 1979. Dissertations, theses, and unpublished material have not been included.
