Gestalt Therapy: Creatively Adjusting in an Increasingly Diverse World

Abstract

AbstractGestalt therapy was developed and initially practiced in a particular social and political context. Sixty-five years later, that context has changed in considerable ways. In this article, a case will be made that Gestalt therapy must continue to make adjustments and adaptations to be relevant and inclusive in an increasingly diverse world. Concepts from the field of Intercultural Communication will be introduced and integrated with paralleled concepts form Gestalt therapy.
