Gestalt Lives! I didn't think that therapy still existed. I went through a Gestalt group in 1984. It was weird but great. I went for a few months and only spoke once but I learned so much from the others. I have such a clear memory of the group members, hard to beleive it was 16 years ago.
> CarolAnn thanks for responding. Just seen her again. Gestalt means the complete picture. Delve into the past, but stay in the present. Speak the feelings of the child within but don't intellectualise (where's the complete picture gone?). It's very much not CBT but not psychoanalysis either. Don't know what it is. Perhaps a bit aimless at present but we'll see.
