Gestalt-groepterapie met vroëe adolessente na die dood van 'n ouer en die benuttingswaarde van 'scrapbooking' as hulpmiddelHamman, Tarien 30 November 2007 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The death of a parent is one of the most meaningful experiences in life. When the child in mourning is not given a proper chance to grieve, there could be complications later in life. In this study scrapbooking, as a tool in Gestalt group work, was utilised to assist three pre-adolescents after the death of a parent. The goal of this research was to determine whether scrapbooking could be successfully used with in the grieving stages after the death of a parent.
The social caracter of scrapbooking makes this relevant to the pre-adolescent stage as the need to socialize is of great importance. From the results of this study, scrapbooking can be recommended to therapists to be used as a tool in assisting children during the grieving process. / Die dood van cn ouer blyk een van die mees betekenisvolle gebeure in die mens se
lewe te wees. Wanneer die kind in ruil nie die geleentheid gegun word om op haar eie
tyd en manier te rou nie, kan latere komplikasies na vore tree. In hierdie studie is
scrapbooking as hulpmiddel in Gestalt-groepwerk met drie vroee adolessente benut
om van hulp te wees na die afsterwe van 'n ouer. Die doel van die navorsing was om
te bepaal of scrapbooking wel suksesvol op die wyse in die rou-proses gebruik kan
word.
Die sosiale komponent van scrapbooking behels die saamwees en saamwerk aan 'n
scrapboek met 'n gemeenskaplike tema. Aangesien vroee adolessensie 'n
ontwikkelingstadium is waar die sosiale komponent belangrik is, is die navorser van
mening dat scrapbooking juis om die rede sal kan werk om verligting te bied na die
afsterwe van 'n ouer. Scrapbooking word aanbeveel om tot hulp te wees om die
rouproses te vergemaklik. / Social Work / MDIAC (Play Therapy)

The handling of aggression in therapy from a Gestalt perspectiveRichardson, Nicola 30 November 2007 (has links)
This qualitative study aimed to explore how to handle aggression in therapy from
a Gestalt perspective. In order to reach the aim of this study a conceptual
framework was done exploring terms central to this project including aggression
and Gestalt Play therapy. Unstructured, telephonic interviews were then
conducted with seven Gestalt Play therapists working with children in the
Western Cape exploring ways to handle and treat aggression in therapy. The
data collected during these interviews were then analyzed and several themes
were identified and explored by conducting a literature control. Guidelines were
then formulated and written on how to handle aggression in therapy from a
Gestalt perspective as part of the concluding chapter of this research report. / Social Work / M. Diac (Play Therapy)

The integration of gestalt play therapy in occupational therapy: a needs assessmentFourie, Natasja 30 November 2005 (has links)
Many fields of interest, of which Pediatrics is one, exist in Occupational Therapy. In the field of Pediatrics there are also diversity fields of interest. Many diagnostic groups are treated in the field of Pediatric Occupational Therapy. The traditional Pediatric Occupational Therapy process aims at treating the child holistically with regards to his cognitive, perceptual, motor and emotional areas of development. It seems that there is a tendency to focus on the more tangible aspects of development rather than the less visible elements such as emotional needs and problems. The question that might be asked is whether Pediatric Occupational Therapists are in fact equipped to deal with emotional needs and problems.
Due to the nature of their work, there is a strong possibility that Pediatric Occupational Therapists can encounter children who suffer from emotional problems. These children are more often than not seen by Occupational Therapists although the therapists might prefer to rather work on the more tangibly aspects of development.
This research study was aimed at assessing the need amongst Pediatric Occupational Therapists to deal with emotional problems. After completing the study it was possible to make valuable conclusions and recommendations. Gestalt Play Therapy was also proposed as a possible approach in dealing with children's emotional needs and problems in the course of their Occupational Therapy intervention.
OPSOMMING
Arbeidsterapie omsluit `n breë spektrum van spesialiteitsrigtings, waarvan Pediatrie een is. Binne die veld van Pediatrie blyk daar egter verdere diversiteit te wees met betrekking tot die diagnostiese groepe wat binne hierdie veld hanteer word. Die tradisionele Pediatriese Arbeidsterapie proses het ten doel om die kind holisties te benader met verwysing na die kognitief -perseptuele, motoriese en emosionele ontwikkelingsareas van die kind. Dit blyk egter dat daar `n geneigdheid is, en moontlik ook groter gemak bestaan om eerder aan die meer sigbare aspekte soos byvoorbeeld perseptuele en motoriese ontwikkeling te werk. Die vraag kan dus gevra word of Arbeidsterapeute genoegaam toegerus is om ook aan die emosionele behoeftes en probeleme van die kind aandag te kan gee.
Die moontlikheid dat Arbeidsterapeute vanwee die diversiteit met betrekking tot die diagnostiese groepe wat ter sprake is in kontak kan kom met kinders wat ook emosionele behoeftes en probleme het bestaan. Alhoewel hierdie kinders opgeneem word in die Arbeidsterapie proses, is behandeling dikwels net op die tasbare ontwikkelings areas gerig.
Die navorsing was spesifiek daarop gerig om te bepaal of daar wel `n behoefte bestaan onder Arbeidsterapeute om kinders se emosionele behoeftes aan te spreek. Na afloop van die studie, en nadat alle toepaslike inligting geïntegreer is, is daar waardevolle afleidings gemaak en is hierdie behoefte onder Arbeidsterapeute bevestig. Gestalt Spelterapie is ook voorgestel as `n moontlike benadering wat geïntegreer kan word ten einde die Arbeidsterapeut instaat te stel om meer effektief te werk te gaan met die kind se emosionele behoeftes en probleme. / Social work / D.Phil.

Asperger's Syndrome : a description of sensory work with childrenVan Vollenstee, Lindsay 31 March 2006 (has links)
This study describes three case studies with three children diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, the focus of the dissertation being the sensory processing issues that these children experience, the limited intervention regarding this subject, and the possible emotional connotations that may accompany these difficulties. In the study, three children partook in six Gestalt Play Therapy sessions, where sensory stimulants were utilised as a medium of expression. The data was analysed, with the emphasis on the children's responses to the sensory work and the emotions that could be linked to this experience. A detailed description of the sessions is provided. It was found that these children were able to make use of the Gestalt Play Therapy setting, along with the sensory work, as a means of emotional expression. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

Guidelines in facilitating refugee learners in their social adjustment to a foreign school environmentNaude, Carina 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to develop Gestalt guidelines for teachers
working with refugee learners. These guidelines seek to assist teachers when
facilitating refugee learners in their social adjustment to a new school
environment. The researcher made use of the first four stages of the Design and
Development model of intervention research. These stages included problem
analysis and project planning, information gathering and synthesis, design, and
the early development of the guidelines.
For the purpose of this study, semi-structured focus groups were conducted with
teachers working with refugee learners. The social adjustment process was then
viewed in the context of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory. Existing
literature on the social adjustment of refugee learners in the South-African
school system and literature on the Gestalt philosophy was used together with
functional elements of existing social adjustment models to develop guidelines
for teachers when facilitating refugee learners in their social adjustment to a
new school environment.
Throughout this research study, the refugee learner has been referred to as “he”.
This was done for practical reasons only and no gender discrimination was
intended. / Practical Theology / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

A survey on the presence of work engagement and well-being among gestalt play therapists in South AfricaVan der Westhuizen, Magdalena Elizabeth 02 1900 (has links)
The aim of the study was to measure the presence of work engagement and wellbeing
among Gestalt play therapists in South Africa.
A literature study was undertaken to examine the concepts of work engagement and
well-being, and a conceptual framework was given of the Gestalt play therapist and
the work that they do with traumatized children within the South African context. This
literature study forms the theoretical framework in which the study was done.
After completion of the literature study, the empirical study was conducted. The
researcher made use of a biographical questionnaire and four psychometric
instruments to compile research data; it is the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale,
Satisfaction with Life Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale and Scales of Psychological
Well-being. The data obtained was quantatively analysed, research findings were
discussed and recommendations were made.
The empirical data indicated work engagement and well-being to be statistically
significant present in Gestalt play therapists in South Africa. / M. Diac. (Play Therapy) / Social Work

Parental guidelines to enhance emotional intelligence among children in middle childhoodEadie, Tessa Anne 07 1900 (has links)
This study takes the form of intervention research in which parental guidelines to enhance
emotional intelligence among children in middle childhood are developed from a Gestalt
perspective. The researcher makes use of Rothman and Thomas’ (1994) Design and
Development model and therefore follows phases of problem analysis and project planning,
information gathering and synthesis, design, and early development in order to facilitate the
research process. Guidelines deal with needs highlighted by parents (with children in middle
childhood) who participated in the empirical enquiry. The researcher draws upon literature
relating to emotional intelligence and parenting, Gestalt philosophy, and functional elements of
relevant, existing programmes in the pursuit of addressing identified concerns. Phases of
evaluation and advanced development, and dissemination are not addressed within the limited
scope of this project. The possibility of exploring these final two phases of the design and
development model therefore provides opportunity for future work. / Play Therapy / Thesis (M. Diac. (Play Therapy))

The effect of a Gestalt intervention programme on the emotional intelligence of preschool childrenWalsingham, Vicky Joan 02 1900 (has links)
The goal of the study was to determine whether there would be a significant improvement in preschool children’s emotional intelligence when a Gestalt intervention programme was implemented.
The research was conducted according to the quantitative approach with a pre-test/post-test design. The Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales (2nd edition) was completed and returned by a sample of 30 parents (N=30) from a crèche in the Gauteng area. The Joseph Picture Self-Concept Scale was used to test a sample of 30 preschool children (N=30) from the same crèche. The representative sample of preschoolers aged 3 to 5 years was divided into an experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) group. A Gestalt play therapy intervention programme, the Wise child programme, was conducted with the experimental group.
The results indicated that there was a significant improvement of the preschool children’s emotional intelligence in terms of intra- and interpersonal skills after the implementation of a Gestalt intervention programme. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

Die benutting van Gestaltspelterapie met visueel gestremde kindersJohnsen, Elouise 02 1900 (has links)
The researcher found little information in literature reviewed about how Gestalt Play
Therapy is being used in the treatment of visually impaired children. The aim of the
study was to expand knowledge regarding this issue.
A basic qualitative research study of an exploratory and descriptive nature was
undertaken to describe how this therapy may be used in the treatment of such
children. A representative sample was drawn from the population, consisting of
gestalt play therapists who previously provided assistance to these children, using a
purposive non-probability method. Data collection took place through the execution
of semi-structured telephone interviews. Collected data was analysed using the
Thematic Content Analysis to search for related themes (in line with the objectives of
the study) in transcribed interviews. The general conclusion drawn from the empirical
data was that gestalt play therapy can be used to good effect in the treatment of
visually impaired children. / Die navorser het gevind dat daar weinig inligting in die literatuur beskikbaar is oor
hoe gestaltspelterapie in die hulpverlening aan visueel gestremde kinders benut kan
word. Die doel van die navorsingstudie was dus om kennis uit te brei rakende die
benutting van gestaltspelterapie in die hulpverlening aan visueel gestremde kinders.
'n Basiese kwalitatiewe navorsingstudie met 'n verkennende en beskrywende aard is
onderneem om te beskryf hoe gestaltspelterapie benut word met betrekking tot
visueel gestremde kinders. 'n Verteenwoordigende steekproef is getrek, volgens 'n
doelgerigte nie-waarskynlikheidsmetode, vanuit die populasie bestaande uit
gestaltspelterapeute wat al van tevore hulp aan visueel gestremde kinders verleen
het. Data-insameling het plaasgevind deur middel van semi-gestruktureerde
telefoniese onderhoude. Die versamelde data is volgens die Tematiese
Inhoudsanalise ontleed deur verbandhoudende temas (ooreenkomstig die doel van
die studie) in getranskribeerde onderhoude te soek. Die algemene gevolgtrekking
wat vanuit die empiriese bevindinge gemaak kan word, is dat gestaltspelterapie wel
in die hulpverlening aan visueel gestremde kinders benut kan word. / Social Work / M.Diac. (Play Therapy)
