  • Time, Life and Death

    Series Book 8 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    When I do therapy in a new venue, the first thing I do is to take away the clocks. When clients ask me why I do this, I tell them that clocks foster the illusion that time is a given, moving at a regular speed. An hour’s session with one client at one time has an experienced duration that is very different to the experienced duration with another client, or even the same client at another time. We ...

  • Tiranija “osećanja”

    Series Book 7 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy (Serbian)
    Koji je smisao emocija u terapiji? Kad je važno fokusirati se na “osećanja”, a kad je to kontraproduktivno? To se pitanje u mnogo čemu čini smešnim jer se “osećanja” često uzimaju kao središnja tačka ko smo mi i šta pokazujemo na terapiji. U ovom članku želim da dovedem u pitanje pretpostavku da su emocije nužno centralna tačka terapije i pogledam na smisleno mesto emocija kako kod terapeuta tako ... Read more

  • Why I Don’t Ask Questions in Therapy

    Series Book 13 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    When I offer training workshops to people who haven’t seen me work before, one of the main things that they find surprising is how rarely I ask clients questions. In this paper, I discuss the issues that underlie my preference to avoid asking questions. I am aware that to even ask the question can seem strange. People have commented that I don’t see interested in my clients! And in fact, it turns ... Read more

  • We can be Together, but You and Me can Meet

    Series Book 4 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    What does it mean for us to meet? Is it a matter of us being here together in the same place, or seeing each other, or you hearing me? How much is it just a meeting of my interpretation of you, while you are meeting with your interpretation of me? Are we just in a hall of mirrors, reflection meeting reflection? And in that case, is it meaningful to talk about meeting, or contact, or love at all? ... Read more

    In this paper, I examine the meaning of ‘field’ in Gestalt Therapy, and what a field orientation means for the theory and practice of therapy. I also look at what philosophical principles can add to or take away from the clarity of the approach. ... Read more

  • Confluence and Self

    Series Book 16 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    It seems important to me to address the place of confluence in the outlook of Gestalt Therapy. Does it have a meaning and functionality in our being in the world, or is it always a problem to be confronted? The latter was true at one stage in earlier Gestalt culture, where confluence was seen as always bad and to be avoided (although this is clearly not what our founding theory said).I will put ...

  • The 'Active Principle' in Gestalt Therapy

    Series Book 17 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    This is a chapter I was asked to write for a book to be published in Ukraine on the ‘active principle’ in a number of different psychotherapies. The book is now not going to be published, so I am publishing it myself. I would like to thank Larysa Didkovska and the Ukrainian Psychotherapy University for the inspiration to write this.I really like the question: what is the ‘active principle’ in ... Read more

  • Post-Truth: The World Therapy Made!

    Series Book 14 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    My thesis in this paper is that the people of the psychotherapy world, including Gestalt therapists, bear part of the responsibility for a world where truth has become fragmented, split off from the physical world of sensory and motor experience, and there is no obvious way for people to share through difference or to question assertions made that are ‘flatly contradicted’ by physical evidence. We ... Read more

  • The Tyranny of ‘Feelings’

    Series Book 7 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    What is the meaning of emotion in therapy? When is it important to focus on ‘feelings’ and when is it counterproductive? This in many ways seems like a ridiculous question, since ‘feelings’ are often taken as the central point of who we are and what we show in therapy. In this article, I want to question the assumption that emotion is necessarily central to therapy, and look at the meaningful ... Read more

  • Antivax, OCD and Other Projections

    Series Book 18 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    My proposal is that the importance of obsessions and compulsions are that they provide an achievable quasi-response to the situation of anxiety and terror when acted out ‘as in a dream’. So frightening and alienating times inevitably bring out a combination of rageful aggression and loss of sensory and human contact with the world if we cannot find a meaningful way to address the danger in a ...
