A relação psicoterapêutica na contemporaneidade : olhares gestálticos

Abstract

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic, existential-phenomenological approach, conducted in a dynamic and procedural field. In Gestalt treatments, a holistic perspective is established, one that considers that organism-environment interaction are co-constructed. Therefore, in order for the psychologist to attend a person subject in one's wholeness, it is necessary to contemplate the disposition settings of contemporary society and its interfaces with the therapeutic relationship. The contemporary scenario is conceived by an absence of stable references, loss of belongingness and gregariousness sense; in addition to the uprooting and liquefaction of affective relationships. There is, therefore, a fragility in bonds, which provides an annulment of oneself and the other, promoting an absence of real and intimate interaction. This context configures, therefore, new challenges to contemporary Gestalt therapy, bringing out the need for psychotherapists to position themselves as facilitators of encounter meaning existential possibilities. In this sense, this study aims to go through Gestalt-therapy practices towards the emergence of new relational challenges in contemporaneity
