Gestalt Therapy
Introduction
Developed by Fritz and Laura Perls in
the 1940’s.
The word “Gestalt” (German origin)
refers to a “whole”.
According to Perls, people are not
made up of separate components, this
is, mind, body and soul, rather
human beings function as a whole.
"I am not in this
world to live up to other
people's expectations, nor
do I feel that the world must
live up to mine."
-Fritz Perls

WEAKNESS
For Gestalt Therapy to be effective, the therapist
must have a high level of personal development
(Corey, 2005).
Effectiveness of the confronting and theatrical
techniques of Gestalt Therapy is limited and has not
been well established.
It has been considered to be a self-centred approach
which is concerned with just individual development
Lacks a strong theoretical base.
Deals only with the here and now.
Does not deal with diagnosis and testing.
Gestalt therapy
Conclusion
Gestalt therapy focuses on the
integration between the “whole”
person and his or her environment.
This therapy sees a healthy individual
as being someone who has awareness
in his or her life and lives in the here
and now rather than focusing on the
past or future.
