Gestaltchart

Gestalt therapy is based on field theory, existentialism, phenomenology, and organismic self-regulation. The core concepts are that people are always changing and developing based on their biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs within their current context. Therapists use dialogue and awareness through presence, inclusion, and non-exploitation to help clients experience themselves and their environment fully in the present moment in order to facilitate change.
