Abstract:

"ABSTRACT The two fundamental elements of Gestalt theory - Gestalt's 'metapsychology' - are, first, the assertion that all human behaviour may be understood in terms of figure formation and destruction and, second, the identification of the self with those parts of the figure formation /destruction process involving contact. The Gestalt self, then, is contact. This concept of the self derives from Gestalt's existential refusal to countenance division between mind, body and world, and is, therefore, essential to Gestalt therapy's holistic and relational nature. This argument is based on an interpretation of Paul Goodman's second volume of Gestalt Therapy:Excitement andGrowth in the Human Personality (195 I), which Fritz Perls' later theory of the ""five layers of neurosis"" contradicts by implying a 'core' rather than a contact self. In one way or another, the Polsters, Lamer, Hycner, Friedman, Tobin, and Yontef all also undermine or distort 'self as contact' and, therefore, in some sense weaken Gestalt's holistic and relational stance, a stance essential to Gestalt therapy's continuing integrity. Key words: Self, contact, figure formation, Gestalt therapy, relational Gestalt, Goodman, Perls, Lamer, Yontef."

"Editor's Note: The British Gesdt Journal is pIeased to publish the follawing intewiew with Lynne Jacobs, who kribes herself as a 'Gestalt analyst'. Lynne Jacobs teaches, writes, and studies both Gestalt therapy and psychoanalysis. Lynne, who acknowledges she 'loves living in both worlds' is co-founder, with Gary Yontef, of the Gestalt Therapy Institute of the Pacific and is also a training and supervising analyst at the Institure of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. In this interview, she describes, the development of her twin career, her passionate interest in 'relational themes', the lids with intersubjectivity and object relations theorists, and her interest in working to explore character structure. Redefining msference, and also the traditional GestaIt %interruptions to contact', she concludes the interview with acknowledging how important it can be to 'make mistakes'. We are grateful to Jenny Mackewn, for her perceptive questioning and for her framing of an outstanding interview with one of Gestalt's contemporary leading thinkers."

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism universes, based on a conceptual analysis for contributing to Gestalt-therapy theoretical development. Gestalt model has been adopted as investigation methodology using the creation and destruction figures (gestalten). Initially it was determined Perls as the start up reference or initial figure, due to his interest in Zen-Buddhism. The analysis of his collected works and auto-biography has defined his contact with Buddhism and, as consequence, its reverberation in Gestalt-therapy creation. Within Gestalt-therapy theoretical content, some concepts are related to Zen and others illustrate a close interaction, as the awareness flow/continuum awareness and meditation. Both Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism have been investigated on the human being conceptual analysis perspective, as well as self, I, here and now, temporality, addressing their similarities and differences. Situations captured from Gestalt-Therapy clinical practice, stories and Zen-Buddhism mondos have contributed for the understanding of concepts presented in this study. This relationship establishment has allowed the identification of main articulation structures between Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism, pointing out the fundamental topics that differentiate their identities

"Interviewer's Note: Joseph Zinker trained with Fritz Perls and worked alongside Abraham Maslow. Besides being a leading exponent of Gestalt therapy, he is a bridge to its earliest roots. Joseph Zinker's seminal work Creative Process in Gestalt Therapy (Zhker, 19781, pmkayed an approach to Gestalt - which though clifiidly aware and gracefully therapeutic - was as much a celebration of life md an expression of being Interestingly, hs work c~iond the 'art and aesthetics of Gestalt' at a time when the 'science of Gestalt', social acceptability and accreditation were tending to preoccupy the Gestalt community. PhilosophicalZy, he emphasises Gestalt as a way of life, while looking to its transpersonal and transcendent qualities. His influence beyond the GestaEt community is eviden~ed in an earlier interview in the BGJ with Robin Skynner (Hemming, 1995)' a founding member of the Institute of Family Therapy and the Znstitute of Group Analysis, who cited how much he appreciated Joseph Zinker's clarity of approach and thinking around resistance (as portrayed in ln Search of Good Fom (Zinkes, 1994))."

Abstract:

Music Therapy is an autonomous and hybrid area arising from the relation between the knowledge and the practices of arts and health fields. Because of this hybridism, it bases some of its knowledge on other disciplines and other practices such as psychotherapies and, amongst them, Gestalt therapy. The research aims to investigate relations between Music therapy and Gestalt Therapy in order to reflect about a Gestalt Music Therapy. It is an exploratory research, developed as a systematic and unsystematic bibliographical survey, as well as with theoretical and political propositions. The literature shows that although there are works in this direction, the proposal of a Gestalt Music Therapy is still little explored, especially in Brazil, and it seems that there is still little opening for professionals Music therapists to seek specific training in Gestalt therapy.

Abstract:

Abstract This article gives an overview of the Gestalt therapy movement in Brazil, highlighting its special features and characteristics, through comparison of the author's experiences with Gestalt therapy in Brazil and abroad. Attention to group process, the emphasis on the study of Gestalt therapy's philosophical and epistemological foundations, attention to the individual-environment field and sociocultural and economic factors, and community oriented mental health services, as well as the Brazilian style of contact and other cultural differences, are pointed out as a valuable intrinsic part of Gestalt therapy work in Brazil. Furthermore, considering the questionings and transformations that the Gestalt therapy community have had worldwide in the 1980s and 1990s, the author compares Gestalt therapy of yesterday and today, considering gains and losses, and envisioning the future of Gestalt therapy, reflects on some of the challenges she perceives as common to us all.

Abstract:

"Abstract: Couples therapy is often described as a more active, or even as a more directive form of psychotherapy, and is frequently written about with a focus on technique. This paper argues that Gestalt therapists can work with couples dynamically while remaining collaborative and dialogic in their approach. Four foundational theoretical assumptions are discussed and subsequently connected to four aspects of their application to couples therapy. In particular, the Buberian dialogic method is offered as the heart of Gestalt couples therapy, and various clinical vignettes are presented to illustrate Gestalt work with couples. Keywords: couples therapy, relational Gestalt therapy, field perspective, field conditions, perspectivalism, dialogic method, experimental attitude, experience-near psychotherapy."

Abstract:

"Abstract: Personality development can be conceived in terms of strengthening one's self-functions and of changing dysfundional habits and patterns of life. Quite another view of personality development is to explore the deeper meanings and ultimate questions of life and to expand and transcend our egoic consciousness. I see the challenge, for today Gestalt therapy in this conflict between change, on the one hand, and tramformation on the other hand, as a professional as well as a political matter. It would help to live this basic conflict creatively if we concentrated our energies (1) on further elaborating the philosophy and epistemology of Gestalt therapy; (2) its theoretical perspectives on human development, health and disease as well as process diagnostics; and (3) on investigating the training concepts for GestaIt therapists for their explicit and implicit learning theories. Key words: epistemology, personality development, change, transformation, spirituality, self-transcendence, learning theory."

Full text

Abstract:

"Abstract: The Gestalt model inherently incorporates an understanding of shame dynamics in its analysis of contact processes. Shame is a field variable, a ground condition modulating the contact shame-support polarity, when functioning optimally, allows the person to be at the edge and to venture beyond oId organisations of the field - i.e. to grow. Conversely, with severe or persistent lack of support (e.g., severe or sustained abuse, neglect, or loss}, shame becomes internalised and integrated into basic beliefs about the 'self' and the possibilities of contact with others. These fixed gestalts (Perls' introjects) which have been learned in a particular field then become blueprints with which to interpret experience and guide behaviour in general, restricting flexibility. Restoring flexibility means facing the shame that holds the fixed gestalts in place. This can only happen in the context of a relationship. One of the chief processes of therapy then becomes supporting awareness of shame in the present field, between therapist and client. Keywords: Gestalt, Gestalt therapy, Field theory, shame, support, contact processes, shame bind, introject, figure and ground."

Full text

Abstract:

"Abstract: The GTFS is a 21-item measure developed by Fogarty et al. (2015, 2016, 2019) in order to measure therapist behaviours representative of Gestalt therapy (GT). The scale itself was developed as a step towards achieving evidence-based practice. It is essential that the scale can demonstrate its scientific robustness and hold up against thorough critique. The current paper offers a comprehensive critique of the scale, from the use of a fidelity scale in GT, to the scale’s initial development as well as the structure and utility of the scale. Herein a number of problems are identified and discussed, undermining the scale’s validity and reliability. For instance, theoretical inconsistency can be identified between the fidelity scale and the philosophical underpinning of GT coupled with a lack of rigour in the scientific process leading to the general nature of items. Although some validity analyses show promise for the scale, these have been performed in the absence of determining the soundness of the scale’s internal structure. Such a critique has great importance, considering the GTFS has the potential to influence future Gestalt research, therapy and supervision. Recommendations are made in order to proceed with the aim of establishing GT as an evidence-based practice. Keywords: Gestalt Therapy Fidelity Scale (GTFS), critique, scale development, evidence- based practice."

Abstract:

"Abstract: Perls, Hefferline and Goodman’s Gestalt Therapy (1951/1972, hereafter PHG) describes two ‘twists’ in being. The first occurs when the organism, appreciating its vulnerability, resolves to defend itself by constructing with others a familiar and foreseeable world. To understand this twist depends on understanding PHG’s take on the organism’s existential dilemma. The second twist is when the organism acts to move beyond its defensive posture and open to what is strange and different in the world. To understand this twist depends on understanding what PHG means by ‘spontaneity’. Translating the concepts and theories surrounding these twists into forms of Gestalt practice requires action that deconstructs familiar perspectives in order to open the practitioner more fully to the world. Key words: ambiguity, Gestalt Therapy, organisation development, contact, experience, practice."

Abstract:

"Abstract: This paper discusses the compatibility of Martin Buber’s dialogic method and active Gestalt therapy interventions, which are called experiments. The authors trace a brief history of the distinction between different psychotherapy systems which focus on the therapeutic relationship on the one hand or on active behavioural interventions on the other. They submit Gestalt therapy as a modality that integrates these seeming polarities, and they discuss the theoretical and practical consistency between the dialogic method, Gestalt therapy’s change theory (‘the paradoxical theory of change’), the phenomenological method, and Gestalt therapy experiments. It is the authors’ opinion that Gestalt therapy experiments do not aim for preset behavioural goals, but that they are in complete alignment with Gestalt therapy’s dialogic attitude. A definition of the term Gestalt therapy experiment is given, and its different uses are illustrated. The concept of resistance is examined in light of Gestalt therapy’s treatment philosophy. Indications as well as cautions regarding the use of Gestalt therapy experiments are outlined and different types of experiments, including specific examples, are provided. Key words: Gestalt therapy, dialogic method, experiments, paradoxical theory of change, contact, awareness."

Abstract:

The matter of whether the Gestalt-Therapy and Person Centered Approach are phenomenological approaches is controversial in the contemporary scenario of humanistic psychology in Brazil. In 1991, Luis Claudio Figueiredo published a book about the main stream psychological thoughts, in which both approaches are considered not phenomenological. This article intends to make a contribution to this discussion by establishing a dialog between the Person Centered Approach and Gestalt- Therapy with the psychological main streams as conceived by the author.

Abstract: Anti-Black racism is an interruption of contact that often takes place out of awareness, and is continuously enacted through innumerable fixed gestalts at every level of human experience. Gestalt therapy as a movement does not leverage its great potential for undoing fixed gestalts of anti-Black racism, or supporting fluid gestalts of racial liberation; this article explores GT theories and practices that do so. I first discuss how concepts of the field, ground, awareness, consciousness, and contact can be informed by ideas such as intersectionality and double consciousness from Black liberation history as well as theorists such as Crenshaw, DuBois, Fanon, Freire, and the Black Lives Matter movement. I then offer a case example and explore how socialization into whiteness can lead to everyday forms of anti-Black dehumanization by white therapists. I conclude with questions toward furthering this work in our movement. Keywords: race, racism, anti-Black, Black, oppression, privilege, intersectionality, awareness, consciousness, field

This work presents the results of a qualitative research with phenomenological character, approaching playing in the view of gestalt-therapists who work with children. Data analysis has gone through four stages according to the proposal of Amedeo Giorgi and more three of Antonio Coppe, which revealed the essence, structure and the sense configuration of the theme, from the apprehended elements of the experience of all the participants. Seven signification units have been identified that revealed the contribution of the Gestalt-therapy in playing, the diversity of possibilities of playing, its understanding and configuration as well as the skills, knowledge and difficulties to act in this area. Thus, could be rethink playing under the optics of the relation: to play and Gestalt-therapy and abilities to act in the infantile Gestalt-therapy.

"Abstract. Popular conceptions of Gestalt are frequently based on an inaccurate under- standing of modem developments in Gestalt psychotherapy. Many of these develop- ments have not yet been published widely and may appear only in the clinical practice of some Gestalt psychotherapists or in The Gestalt Journal or the new British Gestalt Journal. These balancing orientations are also not being disseminated in the same populist fashion as that of some of the charismatic Gestalt practitioners in the past. Great care should be taken before equating any system of psychotherapy with the practice of a few of its exponents, as people do when they fail to differentiate Fritz Perls' Gestalt from the rest of that generation's Gestalt; or when they indiscriminately lump together all Gestalt therapists past and present, and from all over the world. Gestalt as it is now practised in several ""centres of excellence"" is more clinically sound, psychologically profound and ethically aware than some of the past excesses would have led us to believe.

Abstract:

Gestalt Therapy has been growing and developing since its arrival in the 1950's. For some authors, Gestalt-therapy is involved in the process of receiving phenomenology in Humanistic Psychology. However, specifics and institutionalized aspects of its studies, as disciplinarization, are barely visible in Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). In this scenario, this research aims to describe and analyze Gestalt-Therapy's disciplinarization in MS, between 1980 and 1990. Methodologically, this is a research in History of Psychology that uses Documentary and Content Analysis from oral and textual sources. Results indicate that Gestalt-Therapy's disciplinarization happened at the same time the firsts psychologists graduated in the city. They also highlight the involvement in the Gestalt-Therapy's training as a possibility of expansion knowledge, considering the scenario of Campo Grande, at the time, made it difficult to access complementary education. Finally, they suggest an eminently female group profile that shows the importance of therapeutic experiences in the group formation. Therefore, by unveiling this process, we understand certain aspects of the history of Brazilian Psychology, in addition to clarifying untold aspects of this local history.

Specifically: (1) how these three theories understand, articulate or mediate the client's subjective errperience, (2) why intersubjectivity theory can be fully integrated with Gestalt therapy; (3) how Gestalt therapy's methodology of 'bracketing' is inconsistent with field theory; (4) what intersubjectivity theory offers Gestalt therapy as an altemative to the phenomenological method; (5) why self-psychology, while sharing the view of the centrality of subjective experience, cannot be integrated with Gestalt therapy.

Abstract:

Abstract One of the aims of Gestalt Review is to encourage communication between those of us who have extensive contact with each other and those other vital areas of Gestalt activity about which many of us know very little. Last winter, I wrote to Francisco Huneeus, the current Spanish language publisher of my The Gestalt Therapy Book, in Santiago, Chile, to ask him to write about Gestalt therapy in South America for Gestalt Review. Huneeus suggested I write to Marta Slemenson, who was writing an introduction on that topic for Huneeus's edition of Taylor Stoehr's Here Now Next, the wonderful book on Paul Goodman's role in the development of Gestalt therapy. The ensuing lively correspondence produced the following article, which consists of that introduction and a preface written especially for Gestalt Review. J. L.

Abstract:

Abstract The literature on the influence of phenomenology and existentialism on Gestalt therapy is controversial because its founders did not clarify its philosophical and epistemological foundations. However, we understand that various influences exerted on Perls and his collaborators during the development of the Gestalt therapy led to a phenomenological-existential approach. The possible influences of phenomenology and existentialism on Gestalt therapy are discussed based on literature review focusing on the influence of Gestalt psychology, through Goldstein, Laura Perls, and Goodman, and the approaches to the phenomenological ideas of Brentano, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. Similarly, with regard to existentialism, we address the combination of Gestalt concepts with the philosophies of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Buber, and Sartre. It was concluded that the influence of phenomenology and existentialism on Gestalt therapy resulted in the conception of man as a being-in-the-world and an emphasis on past experiences.

Abstract:

Abstract Forty-eight doctoral psychology students responded to questions about their reactions to the theory and practice of Gestalt therapy. These students had just completed a 12-week course on Gestalt therapy. The authors were particularly curious about the degree to which the fundamentals of Gestalt therapy appealed to students in a program and an era that emphasizes brief therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy models. Students' reactions to the course were uniformly positive. All but one respondent stated that they would use parts of their Gestalt therapy training from this course in their future work.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Case formulation is a frequently used therapeutic tool that helps the therapist develop a better understanding of the client’s situation. Core concepts are strategies applied when sorting information about a client, assessing the importance of specific areas and taking appropriate actions in the therapeutic process. Although the area of case formulation has been explored in many other therapeutic approaches, there is a lack of deeper evidence on its use in the Gestalt approach. This article presents a qualitative research study that uses grounded theory for analyzing interviews with eleven Gestalt therapists. The resulting process model represents a theoretical conclusion about Gestalt therapists’ procedures in formulating clients’ cases. The research findings are discussed with the existing findings about the process of case formulation within Gestalt therapy and other therapeutic approaches. The outcome case formulation model can be helpful for practice, training, and supervision.

Abstract:

This study offers an epistemological discussion about the classic psychology and one of its present components, Gestalt therapy, using the trajectory of classical physics to quantum as a backdrop. There was a discussion through a review by addressing three points involving dichotomous (and still currently involved) a partial transition from classical physics to quantum physics (linearity versus nonlinearity; action and reaction versus complex; and classical mechanics versus quantum mechanics) and, illustratively, three points of discussion related to classical psychology as opposed to Gestalt therapy (causal versus existentialism; elementarism versus holism, and objectivity versus phenomenology). It was concluded that there are differences and similarities in the trajectories analyzed, as the paradoxical properties of its objects, the quantum and human consciousness, setting up contact points that enable a dialogue between both quantum physics and Gestalt-therapy.

What is it, in other words, that makes Gestalt therapy Gestalt, and distinguishes it from other psychotherapeutic modalities? This article describes the process of finding an expert consensus about these questions as part of the process of developing a ‘fidelity scale’ for Gestalt therapy. Using a Delphi study, eight key concepts that characterise Gestalt therapy were identified, together with the therapist behaviours that reflect those concepts. Key words: Gestalt, fidelity scale, Delphi study, developing awareness, working relationally, working in the here and now, phenomenological practice, working with embodiment, field sensitive practice, contacting processes, experimental attitude."

Abstract:

"Editor’s Note: The British Gestalt Journal is proud to publish this fascinating, thought- provoking, and at times elegiac essay in which the author describes a meeting between himself and one of the outstanding British philosophers of the twentieth century, Sir Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997). Berlin discourses about Gestalt therapy at length, and the author has captured it for posterity. But is it true? Whether imaginary or historical, our view is that it deserves notice. Latner/Berlin has significant things to say on a great variety of themes, including Gestalt in the context of Romanticism, the limits of theorising in Gestalt therapy, science and history, and holism. Here, then, is a rare opportunity to think freshly about Gestalt therapy while, at the same time, gaining access to the thinking of an extraordinary man reflecting aloud during a beach holiday on the strengths, limitations, and possibilities of Gestalt therapy as a field of human enquiry and practice. The essay, published originally in Gestalttherapie im Umbruch: Von alten Begriffen zu neuen Ideen [Gestalt Therapy in Upheaval – From Old Terms to New Ideas], Staemmler, F.-M. (Ed.), Edition Humanistische Psychologie, Köln Germany, (2001), is published here, with permission, for the first time in English, in an abridged and edited form. The essay will also form part of a book by Joel Latner which is in progress. Key words: holism, Gestalt therapy, Romanticism, Isaiah Berlin, reality, figure and ground."

Abstract:

Gestalt therapy constitutes itself as a dialogical psychotherapy, a clinic of engagement.Empirical research on the dialogical existentialism-gestalt psychotherapy interface is scarce.Considering the dialogical relation as the axis of this approach, the objective was to understand the experiences of psychology professionals regarding the dialogical relation in gestalt therapy.As a methodological resource, we used the qualitative research of a phenomenological method, with a semiotic orientation.Open phenomenological interviews were carried out with five collaborators.The data were recorded and transcribed in full.The analysis was based on phenomenological reflexivity, through description, reduction, and interpretation.Results indicate the opening, presence, and use of epoché by the therapist as fundamental elements for the dialogical relation.Positive I-You attitude experiences have been found, suggesting culminating episodes of this process.There was confusion between the concept of I-You attitude and I-You moments, with an appreciation of this principle to the detriment of the I-It attitude, which evidences the need to rethink the formation of the gestalt therapist. Thus, the dialogical relation in gestalt therapy presents itself as a field of phenomenal pluralities.It is up to the professional to thread carefully and attentively in this field of innumerable possibilities.

Abstract:

Abstract: This paper describes a three-year research project with CORE-OM (Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure) and illustrates the results of the evaluation of the clinical outcome of psychotherapy in clients undergoing psychotherapeutic process with the Gestalt method within the National Organisation of Gestalt Therapy (NOGT), and the Italian Society of Gestalt Psychotherapy (SIPG). The data was gathered using CORE-OM. The study is an example of a practice-oriented research in Gestalt therapy because it introduces a widely used quantitative method to evaluate the clinical outcome of psychotherapy (CORE-OM) as an integral part of clinical work in a relational approach. The authors have repeated within the Italian Gestalt community a similar study conducted in the UK in 2011 and compared both findings. Results indicate that Gestalt therapy has been effective in improving the condition of clients, with an effect size comparable to those that were observed in similar studies conducted in other countries and with different modalities. Keywords: Gestalt therapy, treatment effectiveness, outcome research, CORE-OM, long- term psychotherapy.

Abstract:

Abstract Gestalt therapy has the luxury of having been developed by individuals who were eager to assimilate and integrate the exciting information and theories circulating in psychological circles in their time. A perhaps unintended consequence has been that Gestalt therapy has evolved in parallel with many of the major contributions in the cognitive and neuropsychological revolution in experimental psychology. As a result, Gestalt theory provides an excellent framework for psychology in general and experimental psychology has been quietly providing validation for many of the basic concepts of Gestalt therapy. This article details some of the important areas of this validation and the evolution of current Gestalt theory.

Abstract: The present work aims to describe the different ways of acting in Gestalt therapy. The author distinguishes two activities, one deliberate and the other spontaneous. Within deliberate therapeutic activity he further distinguishes work on the individual and work on the relationship. Both classical Gestalt therapy and the relational orientation that Gestalt therapy has developed today encompass deliberate and spontaneous therapy action. The two perspectives are not irreconcilable, but complementary, integrating each other. Keywords: subjectivity, relationship, field, deliberateness, spontaneity, meeting.
