Gestalt Therapy: Approaches and Applications for Various Disorders and Contexts

Description

It is with great satisfaction that I present the book “Gestalt Therapy: Approaches and Applications for Various Disorders and Contexts”. This book is the result of an extensive collaboration between mental health experts and Gestalt scholars.Gestalt Therapy has been widely recognized as an effective approach to a variety of mental disorders, and this book provides an overview of the specific techniques used in Gestalt Therapy, including behavior therapy, cognitive restructuring, and systematic desensitization. Furthermore, the book explores how Gestalt Therapy can be applied in different contexts, such as individual therapy, group therapy, online therapy, and couple and family therapy.Chapters cover diverse topics, from adapting Gestalt Therapy for children and adolescents to its application in eating disorders and sleep disorders. Issues relevant to the LGBTQIA+ population and the possibility of a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of mental disorders are also discussed.I believe this book will be a valuable source of information for therapists, students and researchers interested in improving their practices and expanding their knowledge about Gestalt Therapy and its application in different disorders and contexts.Finally, I would like to thank all the authors involved in this project, whose hard work and dedication made this book possible. I hope that you, the readers, can find insights and ideas in this work that can contribute to improving your clinical practice.
