Gestalt therapy training performed under my supervision is officially recognized by that center in California/USA.

Clinical applications of Gestalt therapy is taught in groups through observation of the trainer under supervision and is followed by theoretical discussion and therapeutical integration of Gestalt therapy.

The basics of the training are :

• Experiential training in Gestalt theory and practice.
• Integration of Gestalt theory with other theoretical models.
• Presentation of cases for supervision.
• Individual attention to each participants needs and goals.

The clinical line is primarily for :

• Psychologists, MD's, psychiatrists, nurses, ergotherapists, physiotherapists, special teachers, social workers, psychotherapists & others with sufficient clinical background.
• The development line is open for persons working with development of other people, teachers, educationalists, theatre people, media people, artists, employees in compagny departments, etc...

The themes are :

• Intensive personal development :
(Leadership feedback)
• Developmental psychology :
(Feedback & evaluation)
• Personality psychology :
(Intervention, creative crisis, understanding own interactions and conflict resolution)
• Relational work :
(Process oriented work vs goal oriented worked)
• Supervision methods.

Each group [maximum 8 members for each] meets for two hours per week.
A minimum of 6 months period is necessary to any continuous training for professionals, for better theoretical and practical integration of Gestalt therapy.
