Today, reference to philosophical aesthetics seems to be taking on an increasingly important role in the theoretical apparatus of Gestalt therapy, including as a contribution to the development of a specific psychopathology or theorization of the therapeutic encounter.

The focus of this workshop will be on writing about the impact of relational therapeutic work on the therapist.

Field perspective is receiving a growing interest in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and there are many different ways to understand it. In this meeting, we will share our understanding of field theory in our practice, and how the therapeutic process is a field phenomenon.

In adolescence, anger is associated with particular functional aspects (McConville, 1995). It protects young teenagers who lack the capacity to reconcile contradictory attitudes and beliefs, which may otherwise leave them feeling overwhelmed.

Among the many DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) particularities, social class is rarely mentioned, yet it is an essential aspect of who we are in every interaction, including as therapists, and who each client is when they come to therapy seeking relief from their suffering.

In this workshop, I want to explore this very radical notion both theoretically and experientially. I want to highlight both the beauty that we as human beings can bring to the world, and the destructiveness and environmental impact of our sense that the world is our artistic canvas to be remade at will.
