Abstract
This work is based on a history of psychology perspective, and aims to unveil the Gestalt-therapy and gestalt approach history in Brazil. This essay has an empirical and qualitative character, using the historiographic method. The interviews are semi-directives conducted with some of the first professionals to work with this approach in Brazil, here called first actors in the geographical axis that includes the state of São-Paulo and the Federal District, specifically Brasília. These interviews were analyzed under a phenomenological point of view, and grouped in main themes in order to understand the particular view of these first actors understanding, from their individual perceptions, how this approach came to Brazil; with who arrives and how comes development of the Gestalt-therapy, in Brazil. This work contributes not only to clarify the historical legacy of Gestalt-therapy, but also to reflect on their social and political perspectives. Thus, from a critical eye on contributions, possibilities and perspectives, the study corroborates with the solidification of the epistemological studies of gestalt approach.
