	Gestalt therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy, based on the experiential ideal of "here and now," and relationships with others and the world.
		The school of Gestalt therapy was co-founded by Fritz Perls, Laura Perls- both of whom were originally traditional psychoanalysts, Ralph Hefferline a university psychology professor, and Paul Goodman political writer and anarchist, in the late 1940s to early 1950s.
		In the German Gestalt psychology, developed by Max Wertheimer, the mind is considered to function by realizing the distinction between the figure (that which attracts attention or protruding) and the ground (that which dwells in the background/ second plane).

		Psychotherapy outcome research -in which the effectiveness of psychotherapy is measured by questionnaires given to patients before, during, and after treatment- has had difficulty distinguishing between the different types of therapy.
		Many psychotherapists believe that the nuances of psychotherapy cannot be captured by this type of research, and prefer to rely on their own clinical experiences and conceptual arguments to support the type of treatment they practice.

		Gestalt Therapy is based on the holistic assumption that a human being reflects the inseparable unity of his or her bodily, mental, psychological and social aspects and, necessarily, that every individual is inextricably interwoven with his or her interpersonal and ecological environment.
		In Gestalt Therapy the focus lies on the process of a person’s contacting and withdrawing from contact with his or her human and ecological environment as well as on the awareness of this process.
		Gestalt Therapy assumes that psychological disorders stem from needs, wishes, emotions and mental fixations of which they are not aware and which haven‘t been brought forth as a contact target.

		A Gestalt could be a visual percept, a temporal pattern such as a melody or a dance, an organized memory trace, or a concept such as truth or democracy.
		Gestalt theorists generally were careful to use figure/ground terms only for Gestalten in which the special-process qualities of shape, contour, and thing-character could be identified.
