Philosophical and psychotherapeutic directions that "nourish" Gestalt therapy
Speaking about any scientific approach or direction of practice, including Gestalt therapy, it is important to understand who stood at the origins and contributed to the creation and development of the method.
Gestalt therapy, which originates from the works of F. Perls, is part of the humanistic branch (along with the client-centered therapy of C. Rogers and the existential therapy of J. Bugenthal).
It is important to know that Gestalt therapy was fed by numerous and varied philosophical and therapeutic currents of European, American and Eastern origin. We can especially talk about those of them that more than others influenced the modern Gestalt (see S. Ginger): about phenomenology, existentialism, Eastern philosophies, Gestalt psychology and psychoanalysis.
In this introductory lecture, we will just touch on the historical roots of Gestalt therapy: phenomenology, existentialism, Eastern philosophies, and talk about their influence on the creation and development of the scientific, methodological and practical basis of Gestalt therapy.
