Abstract

AbstractGestalt therapy and groups have enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship. It is typical for Gestalt therapists to receive the majority of their instruction, supervision, and mentorship in the “training group” and later to move into a practice, which will involve leading or consulting to a variety of types of groups. The times “they are a changing,” and demographic shifts in the United States prompt a reexamination of the theory and practice of Gestalt therapy in groups. Theoretical concepts outlined by this author in 1997 are revisited and assessed for contemporary fit. Alternate “tunings” are recommended; and also that there be ongoing attention to modifying Gestalt theory and practice, so as to be culturally sensitive to group members today and in the future.
