Gestalt Therapy: A paradigm

"Psychotherapy is a process through which humans receive support and guidance for challenges they may be experiencing in the present. So, if this 'present challenge' is a wounded leg, in therapy we will first tend to the leg, administer deep first aid, care for the injury, and apply bandages. At the same time, we will explore how this injury occurred, what factors influenced or caused it, and work toward minimizing these factors to prevent any potential re-injury in the future. In other words, we will organize the system in a functional way, aiming to improve your current quality of life and minimize the likelihood of a future re-injury."

Gestalt introduced the concept of "Organismic Self-Regulation."

This principle suggests that every organism possesses the innate wisdom to find its own balance, provided it is given the proper space and support. Therefore, the therapist does not "fix" the individual but helps them regain trust in their own capacity for growth.
