Gestalt Therapy emphasises the importance of relationships and according to
the I-Thou philosophy of Buber, people who form part of a relationship must
become aware of each other’s uniqueness and the differences between them
in order to act honestly and sincerely towards each other. Gestalt Play
Therapy strives to reach such a relationship during the therapeutic relationship.
The aim of this study was to explore the utilisation of dyadic Gestalt Play
Therapy in order to enhance an I-Thou relationship between the parent and the
adolescent. As an application of the qualitative applied research approach, a
case study was done whereby the parent became part of the therapistadolescent
relationship. The integration of the conclusions from the literature
study and the empirical study contributed to the exploration and description of
the way dyadic Gestalt Play Therapy can be utilized to enhance an I-Thou
relationship between the parent and adolescent. / Social Work / M.Diac (Play therapy)
