“ Contact
and Therapeutic Relationship,
a
Field Perspective ”
Gestalt
therapy has by now become a worldwide phenomenon.
People from a broad variety of cultures and divergent perspectives have
expanded the possibilities for both theory and practice of Gestalt therapy.
In response, a group of leading Gestalt therapists from around the world
has formed a new international network. We
are now announcing the first of our summer programs.
The program offers a unique opportunity for advanced training in Gestalt
therapy.
The faculty consists of well-known, highly experienced trainers and
writers who have contributed to the furthering of Gestalt therapy theory.
We come from six countries in Europe, North and Latin America.
Among our purposes: (1) To
help establish and strengthen a common ground for Gestalt-therapy, consistent
with the legacy of our founders, while embracing a range of contemporary
developments and innovative methodologies.
(2) To help Gestalt therapists increase their theoretical and clinical
sophistication.
The program is designed primarily for established Gestalt therapists
throughout the world who already work as teachers, supervisors, or practitioners.
As space permits there may be openings for those with less experience and
training in Gestalt therapy, depending on their overall qualifications.
The program will provide opportunities to experiment with and reflect on
different approaches to Gestalt therapy theory and practice while learning them
from those who have played an important part in developing them.
The workshop format will invite intellectual and experiential dialogue.
It will aim to encourage interaction around differences.
There will be meetings and activities involving the whole learning and
teaching community, as well as small group work (theory, experiential work,
consultation, and supervised practice). There
may also be an opportunity for participants to present or share their own work
if they so desire.
We intend to present this program every year from now on during the
second half of July in different parts of the world.
Language

Some communities may come with their own interpreter. Thus, a Mexican
group plan to come with a Spanish > < English translator. Let us know your
