Which of the Gestalt therapy experiments and interventions do you think are most beneficial to clients? Why?

Gestalt therapy had been developed by fritz as well as Laura Perla and had further been influenced by other researchers. Gestalt therapy could be identified in the form of a person centered therapy or a therapy that helps the client in understanding their espxistence, referred to as existential therapy. The key concepts in gestalt therapy include:

• Integration along with whole ness
• Awareness
• Blocks of energy
• Growth disorders

The techniques include:

• Use of language
• Empty chair
• Underdog or top dog
• Dreams
• Fantasy
• Body as a vehicle of communication

I believe the therapy in which the body as a vehicle of communication is implemented should be used for the clients. The therapist attempts that the client would be receiving a sense of whiteness, where emotional as well as physical sensations would be important. In this process, there are three steps. Where, there would be recognition of any physical signs and the client would be allowed to have more awareness about their emotions as well as sensations. Followed by this, there is the process of emotion location in body, where, the client would be asked to realise the feelings. Followed by this, there is the process of exaggeration as well as repetition, in Which the client would be helped in releasing any awareness that is blocked.
