Where is Gestalt Therapy going?

ABSTRACT


In questo articolo, voglio tracciare la/le direzione/i in cui si sta muovendo la Gestalt Therapy dal suo passato al suo futuro(i). Sottolineo la deliberata mancanza di un teorico centrale e autorità clinica, portando a molteplici e coesistenti versioni della teoria e della pratica, insieme a un divieto (fino a poco tempo fa) di parlare di teoria. Quindi, studenti e i laureati in GT non erano in grado di confrontare e contrastare ciò che era stato loro insegnato con qualsiasi altro approccio. Scrivo della crescita più recente iconferenze, riviste e contatti internazionali tra gestaltisti, che ha favorito una maggiore assimilazione e comprensione.


In this article, I want to trace the direction(s) in which Gestalt Therapy is moving from its past to its future(s). I emphasise the deliberate lack of a central theoretical and clinical authority, leading to multiple co-existing versions of the theory and practice, together with a prohibition (until recently) of talking theory. Thus, students and graduates in GT were not able to compare and contrast what they had been taught with any other approaches. I write about the more recent growth in conferences, journals and international contacts between Gestaltists, which has supported more assimilation and understanding.
