Full textAbstract:
The matter of whether the Gestalt-Therapy and Person Centered Approach are phenomenological approaches is controversial in the contemporary scenario of humanistic psychology in Brazil. In 1991, Luis Claudio Figueiredo published a book about the main stream psychological thoughts, in which both approaches are considered not phenomenological. This article intends to make a contribution to this discussion by establishing a dialog between the Person Centered Approach and Gestalt- Therapy with the psychological main streams as conceived by the author.

Full textAbstract:
Mourning and depressive experience are distinguished to highlight the core of the suffering of people in depression. In the mourning experience a specific person or situation becomes unreachable and therein lies the loss suffered. The experience of melancholic depression differs: what is lost is that which anchors the subject to the fabric which connects him/her to the world. A radically relational approach to depression where the client and therapist are seen as depressing here and now in the therapy’s situation is introduced.

This article proposes ways in which the theories, philosophies, and techniques of Gestalt therapy can assist rehabilitation counselors to better understand traumatic brain injury (TBI). The article describes the central tenets of Gestalt therapy and its unique fit to TBI. Discussion focuses on how an appreciation of Gestalt therapy can assist rehabilitation counselors to understand and address the psychological, familial, and service system implications of TBI. A conceptual framework is presented on the pathways of maladjustment and adjustment to living with TBI from a Gestalt perspective. A central assumption of this model is that without intervention, the onset of TBI activates a process of maladjustment for many persons with TBI and their family caregivers expressed by fragmentation, unfinished business, and lack of self-awareness. The model underscores the importance of rehabilitation counselor attention on both individual and contextual levels.

Gestalt therapy emphasizes the development of self-support and self responsibility. This is consonant with the goal of rehabilitation counseling, which is to assist people in the attainment of independence and self-sufficiency. The theory underlying Gestalt therapy will be discussed as well as its applications, both emotionally and vocationally, to individuals with amputations.

Abstract The following text is an overview study which defines the basic phenomena and effective factors of Gestalt drama and outlines some of the researches carried out in this area by the author during recent years. Gestalt drama is the name of a specific psychotherapeutic approach applied by the author in his practice, which combines Gestalt therapy with expressive approaches (especially with dramatherapy, theatrotherapy and fairytale-therapy). Linking Gestalt therapy and expressive techniques results in a specific psychotherapeutic approach whose versatility and holistic conception makes it suitable not only for psychotherapy but also for self-development of people with special needs, as it has the potential to meet the higher psychological needs even when the lower needs are not sufficiently saturated. The article further presents the interpretation of the partial results of research focusing on the analysis of integration performance where gestaltdrama techniques have been applied. These performances resulted from one-day dramatherapy workshops with clients suffering from mental retardation and with clients with behavioural disorders. This includes the analysis of differences between dramatical expression within the above target groups.

Gestalt therapy is explored in terms of its major concepts, historical evolution, assumptions, applications and techniques, and research in regard to rehabilitation counseling. Focus is given to the Gestalt approach with particular concern to the disabled individual. It is suggested that Gestalt therapy has many applications in rehabilitation and that further systematic research needs to be conducted to establish its overall efficacy for the field.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
This work is based on a history of psychology perspective, and aims to unveil the Gestalt-therapy and gestalt approach history in Brazil. This essay has an empirical and qualitative character, using the historiographic method. The interviews are semi-directives conducted with some of the first professionals to work with this approach in Brazil, here called first actors in the geographical axis that includes the state of São-Paulo and the Federal District, specifically Brasília. These interviews were analyzed under a phenomenological point of view, and grouped in main themes in order to understand the particular view of these first actors understanding, from their individual perceptions, how this approach came to Brazil; with who arrives and how comes development of the Gestalt-therapy, in Brazil. This work contributes not only to clarify the historical legacy of Gestalt-therapy, but also to reflect on their social and political perspectives. Thus, from a critical eye on contributions, possibilities and perspectives, the study corroborates with the solidification of the epistemological studies of gestalt approach.

Full textAbstract:
Gestalt therapy constitutes itself as a dialogical psychotherapy, a clinic of engagement.Empirical research on the dialogical existentialism-gestalt psychotherapy interface is scarce.Considering the dialogical relation as the axis of this approach, the objective was to understand the experiences of psychology professionals regarding the dialogical relation in gestalt therapy.As a methodological resource, we used the qualitative research of a phenomenological method, with a semiotic orientation.Open phenomenological interviews were carried out with five collaborators.The data were recorded and transcribed in full.The analysis was based on phenomenological reflexivity, through description, reduction, and interpretation.Results indicate the opening, presence, and use of epoché by the therapist as fundamental elements for the dialogical relation.Positive I-You attitude experiences have been found, suggesting culminating episodes of this process.There was confusion between the concept of I-You attitude and I-You moments, with an appreciation of this principle to the detriment of the I-It attitude, which evidences the need to rethink the formation of the gestalt therapist. Thus, the dialogical relation in gestalt therapy presents itself as a field of phenomenal pluralities.It is up to the professional to thread carefully and attentively in this field of innumerable possibilities.

Eating disorders are nowadays a group of diseases that affects an important amount of the population, specifically teenagers. Its symptomatology points to the necessity of a straight contact with the experimental reality of the subject that suffer these disorders. The conception of human being to Gestalt-therapy is a particular, concrete, unique, conscious, responsible and relational being. This article has the objective of discussing and taking a look over the eating disorders, presenting Gestalt-therapy as approach that owns privileged resources to deal with this kind of manifestation, from a perception of the disease as contextualized and of the subject as a being-in-the-world.

The paper analyzes social work integrating the principles of Gestalt therapy, such as dialogue and phenomenological approach, internalization, responsibility and creative adaptation. The main perspectives of Gestalt therapy, which are related to the cases of social work, contexts and possibilities of therapeutic work, are highlighted. The article also reveals obstacles (e.g. dominant, patronizing, controlling and expert model of client assistance, isolated and restricted by directives the reality of social work, institutionalized social work practices and bureaucratic dependence of social security) that impede the development of therapeutic social work in Lithuania. It can be argued that the perspective for Gestalt therapies is available to social workers who seek therapeutic social work practice methodologies, help relationships, and empower clients for change.

Gestalt therapy is similar to an Aboriginal worldview in that they both involve a holistic approach and focus on health and wellness strategies. The Aboriginal worldview is best portrayed as holistic in nature, where the circle of wellness symbolizes unity, wholeness, completeness, and balance. Dream work is a therapeutic technique utilized in Gestalt therapy that could be very useful for Aboriginal peoples given their spiritual and narrative way of being. This article demonstrates the cultural acceptability for utilization of dream work in Gestalt with Aboriginal clients. Furthermore, it discusses both strengths and limitations of this modality of therapy. Implications for use are also discussed.

Summary The present work focuses on the transformations of the psychotherapeutic field through the relationship dynamics that occur within it. The first part of this article starts with a brief outline of the Gestalt psychological understanding of the field concept, also in its application to the psychotherapeutic situation, followed by a brief review of the introduction of the field concept into the psychoanalytic theory formation. After this, the first author first presents the theoretical concept underlying a new approach he has developed for observing the relationship dynamics in psychotherapy. Mirroring a formation both psychoanalytic and gestaltic of the main author, this new approach is based on the combination of psychoanalytic and Gestalt psychological concepts. According to the clinical experience and insights of the author, the phenomenological and relational approach of Gestalt theory fits well with the psychoanalytic approach; on this basis, a criterion for recording the progress of therapy can be developed. This criterion is the phenomenology of the development of the qualities of the relationships of the client, as they become visible in his dream narrations and the subsequent associations in the analysis room, and continue to develop during the session and the further course of therapy. The relationship dynamics in the dream narration is thus compared with those that develop in the course of the subsequent associations. This is demonstrated and further elaborated in the second part of this paper on the basis of a clinical case. The clinical example shows how the relationship dynamics develop in this sense in the individual therapy sessions and over a longer course of therapy. The associated transformations of the therapeutic field give a good indication of the progress of therapy. The main author gained such insights into the transformations of the therapeutic field and the progression of therapy, which are visible in the course of therapy, from the careful application of the criterion “manifest dream/associations comparison of relational dynamics”. In the specific case, there was also a high degree of correspondence between the results of the application of this phenomenological criterion and the empirical evidence of the symptom questionnaire, a self-report measure requested by the patient himself during the course of the therapy.

This paper briefly examines some elements of Gestalt therapy within a person-centred approach to counselling. Specific elements of the Gestalt process are examined in the context of facilitating a therapeutic relationship with a person with profound learning and physical disabilities. These elements are ‘sensation’ and ‘awareness’. In the context of ‘helping’ people with profound disabilities, sensation and awareness are elements of the Gestalt process, which can facilitate expression of emotion without speech. Other elements may require some verbalization. A personal interaction with a woman who has profound learning and physical disabilities is briefly described, in order to illustrate how the Gestalt approach can provide a vehicle for the experiencing, communication and liberation of ‘self’, without dependence upon verbal communication.

Full textAbstract:
In a games-based approach, the idea of understanding is located within the concept of games as decision-laden, problem-solving contexts. However, the concept of “understanding” is largely implicit in much of the germane literature. We are arguing for a more deliberate framework to approach the concept of understanding. We propose that the game-based approach to teaching physical education can be underpinned by the Gestalt psychological theoretical principles to provide students with more meaningful engagement in the process of learning to play games. The Gestalt psychological principles underpin the learning of games and sport through the Principle of Totality and the Principle of Psychological Isomorphism (Reproductive Thinking). The Gestalt psychological principles are underpinned by meaning-making, which is proposed as much “deeper” knowledge, developed over time, involving reflection, and agency. Although game-based approaches provide an alternative to technical and mechanical (progressive part) notions of what players need toknowanddoto be “skilled players,” in this paper, we question whether game-based approaches also encompasshowstudents in physical education are learning with understanding.

The present study it is part of a research that enclosed the dissolution of the couple for the death of one of the spouses, and the benefits reached with psychotherapy on Gestalt approach for bereaved patients. The objective of this article is to focus the experiences of a person dealing with mourning for the death of his/her spouse. Besides, it intends to investigate whether a widower may obtain benefits with psychotherapy on Gestalt approach. The phenomenological qualitative methodology is followed, in accordance with the proposal of Amedeo Giorgi (1985). There were made interviews, that had been recorded, transcribed and analyzed, in the four steps proposed by Giorgi (1985). The presented data refer to the experience of one of the collaborators of the research. She obtained losses and benefits with the death of the husband and the psychotherapy contributed for the confrontation and resolution of bereavement, above all as a support to the widower, by cooperating so that him/her would achieve experiences ressignification, and rescue the personal care, and interest in life.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Higher education policy increasingly conceptualizes industry-linked, service, and place-based forms of education in terms of experiential education. Although potentially promising, this turn toward experience risks instrumentalizing and marketizing experience, which is exacerbated by individualized theories of experiential learning. Purpose: Some scholars have therefore called for more sociological accounts of experiential learning, inviting deeper consideration of how individual experience is connected to social, cultural, or environmental factors. Methodology/Approach: This article responds to that call by explicating the praxis of Gestalt therapy, often associated with the individualistic human potential movement, but which nevertheless offers a framework for reconceptualizing theory and pedagogy of experiential education in more sociological terms. A brief history of Gestalt therapy foregrounding its sociological and experiential basis is followed by explanation of the three pillars of Gestalt therapy (commitment to dialogue, phenomenology, and field theory). Findings/Conclusions: This framework is shown to support a more sociologically oriented theory and praxis of experiential education that also integrates divergent understandings of experience. Implications: Given the turn toward experience in higher education and contemporary flourishing of cooperative social processes in general, defining experiential education more explicitly in terms of Gestalt praxis promises a timely enhancement of both, in the service of socially responsible objectives.

This article intends to think about difficulties and possible ways to Gestalt Therapy’s practical clinic, searching for a phenomenological and dialogical approach to client’s experience. Analogically considering the image of a house, studies the clinical situation as an opportunity for the psychotherapist to access the client’s subjective world and find ways of touching the client through his symptoms, experiences and beliefs, linking all of them to a process of explanation and understanding of its meanings. Finally, wonders about language’s function to reframe experiences and feelings dealt during psychotherapy, emphasizing the need of thinking on the whole person, considering his integrality.

SummaryThis paper starts with a short review of recent developments in psychotherapy process research and analyzes that a medical, or better, technical approach in process research – using words such as ‘intervention’, ‘effect’ and ‘outcome’ – is gradually acknowledged as only one side of psychotherapy; the other, more human or ‘humanistic’ side, is ‘conversation’, described by prominent authors as ‘low technology’. Conversation analysis cannot study psychotherapy as a whole. Sessions are subdivided into ‘situations’. What are situations? I make a proposal to answer this question by three components: open up, select and control options. Then, 11 transcribed extracts from psychoanalytical therapy sessions are used to describe three types of situations and the special kind of requirements they demand from a therapist. Obviously, such situations appear during a session, they can be handled if therapists are sensitized for certain difficulties to arise. Shift-of-situation and double meaning are new observations in this approach to define the situational gestalt and train ‘seeing’ it.

The here presented example shows how psychotherapy intervention is considered nowadays as a co-creation of the contact-boundary between therapist and client, a remake of the client's painful relational schemas, more than as a way of integrating disowned aspects of the client. This new view of gestalt therapy clinical work allows us to develop procedural and relational aspects which characterize this approach since its origins, while other approaches are discovering them now.Key words: co-creation, resilience, introjection, intentionality for contact, obsessivecompulsive, now-for-next, empty chair.Parole chiave: Co-creazione, confine di contatto, resilienza, introiezione, intenzionalitŕ di contatto, ossessivo-compulsivo, now-for-next, sedia vuota.

Full textAbstract:
In the past decade, biological nurturing and activation of maternal and infant instincts after birth have constituted a major advance in clinical breastfeeding support. Yet, physiologic breastfeeding initiation is not enough to ensure ongoing pain-free and effective breastfeeding for many pairs. Current interventions, including “hands-off” mammalian approaches, do not improve breastfeeding outcomes, including in randomized controlled trials. Back-arching, difficulty latching or staying on the breast, and fussing at the breast are common signs of infant positional instability during breastfeeding. These cues are, however, often misdiagnosed as signs of medical conditions or oral connective tissue abnormalities, and underlying positional instability is not addressed. New clinical approaches are urgently required. This article offers a clinical approach to fit and hold (or latch and positioning)— gestalt breastfeeding, which aims to optimize positional stability and intraoral breast tissue volumes for pain-free effective breastfeeding. The word gestalt (pronounced “ger-shtolt”) means a whole that is more than the sum of its parts. Gestalt breastfeeding builds on the theoretical foundations of complexity science, physiologic breastfeeding initiation, and new understandings of the biomechanics of infant suck elucidated in ultrasound studies. It also integrates simple psychological strategies from applied functional contextualism, popularly known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, empowering women to attend mindfully to breast sensations and their infant’s cues. Gestalt breastfeeding can be reproduced for research purposes, including in comparison studies with oral surgery, and has the potential to improve breastfeeding outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The Jewish-German-Hungarian director and playwright George Tabori has been one of the prominent figures of German-speaking theatre over the past thirty years. Outside Germany, Tabori is best known as the author of provocative Holocaust drama, such as The Cannibals (1968) and Mein Kampf (1987). But as a director Tabori has produced an equally impressive body of work, with ground-breaking productions of Shakespeare, Beckett, and Kafka. Tabori's promotion of theatre as therapy and his unusual actor-centred approach to rehearsal earned his work a ‘somewhat dubious’ reputation of being closely related to psychotherapeutic activity. In this article, Antje Diedrich seeks to clarify the extent to which there are concrete intersections and parallels of thought between Gestalt therapy and Tabori's early theatre practice. She identifies the influence of works by Frederick S. Perls and John O. Stevens on Tabori's discourse on acting and rehearsal practice, and concludes with a discussion of Sigmunds Freude (1975), a production based on protocols of Gestalt therapeutic sessions by Frederick S. Perls. Antje Diedrich works as a Lecturer in European Theatre Arts at Rose Bruford College in London. She has completed a PhD thesis about George Tabori's theatre practice and is currently working on further articles about Tabori's work as a director and playwright.

This article reports on the information gathering and synthesis phase of an intervention research process. The aim was to obtain the views of professionals working in the field of child sexual abuse (CSA) in South Africa on family play therapy. This article outlines the findings based on data gathered from focus groups with professionals. Data were analysed and four themes emerged. The first theme centred on the importance of moving increasingly to systemic approaches in the context of CSA. Theme 2 outlined the views of professionals on inadequate knowledge and skills to engage in family play therapy. The third theme expanded on a family play therapy framework with suggestions that gestalt therapy theory can be valuable. Theme 4 pointed to a structured an individualised approach with a helping process where there is a balance between process goals and problem goals.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to compare the newly developed psychological intervention method by the first author, named data-focused approach, to the more classical process-oriented approaches, i.e. gestalt, psychodynamics, and interactional group psychotherapies. Pretest-posttest design was used. Twenty-one participants were assigned into four experimental groups. Measures used were self-regulation, emotional awareness, and meta-emotion scales as well as stated agenda on interpersonal relationship. They were administered before and after therapy sessions. Results indicated that the new method evidently was compatible to the classical psychotherapy approaches. Specifically, participants in the data-focused approach were satisfied with the aiming behavioral change in their interpersonal relationship. The new approach is effective to be applied in the group processes. Thus, this new method is also recommended to be studied in other settings. Using simplified procedure, it is hoped that other professionals, like medical doctor, nurse, midwife, women activists in public health centers may use it to serve better the community.

Full textAbstract:
The article reveals the problems of emotional bonds restoration in the family system. Possibilities are analyzed of the systematic approach in the family psychotherapy. The example is given of work with the family system whose members have an addictive behavior. Symptoms of dysfunctions of family relationships are summarized. The goals of psychotherapy are indicated with the family and with each family member. The possibilities are analyzed of these problems solving. Meaningful relationships are specified in resolving the problem of restoration of emotional bonds between family members. The use of art therapy methods is illustrated in the strategy of restoration of the personal boundaries of family members. Changes are analyzed in family functions in the process of psychotherapeutic sessions. Methods of work in the gestalt therapy and the dialogue-phenomenological approach are proposed. The method of own life history description allows its reviewing in different ways. The narrative method activates changes in the awareness of context of life problems.

Full textAbstract:
Eating disorders (EDs) require a multidisciplinary approach, rather than a hammer-and-nail perspective. Based upon recent research and more than a decade of clinical experience, this article highlights the need to include a trauma-informed and dissociation-sensitive treatment of EDs. The emphasis is on EDs as a dissociative coping strategy, created in many cases to tolerate the intolerable. Ego state therapy, Gestalt principles, and empty chair technique support the adaptive information processing (AIP) of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in both metabolizing painful experiences that give rise to EDs and in loosening the stranglehold of anxiety and shame. The acronym RUG-C introduces four universal principles in working with ego states: recognition, understanding, gratitude and goal setting, and collaboration. Relational ruptures between ego states/parts of the client (intrapsychic) and between the client and the world (interpersonal) are created in the client’s efforts to deal with painful experiences both large and small. They are repaired in the therapeutic relationship, in the processing of past trauma, and in the rescue of body image from the power of shame. Three case reports, with transcripts, are provided to illustrate conceptualization and its application.

Our purpose in this paper is to assess a debate regarding retroflection as a constant contact interruption in contemporanity. We intend to approach the subject in question by taking Gestalt-therapy as main theoretical reference and evoking authors whom exam contemporanity, such as Guy Debord and Stuart Hall. Retroflection is understood as an interruption of the creative adjustment that obstructs contact when it comes to interaction, which means, the individual dismiss contact with others, instead of interacting he turns to himself the energy that would otherwise flow to the relation. This dynamic seems to evolve a kind of individualism present and valued in contemporanity world: self-sufficiency, self-control, permanent urge for activity and being busy, belief that others are not available and therefore: “I must solve my problems on my own, I can handle it alone”. The power of achievement and success create part of the contemporanity set, which detains the consumerism - a vehicle for spectacle - that disguise the emptiness and loneliness.

Background/Aim. In (counter)transference relationship therapist?s interpersonal style, implying the perceived relation of therapist to a client (patient) in terms of control, autonomy, care and positive feedback, has been shown to be important. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between therapist?s interpersonal style and clients? personality self-reports. Within therapist?s interpersonal style, preliminary validation of the Therapist?s Interpersonal Style Scale has been conducted, which included double translation method, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, as well as the reliability tests of the derived components. Methods. This research was conducted on a group of 206 clients, attending one of the four psychotherapy modalities: psychoanalysis, gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioral and systemic family therapy. Beside Therapist?s Interpersonal Style Scale, Big Five Questionnaire and Therapy Benefit Scale were administered, showing good internal consistency. Results. Principal component analysis of therapist?s interpersonal style singled out two components Supportive Autonomy and Ignoring Control, explaining 42% of variance. Two-factor model of the therapist?s styles was better fitted in confirmatory factor analysis than the original 4-factor model. Structural model showing indirect and direct effects of therapist?s interpersonal styles on selfreports in clients indicates good fitness (?2(12) = 8.932, p = 0.709; goodness-of-fit index = 0.989), with Ignoring Control having direct effect on Stability, Supportive Autonomy on Therapy Benefit, and Therapy Benefit on Plasticity. Conclusion. The results of this study indicate the importance of further research on therapist?s interpersonal style, as well as further validation of the instrument that measures this construct. Besides, a client?s perception that the therapy is being helpful could instigate more explorative and approach-oriented behavior, what indirectly might contribute to a client?s stability.

Full textAbstract:
Ayahuasca is a psychoactive drink of Amazonian origin prepared from vine known as jagube and/or mariri (Banisteriopsis caapi) and chacrona bush (Psychotria viridis). Its cultural and ritualistic use have been recognized from millennia by indigenous ethnic groups in the Western Amazon and gained worldwide influence in the 1980s through the expansion of it religious use. In the biomedical field, studies have attested the safety in the administration of the beverage in humans and found features of physical and mental wellbeing on users. This article aims to discuss the results of a research that investigated life histories of people with therapeutic itineraries connected to the ritualistic use of ayahuasca, from a phenomenological-existential understanding and gestalt-therapy approach. The methodology was based on a phenomenological stance and in life history method, enabling an apprehension of lived experience of the rituals. Thus, it was verified that the ritualistic experiences and the therapeutic itineraries contributed in the participants' recognition that health is a posture of maturity or wisdom associated to their relations with the world, attributing to ayahuasca the capacity to operate re-significations in the daily process of self-care and, above all, in love of oneself.

Full textAbstract:
The Central Governor Model (CGM) ignited a paradigm shift from concepts of catastrophic failure towards central regulation of exercise performance. However, the CGM has focused on the central integration of afferent feedback in homeostatic control. Accordingly, it neglected the important role of volitional self-regulatory control and the integration of affective components inherently attached to all physiological cues. Another limitation is the large reliance on the Gestalt phenomenon of perceived exertion. Thus, progress towards a comprehensive multidimensional model of perceived fatigability and exercise regulation is needed. Drawing on Gate Control Theory of pain, we propose a three-dimensional framework of centrally regulated and goal-directed exercise behaviour, which differentiates between sensory, affective and cognitive processes shaping the perceptual milieu during exercise. We propose that: (A) perceived mental strain and perceived physical strain are primary determinants of pacing behaviour reflecting sensory-discriminatory processes necessary to align planned behaviour with current physiological state, (B) core affect plays a primary and mediatory role in exercise and performance regulation, and its underlying two dimensions hedonicity and arousal reflect affective-motivational processes triggering approach and avoidance behaviour, and (C) the mindset-shift associated with an action crisis plays a primary role in volitional self-regulatory control reflecting cognitive-evaluative processes between further goal-pursuit and goal-disengagement. The proposed framework has the potential to enrich theory development in centrally regulated and goal-directed exercise behaviour by emphasising the multidimensional dynamic processes underpinning perceived fatigability and provides a practical outline for investigating the complex interplay between the psychophysiological determinants of pacing and performance during prolonged endurance exercise.

AbstractBackground:Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an adverse drug reaction mediated by platelet-activating antibodies that target complexes of platelet factor 4 and heparin. Patients are at markedly increased risk of thromboembolism.Objective:These evidence-based guidelines of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) are intended to support patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals in their decisions about diagnosis and management of HIT.Methods:ASH formed a multidisciplinary guideline panel balanced to minimize potential bias from conflicts of interest. The McMaster University GRADE Centre supported the guideline development process, including updating or performing systematic evidence reviews. The panel prioritized clinical questions and outcomes according to their importance for clinicians and patients. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess evidence and make recommendations, which were subject to public comment.Results:The panel agreed on 33 recommendations. The recommendations address screening of asymptomatic patients for HIT, diagnosis and initial management of patients with suspected HIT, treatment of acute HIT, and special situations in patients with acute HIT or a history of HIT, including cardiovascular surgery, percutaneous cardiovascular intervention, renal replacement therapy, and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis.Conclusions:Strong recommendations include use of the 4Ts score rather than a gestalt approach for estimating the pretest probability of HIT and avoidance of HIT laboratory testing and empiric treatment of HIT in patients with a low-probability 4Ts score. Conditional recommendations include the choice among non-heparin anticoagulants (argatroban, bivalirudin, danaparoid, fondaparinux, direct oral anticoagulants) for treatment of acute HIT.

The efficacy of acute therapies for migraine can be measured in many ways. Traditional endpoints (such as reduction in pain from moderate or severe to mild or absent) are used for regulatory purposes, but do not reflect all components of the migraine syndrome, nor, necessarily, what is most valued by patients and clinicians. There is also a pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic disconnection for these traditional types of endpoint, suggesting that they teach us little about how these drugs work. More rigorous, but nonetheless pain-score based, endpoints are reviewed. The biases that can attach to measures such as therapeutic gain and number needed to treat, in the context of migraine therapy, and the limitations of these measures for use in meta-analysis, are discussed. The clinical subtleties of these endpoints are numerous: understanding patients' ability to distinguish between multiple headache types, the best timing of treatment relative to the start of an attack, and measuring clinical outcome may be statistically difficult, but yet may also provide more clinical utility than pain-score analyses. The three therapeutic strategies ( Step, Stepped-within-attack, and Stratified care) are reviewed and the place of 5HT1B/1D agonists within them, based on the currently best available evidence, is identified. Consideration should be given to more real-life studies, to measuring drug efficacy after early administration during onset of headache, and to greater sophistication in our approach to the necessarily gestalt measures of patient satisfaction and treatment preference.

Abstract Purpose To measure the effect of a 2-day sleepcoaching seminar on daytime sleepiness and sleep-related variables of shift workers employed in an Austrian railway company (ÖBB: Österreichische Bundesbahnen). Method Participants filled in pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, containing items of the PSQI and the ESS, questions about chronotype, personality factors and possible burnout risk factors. About 30 shift workers, working in shifts for more than 300 months on average (28 male; mean age = 24 ± 45.90, age range 24–56 years) voluntarily took part in the investigation twice. Sleep coaching by Holzinger and Kloesch™ (SC) is a new holistic approach for non-pharmacological treatment of non-restorative sleep and is based on Gestalt therapy. It includes psychotherapeutic aspects, which enable clients to improve their sleep quality by developing one’s own coping strategies which can be implemented in daily routine. Dream work and relaxation techniques are also part of the programme. Results The 2-day SC seminar was beneficial by focusing on the sleep problems related to shift work. A significant improvement of the global PSQI score and the PSQI variables subjective sleep quality, diurnal fatigue, and sleep latency was achieved, with a medium effect size. However, the programme did not result in the reduction of daytime sleepiness (ESS). Six more variables did not change significantly. Conclusion While some sleep problems related to shift work were successfully addressed by SC, daytime sleepiness (ESS) could not be reduced contrary to our expectations. More research with a greater sample and a longitudinal design is needed to examine the long-term effects of SC.

Dream work and relaxation techniques are also part of the programme. The aim of this study was to measure the effectiveness of a two-day sleep coaching seminar on sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and work and life quality in shift workers employed in an Austrian railway company (Österreichische Bundesbahnen, ÖBB). Thirty shift workers (28 male; mean age=24±45.90, age range 24–56 years) answered the same survey before and six months after the seminar (baseline and follow-up) containing items of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), their chronotype, personality factors, and burnout risk factors. The baseline findings in this group were compared with those of non-completers (who did not take the follow-up survey) (N=154) to see if the two groups differed significantly enough to create a bias among completers (who took the follow-up survey as well). Groups differed significantly in burnout levels as well as sleep duration, but not in the distribution of critical PSQI and ESS values. The two-day sleep coaching seminar resulted in a significant improvement in total PSQI score and subjective sleep quality and in a significant reduction in diurnal fatigue, sleep latency, and daytime sleepiness. Nevertheless, more research with a larger sample and a longitudinal design is needed to establish the long-term effects of sleep coaching.

The article investigates the problem of informational-psychological safety of educators. The main focus in the study is based on the organization of the resources and barriers on the resilience approach at online learning for primary school teachers. The study describes open questions of psychological and didactic readiness of primary school teachers in a situation of compulsory online learning. Also, it characterizes the orientations of their solution which are outlined through the prism of the analysis of researches carried out on the basis of Scientific Centers «Institute of Practical Psychology and Psychotherapy» and «Sanogenic Pedagogy and Psychology» at the National University of Ostroh Academy. It is emphasized that the unpreparedness for the innovative activity of teachers at the initial stages of the introduction of educational reforms and the importance of developing their personal readiness for change, in the first place. Also, highlighted is the relevance of the formation of emotional competence of teachers through the virtue of specific problem-solving and the prevention of emotional burnout of teachers. In the text, the main difficulties of teachers in the conditions of online learning is delineated. Also particularly described are their main needs, such as: technical support; interpersonal relationships with colleagues and parents; fear of self-presentation in an online space. Also, the author’s attention concentrates on the importance of teachers developing adaptive and emotional resources, the formation of their digital competence, their development of media literacy, sanogenic and critical thinking to confront negatively colored information factors, as well as the organization of their information-psychological safety. In the context of the resilience approach, the author’s attention is focused on the constructs of informational-psychological safety as emotional intelligence, critical and sanogenic thinking, pedagogical reflection and media literacy. An algorithm is also proposed for the formation of psychological stability of teachers in the online space in the context of the function of psychological defense mechanisms. Additionally presented are vectors for solving these problems through the prism of the resilience approach. The main focus is on the methods of development within the constructs of information-psychological safety as emotional intelligence, critical and sanogenic thinking and pedagogical reflection. It represents effective programs for their optimization. In particular, the program “Emotional first aid kit” (polish authors – S. Veshkhovska and E. Nervinska), which is formed on the basis of two scientific concepts: the concept of positive psychology M. Selligman and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction authored by J. Kabat Zinna, and the program «Reboot +» for educators (author – G. Handzilevska), whose main task is to restore and develop the resources of the professional script of teachers in measuring the correction of script settings. It suggests an algorithm for the development of the resilience of teachers in the online space in the context of healthy functions of psychological mechanisms on the tasks of Gestalt therapy, which includes the development of emotional-volitional, intellectual, moral and creative-volitional resources. Metaphorically, the tactics of recovery and the development of psychological resources in the dimension of information-psychological safety are defined as «Faith», «Hope», «Love» and «Wisdom». To summarize, each stage should be accompanied by a set of exercises aimed at preventing emotional burnout through the development of sanogenic and critical thinking, emotional intelligence and the correction of scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
Earlier, scientists believed that sleep is necessary for the "rest" of brain neurons, and therefore sleep should be characterized by a decrease in the activity of brain neurons during this period. However, studies of the electrical activity of individual brain neurons during sleep have shown that during sleep, overall, there is no decrease in the average frequency of neuronal activity compared to the state of restful wakefulness. Currently, sleep research and diagnosis of its pathologies are performed using polysomnography, a system of recording brain activity (EEG), eye movements, muscle activity or skeletal muscle activation (EMG), and heart rate (ECG). During sleep, the metabolic processes in the cerebral cortex do not fall (slow sleep phase); as one would expect, but instead they grow (in the fast-sleep phase), resulting in the sleeping person's brain consuming more oxygen than the human being in a state of alertness. In general, a person's dream has a proper cyclic organization. Electroencephalographic analysis of night sleep allows distinguishing five stages. The first four refer to the slow phase of sleep, the fifth to the fast. The peculiarity of the interpretation of dreams is the first science known by Z. Freud. His theory has a reverse temporal direction toward childhood experiences and childhood suppressed desires. In the Jungian approach, the overall function of dreams is to try to restore our mental balance through the production of dream material, which restores - in a very delicate way - a wholesome mental balance. In the framework of Gestalt Therapy by F. Perls he believed that in order to understand the meaning of dreams, it was better not to interpret it. Given that dreaming is a projection where all the actors and objects that appear in it are the dreamer, it is more appropriate to find feelings about the objects and subjects of sleep. Therefore, it can be argued that the human brain is active during sleep, although this activity is qualitatively different than during the state, and in different stages of sleep has its specificity. Since the formation and development of Freud's views, dreams have been recognized by psychotherapists as an essential key on the path from unconscious material to the achievement of human integrity.

Zusammenfassung Die Optimierung der motorischen Leistung und die Einbindung und Vernetzung bisher nicht verwendeter motorischer Einheiten sowie die vermehrte Ausschüttung neurotropher Faktoren sind zentrale Mechanismen der Vibrationswirkung, die therapeutisch auf einzelne Körperteile oder den gesamten Körper angewendet werden können. Eine Möglichkeit, die Frühmobilisation bei kritisch kranken Patienten effektiver zu gestalten und immobilitätsbedingten Veränderungen vorzubeugen, könnte die Verwendung des Vibramoov™-Systems sein. Gezielt programmierte Vibrationssequenzen stimulieren hier das Nervensystem mit sensorischen Informationen, die die Empfindung einer Bewegung nachahmen (z. B. des Gehens) und somit Regenerations- und Reor-ganisationsprozesse im zentralen Nervensystem unterstützen können. Von Bedeutung ist dieser Therapieansatz vor allem bei Patienten, bei denen aufgrund ihres Zustandes konventionelle Maßnahmen nicht oder nur eingeschränkt durchgeführt werden können. Da bisher keine Erfah-rungen zur Anwendung bei intensivpflichtigen Patienten verfügbar sind, wurde eine Pilotstudie durchgeführt mit der Fragestellung, ob diese Therapieform sicher ist und im normalen Betrieb auf der Intensivstation verwendet werden kann. Die Ergebnisse der Pilotstudie mit fünf Patienten zei-gen, dass die Anwendung von Vibramoov™ zu keiner wesentlichen Veränderung kardiopulmo-naler Parameter im Sinne einer Non-Toleranz führte und im klinischen Setting gut umsetzbar war. Schlüsselwörter: Frührehabilitation, Imagination von Bewegung, Intensivstation, Vibramoov™ Imagination of movement through vibrational stimuli – a new approach to early mobilization in intensive care units? A pilot study Abstract The optimization of motor performance and the integration and networking of previously unused motor units, as well as the increased release of neurotrophic factors, are central mechanisms related to the vibration effect that can be applied therapeutically to individual parts of the body or to the entire body. One way to make early mobilization more effective in critically ill patients and to prevent changes due to immobility could be rehabilitation with functional proprioceptive stimulation, also known as “illusory movement”. Specifically programmed vibration sequences stimulate the nervous system with sensory information that mimics the sensation of movement (e. g., walking) and can thus support regeneration and reorganization processes in the central nervous system. This therapeutic approach is particularly important for patients who, due to their condition, cannot – or only to a limited extent – carry out conventional measures. Since no experience has so far been available for use in intensive care patients, we carried out a pilot study to answer the question of whether this form of therapy can be used safely and in normal operations in the intensive care unit. The results of the pilot study with 5 patients showed that the use of Vibramoov™ did not lead to any significant change in cardiopulmonary parameters in terms of non-tolerance and was easy to implement in a clinical setting. Keywords: early rehabilitation, illusory movements, ICU, functional proprio-ceptive stimulation

Utilisation of forgiveness within a pastoral Gestalt therapeutic intervention This article is based on a pastoral base theory within the Gestalt therapeutic perspective to guide abused persons in their utilisation of forgiveness as a source of a recovery experience. The formation of the paradigm is based on a multidisciplinary approach, which takes place on the interface between pastoral counselling and Gestalt therapy without the unique content and character of pastoral care or the Gestalt therapy being lost. It appears that forgiveness, as a source of repair experience, can guide abused persons to psychological and physical health, positive emotions and healthy social interaction. Forgiveness can be defined as the unconditional acceptance of God’s grace through faith, and release (surrender) of an offender to the mercy of God. It does not deny the pain or change the past, but it breaks the cycle of bitterness that abused people associate with the pain of the past. Through the use of forgiveness as a coping mechanism abused people can be guided to handle unfinished business.

Gestalt therapists believe that their task is to help their clients to experience repressed, ambivalent, and unpleasant things in order to accept and implement them in their whole self. To implement those ‘things’, those elements of the self, they need to be uncovered first, which is a process that often is achieved by dream work, as messages from the unconscious that are stuck in our dreams can be revealed by certain Gestalt-therapy methods. The method in focus is the newly developed DreamSenseMemory technique which is based on neurological findings on how the senses at play influence memory processing. Dream work with the DreamSenseMemory method has the advantage that by using this method on a regular basis, dream content will not only be remembered more often but also in more detail. Thus, effectively supporting dream work and its process of understanding the message of the unconscious, accepting the elements withing and implementing them in the self.
