5. Gestalt View of Human Nature
Therapy aims at integrating the
sometimes conflicting dimensions
within the individual
Individuals are capable of dealing with
their life problems themselves,
especially if they are fully aware of
what is happening in and around them
Gestalt Theory of Change:
The more we try to be who & what
we are not, the more we stay the same
6.
7. Therapeutic Goals
To assist the client in obtaining AWARENESS!
Expand the client’s ABILITY TO MAKE CHOICES
Foster client’s INTEGRATON OF THE SELF
Support the client in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
9. Essentially "contemplative" rather than practical. Here we meet an Other in such a
manner that nothing beyond the meeting is desired or sought: the experience is one
of something/someone which/who is seen and felt as an end-in-itself. The
experience involves an appreciation of and a respect for the reality of the
Other, grasped in its uniqueness and its mysteriousness. Here I am open and willing
to receive the self-revelation of the Other as it stands-out-in-the-open-toward-me,
showing itself just as-it-is. In this I welcome, and thus encourage, the Other to show
me his/its own unique Truth. The experience is not expressible in descriptive
language: it is fundamentally ineffable, since it is the experience of the Other in its
uniqueness and its unfathomable mysteriousness: the Other is apprehended as a
reality which we can never fully to know, predict, or control. The attitude which
characterizes the person who experiences I-Thou is one of
disinterested--yet caring and curious--fascination. (Crocker
2002)
I-Thou Relationships
13. The Experience
Takes Place In the Hear and Now
How What When Who Questions-WHY QUESTIONS AVOIDED
What happened in the past is of limited importance
Makes contact in a vivid & immediate manner rather than simply
talking about
14.
15. Interferes with the effective contact with
oneself & others until one faces & deals
with the unexpressed emotions
Unfinished Business
16. Therapeutic Experiment
Therapeutic Experiences are perceived as a series of
experiments
Experiments are co-created by client and counselor
Designed to intensify experiencing and feeling
Experiments are created and changed throughout the
experience
18. Experimental Warnings
Experiments Are Not For Everybody
Experiments for less organized, more severely disturbed, or
psychotic clients can be problematic
Experiments are powerful-Harm Can Occur
Experiments require caution, skill, training and experience

A role playing technique
Encourages dialogue opposing poles in one’s personality
Promotes a higher level of integration & acceptance of the 2 polarities
“I Take Responsibility for …” Experiment
Counselor asks a client to make a statement & then adds: “and I take
responsibility for it”
Promotes: Increased recognition & acceptance of the client’s feelings
Decreased projection of their emotions onto others
23. Playing the Projection Experiment
Counselor asks client to role play certain assertions that he/she
makes about other people Increases awareness of how he/she sees
clearly in others the very things he/she does not want to see & accept
in the self
Reversal Technique Experiment
Counselor asks the client to role play the opposing side of the
personality Permits the contact with pieces of the self that have
been denied & submerged
Rehearsal Experiment
Counselor asks client to share his/her internal rehearsing to make
him/her aware of how much energy & preparation is involved in
“bolstering” their social roles
24. Staying with the Feeling
Counselor encourages the client to stay with the
retain unpleasant feelings from which the client
would prefer to escape
Gestalt Dream Work Experiments
The royal road to integration
The counselor encourages the client to relive & act
out the dream in the present tense
Each part of the dream is understood as a projection
of the self
All the different parts of the dream are expression
of one’s contradictory & inconsistent sides
By entering a dialogue between the opposing sides,
one becomes more aware of the range of one’s
emotions
25. Gestalt Therapy Criticisms
Doesn’t Utilize Formal Diagnosis or Assessments
The counselor must have a high level of personal
development
May not be embraced within cultures that stress
reserve
Experiencing Not Easily Seen To Solve Problems
