Fritz Perls
Coined the term Gestalt Therapy. I like him, he's more direct than Carl Rogers. Real no nonsense, in the here and now, experiential therapy. I think perhaps IEE on balance. In part due to what he says at 20 mins on the Gloria video (see below), about bringing something out that was hidden. I feel that this was done in a totally unsentimental Fi kind of way.

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
and you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
(Fritz Perls, "Gestalt Therapy Verbatim", 1969)
