2024 Project of the Creation of the ART THERAPY BOOK

 


2023 Project of the Creation of the ART THERAPY BOOK




❇️ We are starting a beautiful and interesting project!

► The creation of a book on GESTALT ART THERAPY and other approaches.

We have realized that since we started the project with the creation of the Gestalt Art Therapy training CAT©  in the Spanish language, in 2010, and our work in our at the Gestalt Art Therapy Center in Australia, the number of professionals incorporating more Art into the practice of Gestalt Therapy and/or other approaches, has grown remarkably and we would love to count with your contribution to the book.

The objective of the creation of this book is to convey the experiences, investigations, opinions, and realization of clients in workshops, and psychotherapy sessions, and the realization of therapists, in supervision sessions and in their own personal processes, such as the result of the use of the arts in the Gestalt Psychotherapy and other approaches.

Thus, we have opened the period for receiving "expressions of interest" to collaborate on this project.

Participation is open if you are a GOLD Member and meet the minimum requirements. For more information about participation conditions, write to: gestaltarttherapycentre@gmail.com

We hope to launch the book in 2024!

Participating in this project, in addition to personal satisfaction for you, can be professional, since the chosen collaborators will be able to see their publication in the book, where they will also be able to read a Biography of the author/s and the contact information that will give access to the web, email, social networks, etc., as well as activities that they develop, information that will appear in the directory in the book, being an important professional international promotion channel.

In addition, it is planned to translate this book into the Spanish language.

Complete here the Expression of interest form in taking part in the project to create the GESTALT ART THERAPY BOOK and other approaches.

*Completing the form does not mean that you have been selected. Once the form is received, we will contact you via email to confirm the information provided before August 2023, if you have been selected, we will confirm your participation and the next step to follow to be part of this collaboration project, in the book GESTALT ART THERAPY and other approaches.

Contact us for more information gestaltarttherapycentre@gmail.com

From the momentum and motivation I help to enhance your light and your feminine energy so that you live happy and in peace. namaste

ART THERAPY - A GESTALT APPROACH

Hello! Welcome to our creative therapy centre!

Here you will find everything related to Art Therapy using the Gestalt approach.

What is Art ?:

Art is genarally known as what is done by a person whose purpose is to express a message through symbols.

These symbolic tools can be music, paintings, sculptures, theater and so on.


What is Gestalt Therapy ?:

Gestalt therapy is a methodology within psychology that grew out of the research and work of the psychiatrist Dr.Fritz Perls and his wife Dr.Laura Perls.

These two professionals were coming from the psychoanalytic perspective and felt that this method was not enough to work with clients. Today we are clearly aware that no one single method can resolve the issues that involve a range of human suffering and growth.

Gestalt is a German word roughly meaning "Shape" or "configuration".

This concept is understood, in gneral terms, that all individual experiences are shaped by a figure and a background. As time goes on, and our needs change, the figure can become the background and vice versa. So in the client's experience, the figure is changing at all times from becoming a background and as the needs arise, the figure emerges seeking completion.

When we block or prevent this process, we become unaware and suffer. That is a part of the theoretical foundations of Gestalt therapy.

Gestalt therapy, therefore, is a "philosophy", a way of being in the world in the "here and now" and taking "response-aibility" without pushing the river. Thus life is a flow ..

What is GESTALT Art Therapy?


It is the sum of the two previous concepts, Gestal therapy and the use of tools we learn to use in art therapy.

Using the artistic tools and adding the gestalt language between client and psychotherapist we work jointly to decode the messages hidden in the intrinsic symbols representing the client's situation. The Psychotherapist accompanies the client in the process of "discovering" what is helpful and not analysing or interpreting, but suggesting and asking the client what it is he or she knows are the answers and supports client's need to discover the ncessary solutions.

WE ARE SURE THAT YOU WILL BE ATTRACTED by this new way of working with emotions, whether or not you are a professional psychologist or therapist, since many of the exercises can be used personally for your own growth.

Our work is done in Australia & Spain and other countries. We have given workshops and participated in conferences throughout the world. We are located in our offices at the Gestalt Art Therapy Centre in Brisbane -Australia.

BE HAPPY HERE AND NOW..... AND BE CREATIVE !
