View through CrossRef
Abstract
This article gives an overview of the Gestalt therapy movement in Brazil, highlighting its special features and characteristics, through comparison of the author's experiences with Gestalt therapy in Brazil and abroad. Attention to group process, the emphasis on the study of Gestalt therapy's philosophical and epistemological foundations, attention to the individual-environment field and sociocultural and economic factors, and community oriented mental health services, as well as the Brazilian style of contact and other cultural differences, are pointed out as a valuable intrinsic part of Gestalt therapy work in Brazil. Furthermore, considering the questionings and transformations that the Gestalt therapy community have had worldwide in the 1980s and 1990s, the author compares Gestalt therapy of yesterday and today, considering gains and losses, and envisioning the future of Gestalt therapy, reflects on some of the challenges she perceives as common to us all.
