Psychopathology and Gestalt Therapy

Therapeutic and educational work with people suffering from mental illnesses – a humanistic approach.

F 15-20, Sat 10-18 (lunch 13-14.30), Sun 10-14

21 academic hours

As a humanistic approach, Gestalt therapy not only has a holistic and integrative way of working, but for Gestalt psychotherapy a mental disorder is not a firmly defined aspect of being ill or healthy.

The concept of illness and health is understood as a continuum that is located in a specific situation (field) and has concrete physical and psychological experiences in relation to other people.

Psychopathology as the study of human mental suffering is for Gestalt therapists more than a definition and description of characteristics that we can see in the various diagnostic and statistical manuals for mental disorders.

We are interested in the subjective experiences, in the meaning, in the context of the client. In addition, we are in a specific relationship with the client in a shared space of mutual experiences – in a space of resonances and atmosphere, which also affects us as therapists. We share a common basis of co-created experiences in the here and now.

“One of the aims of the therapy is, within the dialog, to give a bearable and lively shape to the deepness, the fantasy as well as the horror we all have inside.” – A. Zambon

We invite you to this workshop to learn about an alternative way of dealing with human suffering.
