	Behavior OnLine: An Introduction to Gestalt Therapy
		Gestalt therapists may use any techniques or methods as long as (a) they are aimed toward increasing awareness, (b) they emerge out of dialogue and phenomenologic work, and (c) they are within the parameters of ethical practice.
		Gestalt therapy is most useful for patients open to working on self-awareness and for those who want natural mastery of their awareness process.
		Gestalt therapists are encouraged to have a firm grounding in personality theory, psychopathology and theories and applications of psychotherapy, as well as adequate clinical experience.

		The background of this new Gestalt is composed of concepts and elements from different bodies of knowledge and disciplines.
		For him, a Gestalt was a psychical whole formed by the structuring of the perceptual field.
		Gestalt therapy was later thus named after Gestalt psychology to draw attention to indicating the significant links between both.

	gestalt
		Gestalt psychology, which is related in some ways to the philosophy now known as constructivism, held the belief that people do not perceive the world as it is, rather they interpret what they see in terms of their own filters (that is, they impose order and meaning on what they perceive).
		For a Gestalt psychologist, "any whole is greater than the sum of its parts," which means that the whole has properties that cannot be understood by analyzing it into its individual parts.
		Gestalt psychologists "found perception to be heavily influenced by the context or configuration of the perceived elements" (Gestalt Psychology, Funk, 1999).

	Gestalt Therapy and Gestalt Psychology
		Gestalt theory is extended into becoming a dynamic process of personal growth and development, just as Goldstein extended it into the physiological realm and Lewin extended it into the social realm.
		Gestalt therapy works with a dream by asking the dreamer to identify with each aspect of the dream, BE it, describe oneself as this element of it and act it out, in order to connect with and re-own disowned parts of our own experience and personal power.
		Gestalt work draws on Karen Horney's identification of our "shoulds" or inauthentic introjects as a central aspect of personal growth, so that we can go on to discover our own ways of being in the world that are true to ourselves to take their place.

		When it is stated that a gestalt factor interacts also with itself, what is meant is that the specific gestalt stimulus of a gestalt factor actualizes the gestalt factor in such a way that both the positive and the negative function are increased, resulting in a greater "Prägnanz" of the phenomenal perceptual organization.
		A gestalt law does not provide a mathematical description of the relationship between an independent and a dependent variable, but it does decribe the relationship between the direction of change of the one variable and the direction of change of the other.
		The gestalt laws dealt with here are not laws in quotation marks, as was the case with the "gestalt laws" of the early Gestaltists who lacked precision; the laws displayed here are genuine, and they strictly regulate the interactions of the figure factors.

	Helping Victims Of Intellectual Stupidity Syndrome
		Gestalt is a form of psychotherapy built on the experiential ideal of "here and now" and relationships with others and the world.
		Gestalt psychology (also Gestalt theory of the Berlin School) is a theory of mind and brain that proposes that the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies.
		The classic Gestalt example is a soap bubble, whose spherical shape (its Gestalt) is not defined by a rigid template, or a mathematical formula, but rather it emerges spontaneously by the parallel action of surface tension acting at all points in the surface simultaneously.

	Leonardo On-Line: Art, Design and Gestalt Theory
		By varying these elements, he was able to investigate the conditions that contribute to the illusion of motion pictures, an effect that is technically known as "apparent movement" [1].
		What may be gestalt psychology's most enduring influence on art and design came from a paper by Max Wertheimer titled "Theory of Form," published in 1923 [13].
		Today, gestalt theory's influence in the field of psychology is unobtrusive in the sense that its findings have all been absorbed by more recent viewpoints and because most of the prominent gestalt psychologists have either retired or died.

	Gestalt Summary
		Gestalt is the German term for "pattern" or "shape," meaning the configuration of patterned relationships of parts to the whole.
		Gestalt concepts have been used, in biology, in many other ways beyond psychological studies of primate behavior, studies that have tried to better understand the behavior of monkeys, apes and humans.
		Other studies have sought gestalt patterns through experiments that tested whether or not there is a substantial gestalt component to colony odor among one species of ants, and through explorations of the role of the postpharyngeal gland in another ant species as a gestalt organ for recognition of nestmates.

	Gestalt Psychology
		Gestalt Psychology, founded by Max Wertheimer, was to some extent a rebellion against the molecularism of Wundt’s program for psychology, in sympathy with many others at the time, including William James.
		In fact, the word Gestalt means a unified or meaningful whole, which was to be the focus of psychological study instead.
		Gestalt psychology is based on the observation that we often experience things that are not a part of our simple sensations.

		The patient is encouraged to become aware of their own feelings and behaviours, and the patient's effect upon their environment.

		Alternative Rock outfit, ‘The Gestalt Effect’ was formed in October 2004 by singer songwriter Neil Jones —Lumby in the South West Victorian city of Warrnambool.
		After spending months writing and composing several songs, Neil recorded a demo CD in order to promote the idea of ‘The Gestalt Effect’ as an experiment in open, melodic, and expansive piano and guitar melodies set behind ambiguous lyrics with double meaning.
		Soon after, the songs were shown to good friends Lee Ronald and Robert Wake, and later to local drummer Andy Porter.
