Abstract:

"ABSTRACT The two fundamental elements of Gestalt theory - Gestalt's 'metapsychology' - are, first, the assertion that all human behaviour may be understood in terms of figure formation and destruction and, second, the identification of the self with those parts of the figure formation /destruction process involving contact. The Gestalt self, then, is contact. This concept of the self derives from Gestalt's existential refusal to countenance division between mind, body and world, and is, therefore, essential to Gestalt therapy's holistic and relational nature. This argument is based on an inte

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

Abstract:

Abstract For us, who work with children and adolescents, it is very important to have a developmental Gestalt theory, as well as a Gestalt approach to psychopathology. Based on the theory of contact and the self, I consider autism as a contact and boundary problem in which the child is caught right at the boundary. Thus, we can think of a Gestalt approach to autism. As a result of my experience with autistic children, I present an explanation of the development of the child utilizing a Gestalt perspective.

Research on the visual presentation of instructions (and other texts) tends to be repetitious, unsystematic, and overly complex. A simpler yet rich approach to analyzing the visual dimension of instructions is Gestalt theory. Gestalt principles of proximity, closure, symmetry, figure-ground segregation, good continuation, and similarity provide a powerful approach to making instructions more inviting and consistent, as well as easier to access, follow, and understand.

Abstract:

Time-evolving tactile sensations are important in communication between animals as well as humans. In recent years, this research area has been defined as “tactileology,” and various studies have been conducted. This study utilized the tactile Gestalt theory to investigate these sensations. Since humans recognize shapes with their visual sense and melodies with their auditory sense based on the Prägnanz principle in the Gestalt theory, this study assumed that a time-evolving texture sensation is induced by a tactile Gestalt. Therefore, the operation of such a tactile Gestalt was investigated.

Conversely, with severe or persistent lack of support (e.g., severe or sustained abuse, neglect, or loss}, shame becomes internalised and integrated into basic beliefs about the 'self' and the possibilities of contact with others.

Summary Applied Gestalt theory in the tradition of Gestalt psychology on the one hand and Gestalt pedagogy in the tradition of Gestalt therapy on the other hand are two different ways of thinking about education. Gestalt pedagogy proves to be compatible in many ways with current positions in education studies, in particular those of phenomenological pedagogy, dialogical pedagogy and theories of meaningful learning. All three approaches could provide a common ground for the two Gestalt traditions – not only for bringing them into relation, but also for strengthening their theoretical frameworks

En-tretanto, os dois discordam entre si no que diz respeito a qual estatuto fenomenológico deve ser concedido à natureza transcendental da Gestalt. Defendo que o ponto central da diver-gência gira em torno da aplicação do método eidético de Husserl.

Human experience and behavior are understood to be functions of the person and the environment (including the other individuals therein) in a psychic field (life space), which encompasses both of these mutually dependent factors.

ABSTRACT The expression of certainty within a Gestalt clinical praxis has been unhelpfully discouraged. Expressing certainty has been aligned with abuses of power, while maintaining uncertainty has become a shibboleth of Gestalt thinking. This is theoretically unsound and potentially therapist-privileging, contributing to an amoral practitioner neutrality rather than an implicated, ethical responsibility. From a specific clinical encounter in which certainty is expressed, a basis is built to support how a Gestalt access to certainty might be understood and achieved with regard to knowledge and

On this theme, well-known representatives of Gestalt theory have presented some general and special theories since the early days of this approach that could partly be substantiated experimentally.

Abstract:

Abstract The Society for Gestalt Theory and its Applications (GTA) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The task of this article was to give a selection of gestalt theoretical research, which was created within the framework of the GTA. After a brief introduction to the theory, recent developments that have emerged since the founding of the Society and have found expression in the journal Gestalt Theory, as well as in many other publications, have been discussed. A number of contributions to the fundamental area could be cited: consciousness research, multifield approach, synergetics
