Introduction to Gestalt Therapy
Saturday and Sunday, June 7 & 8, 2008Co-directors Mary Lou Schack, Philip Lichtenberg, David Henrich and the faculty of the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Philadelphia invite you to join them in an introductory workshop on the theory and practice of Gestalt Therapy.
Gestalt Therapy is a holistic, growth- oriented and relational psychotherapy, emphasizing personal responsibility. This humanistic approach to healing promotes growth through self-awareness. It encourages creative, first person dialogue between client and therapist, in which the experience of each is made clear, and it promotes being in the here and now with openness and confidence. Gestalt Therapy theory always supports the client in his or her own cultural identity, while recognizing the possible consequences and conflicts of being who they are in the broader culture.
The workshop includes discussion of the theory and demonstrations of the therapeutic process by involving workshop participants. Review of the demonstrations will further illuminate the theory.
Participants will be able to observe the different styles of each GTIP Director in applying Gestalt Therapy theory and will obtain a preview of what occurs in our Three-Year Training Program. The next class begins in September 2008.
