Abstract:

Summary In the current cognitive theory of music, concepts of Gestalt psychology are referred to in various ways. For example, neurocognitive models of music perception address the formation of auditory Gestalts as a stage in the formation of meaning. However, this view runs counter to central premises of Gestalt psychology of Carl Stumpf’s school, which precisely did not describe Gestalts as synthesized phenomena. Nevertheless, it is argued here, borrowing from Gestalt concepts can promote current non-reductionist positions. They conceptualize musical perception not in the ways of information theory, but of phenomenology and action theory. Here the theory of affordance developed by J.J. Gibson in close collaboration with his wife Eleanor J. Gibson stands out. It was explicitly introduced into musicological research by Eric Clarke, but without reference to its Gestalt psychological roots. The article explores theories of musical affordance with the help of further methodological tools, which can be assigned to the philosophical schools of direct realism and constructivism. They open up the possibility of a non-cognitivist and non-representational perspective on musical perception. It turns out that Gestalt psychological concepts also have a catalytic effect on the expansion of our understanding of musical perception in this constellation, although this connection has hardly been visible so far.

Abstract:

SummaryThe famous essay by Christian von Ehrenfels, Über Gestaltqualitäten (1890), opens up, as is well-known, an important seam not only in the psychology of perception but also of aesthetics, of the psychology and philosophy of music, art and language. Here, in fact, the form understood as ‘Gestalt’ is something concretely audible and visible and not simply a formal abstraction. It is about a pioneering programme rich in ideas and original connections. The author does not mean simply to define the meaning of the concept of Gestalt, but he also sets out a fertile variety of extraordinary applications. In the first place – following a suggestion of Ernst Mach’s – he indicates an application in the field of music, in particular in the exemplary case of melody. In this sense the melody, as a temporal Gestalt, is a more fitting illustration of Gestalt than a spatial Gestalt (e.g. of a geometric figure). But in other cases, as for instance in the case of perception of movement, both temporal and spatial Gestalts are admitted. And a characteristic example is provided by dance. In this article, we shall investigate the comparison between sound movement and visual–gestural movement, and we shall also be discussing the matter by having recourse to the experience of professional dancers.

Abstract:

Wertheimer realizou um experimento que era explicado seguindo-se fatores holísticos gestálticos, e isto há mais de noventa anos. Apesar disso, estudos recentes demonstram a vivacidade desse tipo de explicação. Basicamente, ao se observar coisas do mundo, observa-se suas formas ou melhor suas Gestalten. A seguir, pode-se dividir essas Gestalten em partes. Porém cada parte será sempre parte daquela Gestalt que lhe deu inicio e não um elemento constituinte básico. A teoria da Gestalt não é exclusivamente psicológica, como o demonstraram principalmente Wertheimer, Köhler e Koffka. Iniciou-se com um experimento sobre a visão de movimentos correspondendo a estímulos estáticos, mas continuou propondo-se inclusive, de um lado, uma Gestalt física formada da corrente elétrica gestálticas dentro de um condutor ou, de outro, uma Gestalt sociológica formada de muitos seres humanos, como o dançar de pares ao som de um samba realizado por um grupo de músicos.

"Abstract: This article continues a dialogue within the Gestalt community regarding the usefulness to Gestalt therapists of two psychoanalytic theories: self-psychology and intersubjectivity theory. Their relevance has been recently recognised in the writings of Lynne Jacobs, Richard Hycner, John Wheway. Specifically: (1) how these three theories understand, articulate or mediate the client's subjective errperience, (2) why intersubjectivity theory can be fully integrated with Gestalt therapy; (3) how Gestalt therapy's methodology of 'bracketing' is inconsistent with field theory; (4) what intersubjectivity theory offers Gestalt therapy as an altemative to the phenomenological method; (5) why self-psychology, while sharing the view of the centrality of subjective experience, cannot be integrated with Gestalt therapy. Key words: intersubjectivity theory. self-psychology, Gestalt therapy, field theory, self object, transference, co-transference, organising principle, dialogue, inclusion, phenomology, empathy, perspective realism."

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the delineation of the subject framework and conceptualization of ge-stalt culturology as an independent scientific direction, that can unite many spheres of knowledge, including theories that have no clearly expressed disciplinary status, or are characterized as “distinc-tive” and “original”. The basis of this direction are proceedings of O. Spengler, oriented to the organic approach of Goethe, in which the problem of peculiarities of perception and uniqueness of representa-tions of reality within separate cultures is put as core. Developing this problem, Spengler carried out a detailed and thorough analysis of gestalts of the world of various “cultural organisms”, devoting the greatest part of the “The decline of the West”. Also considered as fundamental the work of H. von Ehrenfels, which became a kind of foundation for the formation of gestalt psychology. Special attention is paid to the works of G.D. Gachev, who worked in Spengler’s tradition and created a series of books devoted to the disclosure of the specifics of the “national images of the world”. The basic parameters of the invariant of the world images, allowing to compare gestalts, born in the space of different cultures, are designated. The text raises the question of interrelations between psychology and culturology in the field of Gestalt-researchers. The specificity of their subject frameworks and intersec-tion points, making cooperation of these sciences in the study area prospective, are shown. Attention is paid to the sphere of exploration of “multilayered” artifacts, material structures and “semantic aura” of which reflect signs of influence of many periods of history. These complex monuments appear as a kind of historical and cultural gestalts that require special methods of study, conservation practices, restoration and exhibiting. The works of T. Kuhn in the field of philosophy of science, the essential aspects of which are based on the understanding of paradigms as a kind of gestalts, in a special way “refractive” reality for the scientific community, are touched upon. The text considers several author’s concepts and basic scientific spheres, intersecting with the subject field of gestalt culturology, among which is distinguished the theory of sociocultural dynamics of P.A. Sorokin, engaged in the analysis of mental structures of different types of culture; cultural-historical psychology, including a whole range of researchers in this field; cultural-intellectual history; cognitive culturology, etc. Attention is paid to the prospects for the development of gestalt culturology in modern science. The text outlines the prob-lem of an adequate translation into Russian of the scientific term “gestalt”, what makes, in fact, all attempts to monosyllabic translation of this term insufficient.

Abstract:

Abstract Gestalt therapy has the luxury of having been developed by individuals who were eager to assimilate and integrate the exciting information and theories circulating in psychological circles in their time. A perhaps unintended consequence has been that Gestalt therapy has evolved in parallel with many of the major contributions in the cognitive and neuropsychological revolution in experimental psychology. As a result, Gestalt theory provides an excellent framework for psychology in general and experimental psychology has been quietly providing validation for many of the basic concepts of Gestalt therapy. This article details some of the important areas of this validation and the evolution of current Gestalt theory.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objectively identifying a phenomenon from observation is often difficult. This essay reflects upon this problem from a philosophical perspective by taking the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) as an example. I argue that it can be considered as a problem of Gestalt. This concept is introduced by closely following Ludwig Wittgenstein’s two philosophical works, Philosophical Investigations (Philosophische Untersuchungen) and Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology(Bemerkungen über die Philosophie der Psychologie). Reflections upon the concept of Gestalt suggest why an objective identification of a phenomenon is so difficult. Importantly, the problem should not be reduced to that of “pattern recognition.” Rather a given phenomenon must be considered as a whole, including a question of a driving mechanism.

Abstract:

This article interprets emotional change as a transition in a complex dynamical system. We argue that the appropriate kind of dynamical system is one that extends recent work on how neural networks can perform parallel constraint satisfaction. Parallel processes that integrate both cognitive and affective constraints can give rise to states that we call emotional gestalts, and transitions can be understood as emotional gestalt shifts. We describe computational models that simulate such phenomena in ways that show how dynamical and gestalt metaphors can be given a concrete realization.

Abstract:

Gestalt Therapy has been growing and developing since its arrival in the 1950's. For some authors, Gestalt-therapy is involved in the process of receiving phenomenology in Humanistic Psychology. However, specifics and institutionalized aspects of its studies, as disciplinarization, are barely visible in Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). In this scenario, this research aims to describe and analyze Gestalt-Therapy's disciplinarization in MS, between 1980 and 1990. Methodologically, this is a research in History of Psychology that uses Documentary and Content Analysis from oral and textual sources. Results indicate that Gestalt-Therapy's disciplinarization happened at the same time the firsts psychologists graduated in the city. They also highlight the involvement in the Gestalt-Therapy's training as a possibility of expansion knowledge, considering the scenario of Campo Grande, at the time, made it difficult to access complementary education. Finally, they suggest an eminently female group profile that shows the importance of therapeutic experiences in the group formation. Therefore, by unveiling this process, we understand certain aspects of the history of Brazilian Psychology, in addition to clarifying untold aspects of this local history.

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism universes, based on a conceptual analysis for contributing to Gestalt-therapy theoretical development. Gestalt model has been adopted as investigation methodology using the creation and destruction figures (gestalten). Initially it was determined Perls as the start up reference or initial figure, due to his interest in Zen-Buddhism. The analysis of his collected works and auto-biography has defined his contact with Buddhism and, as consequence, its reverberation in Gestalt-therapy creation. Within Gestalt-therapy theoretical content, some concepts are related to Zen and others illustrate a close interaction, as the awareness flow/continuum awareness and meditation. Both Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism have been investigated on the human being conceptual analysis perspective, as well as self, I, here and now, temporality, addressing their similarities and differences. Situations captured from Gestalt-Therapy clinical practice, stories and Zen-Buddhism mondos have contributed for the understanding of concepts presented in this study. This relationship establishment has allowed the identification of main articulation structures between Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism, pointing out the fundamental topics that differentiate their identities

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract: The essence of relational Gestalt therapy, according to Goodman, rests within political activism and social critique. Thus, a discussion of relational Gestalt therapy as a potential psychology of liberation invariably implies a critique of mainstream psychology. Essentially, an idea is clarified through differentiation with what it is not. Psychology embedded within a positivist paradigm, in attempting to understand universal human nature as distinct from the phenomenological field in which the individual is situated, makes a series of assumptions that are rarely questioned within the mainstream psychological literature. Consequently, a theory of human nature as ahistorical and apolitical becomes a form of oppression in service of those with power. Furthermore, the generally accepted theory of human nature has implications for ‘best practice’ in psychotherapy in treating deviations to such nature, with these deviations regarded as ‘mental disorders’. The article concludes that potentially establishing relational Gestalt therapy as an ‘evidence-based practice’ should not be the only direction the Gestalt community takes, but also focusing attention towards political activism and a critique of social theory in order to effect real change within the world. Keywords: relational Gestalt therapy, positivist psychology, evidence-base, power, political activism, critique of social theory.

Full text

Abstract:

This article provides a comprehensive review of the significant contributions of Gestalt Theory to Social Psychology. It highlights how this perspective enriches the understanding of perception, cognition and social interaction. Originating in the field of perceptual psychology, Gestalt Theory postulates that individuals perceive visual and social elements as integrated parts of a whole, rather than sums of isolated components. This holistic principle is explored through its application in Social Psychology. How it influences impression formation, problem solving, decision making and group dynamics is examined. Key concepts such as insight thinking, figure background in social perception, and the importance of patterns and structures in interpreting social contexts are discussed. In addition, the impact of Gestalt Theory on research methods and social therapies is evaluated from a unique perspective on human interaction and group behavior. Finally, future research areas are suggested that could benefit from a deeper integration of Gestalt principles into Social Psychology, promoting a more holistic and dynamic approach to understanding the mind and social behavior.

Abstract:

Summary This article questions certain assumptions concerning film form made by the recent (neuro)psychological film research and compares them to those of precursors of film psychology like Hugo Münsterberg and Rudolf Arnheim, as well as the principles of Gestalt psychology. It is argued that principles of Gestalt psychology such as those of ‘good form’ and good continuation are still underlying the psychological research of film, becoming particularly apparent in its approach to continuity editing. Following an alternative Gestalt genealogy that links Gestalt theory with more recent dynamic models of brain activity and with accounts of brain complexity and neuronal synchronisation, the article concludes that psychological research on film needs to shift the focus from form to transformation, both in conceiving the perceptual and cognitive processing of films and in approaching film aesthetics more broadly.

Abstract The aim of the first part of this article is to highlight some of the historical roots of the affinities of Whitehead’s philosophy with Gestalt psychology by identifying a number of physicists as well as philosopher-psychologists playing a relevant role in both the genesis of Whitehead’s thought and that of Gestalt psychology. The article goes beyond identifying Faraday and Maxwell as well as James and Bergson as relevant in this respect. It also focuses on others who have influenced Whitehead: Lorentz as well as Lotze and Brentano, Ward and Stout. The aim of the second part of this article is to introduce three of Whitehead’s key ideas by means of a number of simple Gestalt experiments: his idea of what mathematics is all about, his idea of what is wrong with Einstein’s interpretation of special and general relativity, and his idea of the role of recognition in the subjective form of feeling.

Abstract:

Abstract: This article presents an approach to obsessive–compulsive disorder based on Gestalt therapy theory, Gestalt psychology, and psychiatric phenomenology. After establishing a diagnostic framework, the experiences of clients are explored, starting from the experience of space and time, of the relationship between details and the whole, of boundaries, and of materiality. In the light of the Gestalt theory of perception, the obsessive– compulsive symptom is framed as a creative adjustment able to protect the client from much worse suffering, in a situation in which the bodily sensorial ground is permeated with terror. After describing how the obsessive–compulsive field is aesthetically actualised in therapy, a number of issues and passages are highlighted that can help therapists in their journey with the sufferers. Keywords: obsessive–compulsive disorder, Gestalt therapy, phenomenology, Gestalt psychology, perception, psychopathology, psychopathological field, language, aesthetics.

Abstract:

Abstract Although it is beyond doubt that there were historical connections between Whitehead and some of the proponents of Gestalt psychology, it is difficult to determine on the available body of historical evidence whether they were substantive or just marginal. A detailed comparison of Whitehead’s process metaphysics and the theories of Gestalt psychology is a task yet to be undertaken. Whitehead’s process philosophy and (some forms of) Gestalt psychology share basic similarities in their major principles. This is substantiated by two of Ehrenfels’ well-known gestalt qualities: (1) superadditivity, and (2) figure-ground relation. Both approaches can profit from one another: while Whitehead’s concept of consciousness and its interrelatedness with unconscious processes seems to be more elaborate, the Gestalt psychological approach, on the other hand, shows how these topics can be investigated by using experimental research designs. This is illustrated by an experiment on complex problem solving which demonstrates that unreportable (functionally unconscious) hints can improve even such sophisticated processes as complex problem solving. Since this is what should be expected from a Whiteheadian point of view, the results empirically confirm the process position on perception and thinking. Finally, further interesting possibilities of undertaking future empirical process research are outlined.

Full text

Abstract:

Summary Daniel N. Stern’s research on the first years of life offers the view of an active newborn, developing in a continuous dialogue with the Other. The mother places the infant feelings at the center of her attention. The infant gets in tune with the mother, and learns that she welcomes and understands his inner states. Such attunement is a primary holistic experience, taking place because of the infant innate ability to perceive the “interpersonal happenings” as a unitary Gestalt, emerging “from the theoretically separate experiences of movement, force, time, space and intention”. Large convergence exists between Daniel Stern’s developmental psychology and Gestalt theory: both view the infant development occurring within an inter-subjective matrix, not as a process with phases or stages, but rather as a progressive organization of structures.

Abstract:

The visual information design refers to the communication and exchange with the real world through the graphic signification. The understanding of a graph is a visual recognition process of the graphic object. The audience can feel the intangibility of the design work behind the tangibility during the transmission, perception, communication and resonance processes. The unconscious mind of the audience is aroused under the visual impact, thus reaching the goal of transmitting the concept of information appeal. Influenced by the holistic view of the Gestalt Psychology, the modern cognitive psychology highlights the comprehensive analysis of human cognitive process, while Gestalt psychologists lay the emphasis on the integrity of experience and behavior. According to the principle of Gestalt Psychology, the form perceived is not the direct imitation of an objective thing, but instead, it is the perceptual construction activity when eyes capture the thing. As a manifestation system in the visual perception research field, the Gestalt Psychology teases the related perceptual organization principles for the human cognitive process and promotes the development of the visual perception researches. Based on the Gestalt Psychology, it is proposed in this research to study psychological phenomena from the holistic dynamic structure, explore the visual information design, and exploit the design field of view and creative thinking, in an effort to form a new design philosophy which will play an important role in improving the aesthetic effect and visual impact of the design work.

Abstract:

Abstract Forty-eight doctoral psychology students responded to questions about their reactions to the theory and practice of Gestalt therapy. These students had just completed a 12-week course on Gestalt therapy. The authors were particularly curious about the degree to which the fundamentals of Gestalt therapy appealed to students in a program and an era that emphasizes brief therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy models. Students' reactions to the course were uniformly positive. All but one respondent stated that they would use parts of their Gestalt therapy training from this course in their future work.

Abstract:

Modeling is not only a kind of visual language, but also a kind of meaningful visual manifestations. The sense of formative industry design is attracting much attention in the design works, and it is the starting point of Gestalt psychology. Visual perception in law and its basic characteristics of Gestalt psychology have great guiding significance to formative industry design. The analyzing of relationship between overall shape and variety of components is very important. It can guide the formative industry design.

Abstract:

"Abstract: This paper is based on a keynote lecture that was given at the biannual conference of the Gestaltterapeutisk Forum in Copenhagen on March 26, 2011. Therefore it includes some special references to Denmark and Søren Kierkegaard. The title of the conference was ‘The Now: The Meaning of Time in Gestalt Therapy’. The author investigates the question, how the Now can be understood in ways that are in accordance with Gestalt therapy’s roots in phenomenology, Gestalt psychology, and holism. He points out that temporality and mean- ing-making are closely linked together, which leads to the idea that there is no absolute Now. Instead, it is proposed that the duration of a respective Now should be defined with respect to the complexity of the meaning that is to be created. A holarchy of Nows is proposed, in which ‘individual sensory Nows’, an ‘integrated sensory Now’, a ‘semantic Now’, a ‘situational Now’, and a ‘hermeneutic Now’ are inherently interrelated. Key words: Gestalt psychology, holism, meaning, now, phenomenology, time."

Abstract:

This study offers an epistemological discussion about the classic psychology and one of its present components, Gestalt therapy, using the trajectory of classical physics to quantum as a backdrop. There was a discussion through a review by addressing three points involving dichotomous (and still currently involved) a partial transition from classical physics to quantum physics (linearity versus nonlinearity; action and reaction versus complex; and classical mechanics versus quantum mechanics) and, illustratively, three points of discussion related to classical psychology as opposed to Gestalt therapy (causal versus existentialism; elementarism versus holism, and objectivity versus phenomenology). It was concluded that there are differences and similarities in the trajectories analyzed, as the paradoxical properties of its objects, the quantum and human consciousness, setting up contact points that enable a dialogue between both quantum physics and Gestalt-therapy.

Abstract:

Abstract The literature on the influence of phenomenology and existentialism on Gestalt therapy is controversial because its founders did not clarify its philosophical and epistemological foundations. However, we understand that various influences exerted on Perls and his collaborators during the development of the Gestalt therapy led to a phenomenological-existential approach. The possible influences of phenomenology and existentialism on Gestalt therapy are discussed based on literature review focusing on the influence of Gestalt psychology, through Goldstein, Laura Perls, and Goodman, and the approaches to the phenomenological ideas of Brentano, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. Similarly, with regard to existentialism, we address the combination of Gestalt concepts with the philosophies of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Buber, and Sartre. It was concluded that the influence of phenomenology and existentialism on Gestalt therapy resulted in the conception of man as a being-in-the-world and an emphasis on past experiences.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the universal algebraic rules of nucleotide sequences in the DNA of genomes of higher and lower organisms. The patterns identified by the author are related to the known binary nature of genetic structures and are expressed in genomic gestalt phenomena, which are similar to genetically inherited phenomena of gestalt psychology. This allows the author to develop the ideas of gestalt genetics and algebraic biology. Many genetic phenomena of tetrastructurization evoke associations with Kulakov’s concept of tetra-eidoses.
