Istituto di Gestalt HCC - Italy
 Direttore: Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb

Sedi riconosciute: Siracusa e Palermo

The Istituto di Gestalt was founded in July 1979 by Giovanni Salonia and Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb. It was the first School of Gestalt Therapy Training in Italy. It has made a significant contribution to the development of this psychotherapeutic method in Italy and is now internationally recognized for its original theoretical development of the principles of Gestalt therapy, especially in hermeneutic terms, i.e. in terms of ongoing dialog with the demands of the society in which we live.

From the beginning the Institute was in constant touch with the founders of Gestalt Therapy, Isadore From and Jim Simkin, who were then still alive. Exchanges in the teaching and scientific fields have also been established with the most distinguished of the second-generation Gestalt therapists, Joseph Zinker, Erving Polster, Miriam Polster, Sonia March Nevis, Ed Nevis, Richard Kitzler, Michael Vincent Miller, Ed Lynch and others.

From 1982 to 1999 the Institute has trained around 500 students, running 24 four-years Training Programs (in Venice, Rome, Naples, Palermo and Ragusa/Siracusa), as well as various two-years specialization programs (for therapy with seriously disturbed patients, with couples and families; trainings for trainers).
