  • Dreamwork

    Series Book 2 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    I love working with dreams. I have found that they have the capacity to move therapy work on to a new level, both in individual and group therapy. They speak from a place that is outside the familiar, and often to what is not being attended to, or avoided in life and therapy.In this paper, I start with a (non-exhaustive) list of ways in which we could work with dreams. It is also not a set of ... Read more

  • Time, Life and Death

    Series Book 8 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    When I do therapy in a new venue, the first thing I do is to take away the clocks. When clients ask me why I do this, I tell them that clocks foster the illusion that time is a given, moving at a regular speed. An hour’s session with one client at one time has an experienced duration that is very different to the experienced duration with another client, or even the same client at another time. We ...

  • Tiranija “osećanja”

    Series Book 7 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy (Serbian)
    Koji je smisao emocija u terapiji? Kad je važno fokusirati se na “osećanja”, a kad je to kontraproduktivno? To se pitanje u mnogo čemu čini smešnim jer se “osećanja” često uzimaju kao središnja tačka ko smo mi i šta pokazujemo na terapiji. U ovom članku želim da dovedem u pitanje pretpostavku da su emocije nužno centralna tačka terapije i pogledam na smisleno mesto emocija kako kod terapeuta tako ... Read more

  • A Relational Approach to the Empty Chair

    Series Book 10 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    The ‘empty chair’ experiment has had mixed fortunes in Gestalt Therapy. Once it was a central method, with Fritz Perls naming it as one of his essentials, along with a ‘hot seat’ and tissues. It was so prevalent that it got taken as defining the approach, and taught in that way on counselling courses.While the technique has remained meaningful for many Gestaltists, it has fallen into disfavour ...

  • Why I Don’t Ask Questions in Therapy

    Series Book 13 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    When I offer training workshops to people who haven’t seen me work before, one of the main things that they find surprising is how rarely I ask clients questions. In this paper, I discuss the issues that underlie my preference to avoid asking questions. I am aware that to even ask the question can seem strange. People have commented that I don’t see interested in my clients! And in fact, it turns ... Read more

  • We can be Together, but You and Me can Meet

    Series Book 4 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    What does it mean for us to meet? Is it a matter of us being here together in the same place, or seeing each other, or you hearing me? How much is it just a meeting of my interpretation of you, while you are meeting with your interpretation of me? Are we just in a hall of mirrors, reflection meeting reflection? And in that case, is it meaningful to talk about meeting, or contact, or love at all? ... Read more

  • Confluence and Self

    Series Book 16 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    It seems important to me to address the place of confluence in the outlook of Gestalt Therapy. Does it have a meaning and functionality in our being in the world, or is it always a problem to be confronted? The latter was true at one stage in earlier Gestalt culture, where confluence was seen as always bad and to be avoided (although this is clearly not what our founding theory said).I will put ...

  • Revisiting the Field

    Series Book 1 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    In this paper, I examine the meaning of ‘field’ in Gestalt Therapy, and what a field orientation means for the theory and practice of therapy. I also look at what philosophical principles can add to or take away from the clarity of the approach. ... Read more

  • The Tyranny of ‘Feelings’

    Series Book 7 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    What is the meaning of emotion in therapy? When is it important to focus on ‘feelings’ and when is it counterproductive? This in many ways seems like a ridiculous question, since ‘feelings’ are often taken as the central point of who we are and what we show in therapy. In this article, I want to question the assumption that emotion is necessarily central to therapy, and look at the meaningful ... Read more

  • Sexuality: Drive and Relationship

    Series Book 9 - Topics in Gestalt Therapy
    It has become a truism in psychotherapy writings to say that therapy is about the ‘lived-body’ (Körper) rather than the physical body (Leib), and the ‘phenomenal world’ rather than the physical world, and has thus reproduced the Cartesian mind-body split that Perls and Goodman were so keen to move away from. The human animal, with its appetites, skin and genitalia, is gone! So we are left with a ... Read more
