The author, here defining herself as heiress to this approach, rescues the Gestalt-therapy´s origin and concepts pointing out to the importance of its founders, Fritz and Laura Perls . She considers their beliefs, myths and personal values as well as their direct or indirect influence on the Gestalt-therapy´s destiny. This study, wich focus on the Gestalt-therapy very beginning, aims to clearly understand the social-cultural aspect and its demands, with the purpose of analysing the Gestalt-therapy and its concepts in a much broader context that makes it meaningful. This research is made up of interviews with three current Brazilian Gestalttherapists, who are also considered heirs, hence this autor´s brothers. The main goal for interviewing those therapists was not only to analyse their individual comprehension about Gestalt-therapy itself as theory but also to have their own opinion about the possible causes for today´s superficial approach of this therapy. This study highlits that a Gestalt-therapist needs theoretical and practical pillars that reveal and consider not only the influence undertaken by such a light Gestalttherapy approach but also that clarifies the concepts which this therapy makes use of. It is still paramount that one distinguishes between what Gestalt-therapy actually is from something that merely makes up its father s (Fritz Perls) way of being / Este trabalho investiga e discute as possíveis razões que levaram a Gestalt-terapia a ter a imagem de uma abordagem frágil, sem consistência teórica e, portanto, mais fácil de ser exercida, vez que não exigiria do profissional uma capacitação teórica ou a necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados. A autora, definindo-se como herdeira desta abordagem, resgata sua origem e concepção, apontando a importância dos pais, Fritz e Laura Perls, considerando suas crenças, mitos e valores pessoais e a influência, direta ou indireta, destes nos seus legados. Tal busca, referendada e constituída junto ao contexto da época da criação da Gestalt-terapia, objetiva compreender o cenário social e cultural e suas respectivas exigências, com vistas a inserí-la e aos seus conceitos num panorama maior que lhes conceda sentido. A pesquisa contou com entrevistas de três gestalt- terapeutas brasileiros da atualidade, considerados também herdeiros, e, por esta referência, irmãos da autora. Seus depoimentos foram registrados, tendo-se o intuito de, com esse diálogo, observar a compreensão que têm da Gestalt-terapia enquanto corpo teórico, como também suas percepções sobre as possíveis causas para a mal-dição desta abordagem, qual seja sua carência de fundamentação teórica. O estudo aponta ser necessário à formação do gestalt- terapeuta um referencial teórico-prático que revele e considere as influências sofridas pela abordagem, e explicite os construtos e conceitos por ela utilizados. É ainda de fundamental importância que se faça a distinção do que é a Gestalt-terapia daquilo que se constitui como o jeito de ser do seu pai, Fritz Perls

Through the theoretical contextualization about the Gestalt Therapy of Couple and Family and nonverbal communication in gestalt approach, it was intended to build a "backdrop" for the contact with the phenomenon questioned in the survey. The access to the experience of the gestalt therapists participants was possible through their narratives, according to the concept of narrative of Walter Benjamin. These narratives were constructed and harvested in the encounter with the researcher and, later, analysed at the light of the Analítica do Sentido - methodological proposal of realization of the real, phenomenological orientation, developed by Dulce Critelli. Therefore, to achieve the objective of this work was carried out a field research, qualitative in nature and phenomenological slant. In General, it was considered that nonverbal communication in Gestalt Therapy of couple and family has an essential importance, since this mode of communication is part in the therapeutic field. In addition, it was contemplated that people usually have no conscience of this communication and, as the Gestalt Therapy works with and for the awareness, addressing the nonverbal proved crucial. However, the theme has proved of enormous theoretical shortage, and that is in this paradox that highlights the relevance and need for attention. / O presente estudo tem como proposta principal compreender qual o lugar da comunicação não verbal na experiência clínica de gestalt-terapeutas de casais e famílias. Através da contextualização teórica sobre a Gestalt-terapia de Casal e Família e da comunicação não verbal na abordagem gestáltica, pretendeu-se construir um pano de fundo para o contato com o fenômeno interrogado na pesquisa realizada. O acesso à experiência dos gestalt-terapeutas participantes foi possível através de suas narrativas, segundo o conceito de narrativa de Walter Benjamim. Essas narrativas foram construídas e colhidas no encontro com a pesquisadora e, posteriormente, analisadas à luz da Analítica do Sentido - proposta metodológica de realização do real, de orientação fenomenológica, desenvolvida por Dulce Critelli. Logo, para o alcance do objetivo deste trabalho, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, de natureza qualitativa e cunho fenomenológico. De forma geral, considerou-se que a comunicação não verbal na Gestalt-terapia de Casal e Família tem uma importância essencial, visto que esse modo de comunicação é parte no campo terapêutico. Além disso, foi contemplado que as pessoas, geralmente, não têm consciência dessa comunicação, e, como a Gestalt-terapia trabalha com e para a awareness, abordar o não verbal mostrou-se fundamental. No entanto, o tema revelou-se de enorme escassez teórica, e é nesse paradoxo que se destaca a sua relevância e necessidade de atenção.

Text in Afrikaans / Divorce is a prominent phenomenon that affects thousands of children in South Africa. The point of departure for this research is that children in divorce situations require therapeutic guidance in order to manage their experience of loss. The research problem formulated was concerned with the lack of guidelines for Gestalt play therapists to address those losses experienced by children during the latency period. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to provide a guideline in order to ensure a meaningful therapeutic experience for children in the latency period. In order to reach this goal, the research process was guided by qualitative research. Triangulation was used as a data collection technique, in order to achieve this goal of investigating children who experience loss and behavioural responses. The value and suitability of Gestalt therapy during the therapeutic management process was examined. Stemming from the process and integration of results obtained in the empirical investigation, guidelines consisting of six diverse phases were developed and explicated. The goal of the research was therefor achieved with the application of: A guideline for Gestalt play therapists in addressing loss through divorce in children in the latency period. / Social work / M.

In Suid-Afrika word kinders dikwels opgeneem in die Intensiewesorgeenheid na 'n traumatiese gebeurtenis. Die Kerk het die opdrag om vir hierdie kinders te sorg en wel in die vorm van pastoraat. In die praktyk ontvang kinders egter nie altyd die sorg waarop hulle geregtig is nie. Een van die faktore waarom dit nie altyd gebeur nie, is omdat daar gebruik gemaak word van 'n intervensie metode wat steun op verbale kommuniekasievaardighede. Die ses stappe van intervensienavorsing is gebruik om 'n pastorale praktykmodel in die vorm van 'n kursus te ontwikkel. Die aanvanklike praktykmodel is in gevallestudies getoets en later verfyn. Die klem van hierdie praktykmodel is die gebruik van spel as modus van intervensie vanuit 'n Gestalt benadering. Die kursus sal pastors en geestelike werkers in staat stel om effektief vir kinders te sorg. Die hoofkonsepte van die navorsing vorm die vertrekpunte van die kursus saam met praktiese oefeninge in spelterapietegnieke. / Many children in South-Africa are admitted in the Intensive Care Unit after a traumatic event. The Church is called to care for these children in the form of pastoral care. In practise children are often neglected and do not receive the care that they are entiteld to. One of the main reasons is because pastors and religious workers use an intervention method that depends mainly on the verbal skills of the child. The six steps of intervention research was used to develop a pastoral model in the form of course. The innitial intervention model was tested in case studies and refined. The focus of this model is to use play as a mode of intervention from a Gestalt approach. The course will enable pastors and religious workers to care for children more effectively. The main concepts of the research forms the basis of this model with practical excercises. / Social Work / D. Diac. (Spelterapie)

This study was directed to explore the practicability of play therapy as a support system to primary schools in order to offer the child an optimal learning opportunity. A need exists to support primary schools, to establish therapeutic services which will be available to all children with emotional, behaviour and social problems. Gestalt play therapy can be used as a source of support within the context of the primary school. It is important that the therapist and teacher have sufficient knowledge around the different developmental phases of the child. In this study the focus was on the general characteristics, cognitive, social- and moral development of the primary school child. A qualitative approach and by utilizing semi-structured interviews, were used in order to collect the data concerning the study. Results from the empirical research indicated that there is a definite necessity for therapeutic services, as support systems at primary schools, in order to assist the child to reach his/her maximum potential. / Social Work / M.Diac.

Nationally and internationally grade retention is still used as a remedial strategy even though the majority of research questions its efficacy. In this qualitative study the adolescent is given a voice to inform important role-players about his experience of grade retention. The findings show that the adolescent is very self-conscious about his new status and fears stereotyping. The adolescent's self-esteem is shattered and he loses confidence in his ability to achieve. He is often the victim of teasing and experiences loneliness when he loses his friends in the process. The adolescent is hypersensitive to remarks by teachers and his parents. When he needs support the most, he experiences only conflict. Feelings of despondency and doubt in the existence of God are the result. Given the importance of psychosocial adjustment on subsequent development, recommendations were made to assist important people in the adolescent's life to support him more effectively. / Social Work / (M.A. Diac (Play Therapy))

Text in Afrikaans / The purpose of this study is the development of a Gestalt therapeutic program for conscious, multisensory perception. The program is aimed at children in the age group between eight and twelve years. A qualitative research approach is used with grounded theory as research strategy. Applied research is used with incidental sampling. The objectives as the steps taken to attain the purpose were literature study of the main concepts, the development of the program, and the refinement of the program. A collective energy model is designed to conduct the program in a group of eight children. After the observation of the interaction in the group and feedback by the group members the program was refined in nine sessions. The research was done in the theoretical framework of gestalt play therapy. / Social work / M. Diac (Play Therapy)
