Abstract

AbstractGroup therapy, including Gestalt group work, is deeply rooted in group development theories as a principle way of orienting to groups. The author argues that a primarily developmental frame of reference will limit therapists' ability to experience a wider range of available phenomena. He suggests that therapists broaden their perspectives through a grounding in phenomenological field theory. This emphasis on field theory is consistent with the tenets of Gestalt therapy and allows therapists to work in a more relational and experience-near manner.
