A brief overview of
gestalt psychotherapy
"Don't push the river, it flows by itself." - F. Perls
​Gestalt, as a German word, refers to an organized whole that is different from the sum of its component parts. This therapeutic approach began its story at the beginning of the last century as a direction in psychology focused on spatial perception and the relationship between figure and ground, and later developed into a distinct direction in psychotherapy that is today applied worldwide.
Gestalt therapy emphasizes a holistic approach to the person, taking into account the entirety of their experience and stressing the importance of taking responsibility for one's own life and actions. The goal of therapy is to help the person become aware of and understand their feelings and behavior, and to build greater awareness of their own needs and desires. It is applied in individual and group therapy, as well as in various fields such as education, organizational development, and the arts.
