Initially scheduled for 11-12 May 2020 this seminar was postponed to 7-8 June 2021 due to Covid-19, which in its turn had to be organized online. Any registration for the May 2020 seminar is automatically postponed for the June 2021 webinar unless an explicit request for reimbursement is made to IDeT.
The aim of this webinar is to present and implement an intervention methodology from a field perspective. The theoretical-clinical frameworks promoted by Beja and Belasco at IDeT and by Francesetti offer a coherent perspective on the intervention. This course will enable participants to identify - from their own experience in the situation - the issues at stake within the therapeutic relationship and, simultaneously, to organize and guide their clinical interventions.
This webinar will help you to become familiar with:

Florence Belasco - Can you then describe and illustrate what the gestalt therapist’s posture is, since he does not directly treat the symptoms, nor does he have an intrapsychic vision of the client’s problem?
Gianni Francesetti - The gestalt therapist is above all in a posture of curiosity and openness, without preconceived ideas and oriented towards discovering the meaning of what is happening. Everything that happens can be interesting. But it requires to pay full attention to it and to be able to stay long enough in this opening.

The risk for the therapist is to be caught in the field which is actualizing itself, to play the same game: I can be depressed with a depressed person or be reactive to it, I can feel alone with someone who has panic attacks or react to it, I can feel little considered in a narcissistic field, undergo it or react to it... but all this is not therapy. To do therapy is to recognize what is happening, not to identify oneself totally in this field while having the possibility to live in it, and to remain as much as possible present anyway.

The essence of the posture is to really consider that what is happening is co-created.
