Uma clínica de corpos no campo : a gestalt-terapia como uma abordagem do sentir

Abstract

The gestaltic clinic was born as a disruptive proposal from the movements of psychoanalysis and positivism of the 20th century, with the proposal to build a modality of psychotherapy that was guided by present situation and phenomenological and holistic backgrounds about human existence. Thus, Gestalt-therapy comes up as an approach based on the phenomenal field, including the psychotherapist as an essential part of the totality of the client's psychotherapeutic process. In this sense, ways are opened to think about the possibilities of involvement of the psychotherapist as a phenomenal body (lieb) bearer of senses and sensations, in order to enable new contacts and produce awareness of figural situations within the psychotherapeutic encounter.
