Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapists use experiential techniques—such as dialogue, experiments, and attention to body processes—to help clients deepen awareness and integrate disowned or fragmented parts of the self. Our resources can help you learn how to bring clients into the here-and-now to stay present while working elevating ordinary conversations into life-affirming encounters.
Psychotherapy with the Unmotivated Patient
Renowned therapist and teacher Erving Polster artfully and adeptly applies his trade with Gerald, the type of client we have all struggled with—bright, cynical, emotionally detached, overly intellectual, and seemingly determined to defeat this therapist as he has previous ones. Watch as Polster continuously engage Gerald in here-and-now interactions, matching wits, joining him with humor, and challenging his defenses with a delicate balance of confrontation and empathy.
