The meaning and perceived effects of a spiritual retreat for adolescent males with personal/interpersonal problemsSeishas, Paul C. 01 January 2009 (has links) (PDF)
This study was designed with an interest for the healing of emotional distress shared by the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. It sought to merge these disciplines into a coherent therapeutic context for human interaction that could be grounded in the shared human condition, the essential need for meaning, freedom, and relationship. This study also sought to examine the importance of spirituality across the lifespan to the practice of psychotherapy and particularly to explore the spiritual experiences of the adolescent male and discover the meaning and healing effects those experiences have for them, especially those who have experienced significant emotional or relationship difficulties in their lives. Using a phenomenological methodology for the qualitative data analysis, 10 interviews were conducted with young adult males who had participated in a unique spiritual retreat while in high school and during a particularly troubled time in their lives. An exhaustive document review took place. Two distinct phenomena emerged: Lost in Suffering, a state of life prior to the retreat and Found in Redemption: the results of a four day experience of bonding, healing, and transformation, each experience containing five distinct themes. The result is a deep understanding of the lived experience of the participants and a powerful implication regarding the place of spiritual experience in psychotherapeutic healing.

Resilience in refugee children: a gestalt play therapy approachHoosain, Shanaaz 30 November 2007 (has links)
The aim of the research study was to explore resilience in refugee children, using a Gestalt approach to play therapy. The hypothesis, was that a Gestalt approach to play
therapy could promote resilience in Refugee children. A literature review was conducted. This revealed that unaccompanied refugee children were unique because they need to deal with trauma, loss and change while having to adjust to living in a new country and many have to learn to speak a new language. The research method was a multiple case study and an intervention research model was used to implement the research. Schoeman's Working Model was used as the Gestalt play therapy approach. Attributes of resilient children were used to measure the results.
The researcher concluded that play therapy with a Gestalt approach may promote resilience in refugee children because it increases the numbers of protective factors in a
child's life. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

Hanteringsriglyn vir beraders wat met adolessente in 'n multikulturele omgewing werk : `n Gestalt terapeutiese benaderingVan der Hoven, Marianne 28 February 2004 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The research was directed at setting up guidelines for the counsellor dealing with the adolescent in a multicultural environment. The supposition of the study was that the adolescent in a multicultural environment should be treated by the counsellor with cultural empathy, understanding and insight. This process should be free from stereotyping and prejudice.
Guidelines were set up using a combination of Gestalt philosophical principles, existing literature and semi-structured interviews with cultural therapy experts.
For the purpose of this study Thomas and Rothman's intervention research model was applied. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain information on the adolescent in therapy, which was combined with information found in literature in order to set up guidelines for counsellors.
The researcher concludes that the counsellor dealing with the adolescent in a multicultural environment, has to possess sufficient cultural knowledge, cultural efficiency and cultural empathy to achieve a successful theurapeutic outcome.
Guidelines for the counsellor who works with adolescents in a multicultural environment were set up successfully to bridge the current lack of knowledge in the field. / Social Work / M. Diac (Play Therapy)

Benuttingswaarde van die Paradoksale teorie van verandering in gestaltspelterapie met adolessenteDippenaar, Jacoline 30 November 2005 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The utilization value of the paradoxical theory of change in Gestalt Play Therapy with adolescents
Adolescents undergo significant changes on physical, emotional, and cognitive levels during this development stage. These changes have a great influence on their self-awareness. Most adolescents experience great problems with who they are and who they should be according to the expectations of others. This causes a never-ending process of efforts to change. Change can only take place if the adolescent is who he is, but not if he tries to be what he is not. The consequence hereof is that change cannot take place in the adolescent, because he should first become aware of who he is. The awareness of who he is leads to change. The paradoxical theory of change is all about being who one is and not about trying to be what others expect one to be. The adolescent should be accompanied to become aware of who he is, by utilization of the paradoxical theory, in order to be able grow and change.
The aim of this study was to explore and describe the utilization value of the paradoxical theory of change in Gestalt Play Therapy with adolescents. In order to achieve this goal, the research process was directed by qualitative research, and triangulation was utilized as a technique for gathering information. Out of the processing and integration of conclusions drawn during the empirical investigation, data could contribute to exploration and description of the assessment of the paradoxical theory of change in Gestalt play therapy with adolescents. The aim of the investigation was therefore achieved, namely the exploration and description of the utilization value of the paradoxical theory of change in Gestalt Play Therapy with adolescents. / Play thearapy / M.Diac.

Adolessent wat mishandel is se verhouding met God : 'n pastorale gestaltbenaderingDenton, Rudy Arthur 30 November 2005 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans with summaries in Afrikaans and English / Mishandeling is een van die mees traumatiese ervarings wat die adolessent kan beleef en beïnvloed sy totale ontwikkeling. Die doel met hierdie navorsing was om deur intervensie te bepaal of mishandeling enige implikasies het vir die adolessent se verhouding met God. Die pastorale en Gestaltterapie is aangewend om die adolessent wat mishandel is in sy verhouding met God te begelei. In die pastorale Gestaltterapiebenadering is daar rekening gehou met die dinamiese konteks van lewenservaring en betekenisvelde in die Godsbeeld van die adolessent. Hierdeur is die impak bepaal van die adolessent se ervaring, waarneming en verwagting van God. Die uitgangspunt van die pastorale Gestaltterapie was dat die adolessent se verhouding met God disfunksioneel geword het as gevolg van mishandeling. Met behulp van die intervensienavorsingsmodel is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die pastorale Gestaltterapeutiese benadering die verwronge Godsbeeld van die adolessent verander het sodat die verhouding met God kan herstel.
SUMMARY
Abuse is one of the most traumatic experiences the adolescent can have and influences his total development. This research was aimed at establishing, by means of intervention, whether abuse has any implications for the adolescent's relationship with God. The pastoral and Gestalt therapy was applied to guide the abused adolescent in his relationship with God. In the pastoral Gestalt therapy approach the dynamic context of life experience and areas of meaning in the adolescent's image of God was taken into account. Thereby the impact of the adolescent's experience, observation and expectations of God was established.
The starting-point of the pastoral Gestalt therapy was that the adolescent's relationship with God became dysfunctional as a result of abuse. With the aid of the intervention research model, it was concluded that the pastoral Gestalt therapeutic approach has changed the distorted God-image of the adolescent to restore the relationship with God. / Social work / M.Diac.

Writing in therapy: a gestalt approach with an adolescentRoodt, Zarine 30 June 2006 (has links)
This exploratory and descriptive investigation used the case study as research strategy to indi cate how writing may be used as a specialised form of therapy for an adolescent in the phase of mid-adolescence. The study researched and consolidated a body of knowledge concerning writing in a therapeutic context, while highlighting the Gestalt therapeutic approach. Its empirical integration culminated in a method for the use of therapists who irrespective of their therapeutic orientation wish to apply writing in therapy with adolescents.
The dissertation argues that writing practised from a Gestalt therapeutic perspective should move
gradually from being a tool of self-expression to becoming one of self-nurturing. It should guide the client through a process of self-regulation to a point of self-support. In such a process, writing in therapy will evolve into writing as therapy, a therapy practised by the client her- or himself as a means of achieving equilibrium. / Social Work / M. Diac.

Pastorale gestaltterapeutiese intervensie om mishandelde laatadolessente wat skuld en skaamte ervaar, na vergifnis te begeleiDenton, Rudy Arthur 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans with summaries in Afrikaans and English / A pastoral Gestalt therapeutic intervention model was developed, implemented and
evaluated in the research to facilitate the therapeutic process from guilt and shame to
forgiveness. Guilt and shame can be traumatic self-conscious experiences which has
an impact on abused late adolescent's physical, psychological, social, emotional, moral
and religious development. It can determine the adolescent's behavior, their views of
themselves and their interpersonal relationships. Guilt and shame arouses feelings of
helplessness, anger, blame, bitterness and the need for retaliation, while forgiveness
can relieve these impulses effectively and be utilized as a source for a recovering
experience.
In designing the intervention model, the researcher studied adolescents' emotional
experience, behaviour and management of guilt, shame and forgiveness from a
pastoral base theory within the Gestalt therapeutic perspective. The formation of the
paradigm is based on a multidisciplinary approach which takes place on the interface
between pastoral counselling and Gestalt therapy without the unique content and
character of pastoral care or the Gestalt therapy being lost. By utilizing the intervention
model abused late adolescents are assisted with the necessary awareness to focus on
what is on their foreground in order to reach self-regulation of their emotional
experience. The intervention model was developed as a prototype intervention based
on Enright's forgiveness process model and components of both the pastoral base
theory and the Gestalt therapeutic process of the Schoeman working model.
The research was performed by using a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach. The
qualitative approach entails the use of applied intervention in intervention research
while the quantitative approach consists of measuring the respondents' experiences of
guilt, shame and forgiveness, using three standardized rating scales before and after
intervention. The researcher applied the intervention research design in a multiple
case study with five respondents and a single-system design was incorporated into the
intervention research. The measurement of respondents' experiences of guilt, shame
and forgiveness after intervention, determined whether the changes took effect,
attributable to their participation in the intervention. Following the research findings the
conclusion was made that the pastoral Gestalt therapeutic intervention model can be
used effectively to guide abused late adolescents who experience guilt and shame, to
forgiveness. / In die navorsing is 'n pastorale Gestaltterapeutiese intervensiemodel ontwikkel,
geimplementeer en geevalueer om die terapeutiese proses van skuld en skaamte na
vergifnis te fasiliteer. Skuld en skaamte kan traumatiese selfbewuste ervaringe wees
wat mishandelde laat-adolessente se fisieke, psigiese, sosiale, emosionele, morele en
religieuse ontwikkeling beinvloed. Dit kan bepalend vir die adolessente se gedrag
wees, asook hul siening van hulself en hul interpersoonlike verhoudinge. Skuld en
skaamte wek gevoelens van magteloosheid, woede, blaam, bitterheid en die behoefte
na vergelding, terwyl vergifnis hierdie impulse kan verlig en effektief benut kan word as
'n bron van die herstelervaring.
In die antwerp van die intervensiemodel het die navorser die adolessente se
emosionele ervaring, gedrag en hantering van skuld, skaamte en vergifnis vanuit 'n
pastorale basisteorie binne die Gestaltterapeutiese perspektief bestudeer. Die vorming
van die paradigma is geskoei op 'n multidissiplinere benadering wat op die tussenvlak
tussen pastoraat en Gestaltterapie plaasvind, sander om die eiesoortige inhoud en
karakter van die pastoraat of die Gestaltterapie verlore te laat gaan. Deur benutting
van die intervensiemodel is mishandelde laat-adolessente begelei om met die nodige
bewustheid te fokus op dit wat op hul voorgrond is ten einde selfregulering van hul
emosionele belewenis te bereik. Die intervensiemodel is ontwikkel as 'n prototipe
intervensie deur Enright se vergifnis prosesmodel en komponente van sowel die
pastorale basisteorie as die Gestaltterapeutiese proses van die Schoeman-werkmodel
te gebruik.
Die navorsing is vanuit die gemengde kwalitatiewe-kwantitatiewe benadering
onderneem. Die kwalitatiewe benadering het die gebruik van toegepaste intervensie in
'n intervensienavorsingsmodel behels en die kwantitatiewe benadering die meting van
die respondente se ervaring van skuld, skaamte en vergifnis, met behulp van drie
gestandaardiseerde metingskale, voor en na intervensie. Die navorser het die
intervensienavorsingontwerp in 'n meervoudige gevallestudie met vyf respondente
toegepas en 'n enkelsisteemontwerp in die intervensienavorsing gei"nkorporeer. Die
meting van die respondente se ervaring van skuld, skaamte en vergifnis na intervensie,
het bepaal of die veranderinge wat ingetree het, toegeskryf kan word aan hul deelname
aan die intervensieprogram. Na aanleiding van die navorsingsresultate is die
gevolgtrekking gemaak dat die pastorale Gestaltterapeutiese intervensiemodel effektief
gebruik kan word om mishandelde laat-adolessente wat skuld en skaamte ervaar, na vergifnis te begelei. / Social Work / D.Diac. (Play Therapy)
