Seminar 302: Issues in Treatment II, Theory Into Practice

This course will focus on bringing core Gestalt psychotherapy theoretical concepts into action. Phenomenology, aesthetics, kinesthetic resonance, retroflection, etc. will be elaborated on and practiced experientially together. We will draw from readings by Laura Perls, Michael Vincent Miller, Jean-Marie Robine, Ruella Frank, Gianni Francesetti and others to deepen theoretical concepts. We will use experiential exercises to bring to life each theme of focus.

Using video tapes, lectures, and a study-group structure, this seminar offers a comprehensive overview of the major basic issues in Gestalt Therapy, such as field theory, the different levels of the personality, the definition and integration of polarities, and the etiology and function of defenses.
