Dialogue and Intersubjectivity in the Therapeutic Relationship
Authors: Wheway John
Published: June 2023

"Editor's Note This invited paper, by a distinguished 'integrative' psychotherapist was written as the result of the author engaging with The Healing Relationship in Gestalt Therapy, a recent book by Richard Hycner and Lynne Jacobs. The paper was presented, in a slightly different form, at the second annual UK Council for Psychotherapy conference in September 1996, in Cambridge. The language and concepts draw on psychoanalytic roots more familiar to those for whom the paper was first addressed than perhaps to readers of the BGJ. However, the author addresses issues that centrally concern Gestalt therapists and which lie at the boundary between Gestalt therapy and present day psychoanalytic concerns. Specifically the essay explores the philosophy of dialogue on the one hand, and of intersubjectivity theory an the other, and suggests how their integration in psychotherapeutic pactice can enable appropriabe work with deveIopmental issues to coexist with fully interhuman relating. Key words: Intersubjectivity theory, dialogue, Gestalt therapy, inclusion, I-Thou, therapy relationship."
Playing in the forest: Group play therapy in the primary school
Authors: Gedge Helen
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: This is a case study describing the use of Gestalt group play therapy within the context of a primary school. It identifies the children’s difficulties within the classroom as being part of their situation rather than isolated inner disturbances. In helping them become more self-aware, the therapy encouraged them to become more self-nurturing and to change inappropriate behaviours. The therapist was able to suggest possible changes to their school and home environments so as to improve the children’s situation. Key words: Gestalt play therapy, therapy of the situation, self-awareness, contact-making, emotional expression, self-nurturing."

Will and Grace: An Integrative Dialectic Central to Gestalt Psychotherapy
Authors: Denham-Vaughan Sally
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: In this paper I argue for the existence of a dialectic between what is called here 'Will/directed action' and 'Grace/receptivity', that provides an overarching integrating paradigm for Gestalt psychotherapy. The dialectic is traced to its origins in Augustinian philosophy and is proposed as a way of viewing different aspects of self-function, specifically middle mode/spontaneity. I suggest that contrasting schools of psychotherapy can be arranged along the same dialectic and that this can also be seen as a way of comprehending some of the tensions within Gestalt psychotherapy itself. Finally, implications of the dialectic are explored with reference to the practice of Gestalt psychotherapy and its epistemological and philosophical roots. Key words.' will, grace, Augustine, Gestalt, directed action, receptivity, psychoanalysis, CBI self."

Authors: Hewitt Taylor Joanna
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: This is an account of research into the childhood experiences of abuse of seven black women living within Britain, a majority white culture. The abuse described includes physical, sexual, emotional and racial abuse. The study represents a phenomenological inquiry into the meaning for participants of their experiences. It also draws attention to the personal impact on the researcher. The themes that emerge are discussed from a Gestalt perspective with considerations for theory and practice. Racial abuse and the impact of racism emerge as significant factors, with particular implications for the understanding and practice of white therapists. Key words: black women, childhood abuse, racism, ground, shame and identity."
Parlett's Creative Abilities Model and the Esalen Curriculum for the Human Potential: A Comparative Study
Authors: Wheeler Gordon
Published: June 2023

"Abstracfi Malcolrn Parlett's 'Five Abilities Model' and the Esalen Curriulum for the Human Potential ('CHP') are two models for mapping human capacities and experiential dimensions for heuristic, diagnostic, pedagogical, and analytic purposes. Parlett's dimensions of 'responding, interrelating, self-recognising, embodying, and experimenting', and the CHP dimensions of 'mental body, emotional body, physical body, social body, and spiritual body', represent different ways of identifying needs in programmes of education and training, and different analytical tools for desigrring group and individual curricula based on those needs. By comparing these two systems, we gain clarity and understanding of each in the light of the other, and also identify areas for needed fi.rther development. Key words: creativity, Gestalt, holism, human potential curriculum, humanistic education, 'relational body'."

Gestalt in an Information Technology Organisation: A Case Study
Authors: Coffey Fiona , Cavicchia Simon
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: This is a story about Gestalt-informed consulting in a modern business setting. We describe what happened as we attempted to introduce emergent, relational ways of working, in a corporate culture preoccupied with individual task performance. Our experience illuminated the dynamics of feedback, learning and shame at work. We suggest that feedback processes at work appear ripe for being animated and refreshed by the application of Gestalt thinking based in phenomenology, field theory and dialogue. Key words: feedback, relational, consulting, phenomenology, field, dialogue, shame, learning, performance, system, contact boundary corporate culture."

"Abstract: The following article is largely a stream-of-consciousness reflection on being a racially-conscious white therapist in racially divided America. It focuses specifically on working with African-American patients, addressing such themes as white anxiety, white skin privilege, lack of awareness of whiteness as a socio-political power construct, and white guilt. An illustrative case example takes the reader through how the themes listed shaped the therapist's subjectivity and alternately enhanced and inhibited the therapeutic pmcess.

Individual and Community in the Third Millennium: The Creative Contribution of Gestalt Therapy
Authors: Spagnuolo Lobb Margherita , Salonia Giovanni , Cavaleri Pietro
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: How is the relationship between individual and social community to be managed without necessarily inhibiting individual creativity or, on the other hand, denying the existence and the importance of the group? How can society organise itself in such a way as to be able to welcome difference and divergence as elements of richness and not as factors which create a disturbance in its internal order? Society and psychotherapy are doubly linked. Based on an hemleneutic dialogue between Frederick Perls and Paul Goodman's intuitions and the actual discomfort of humans in society, this article outlines the specific contribution that Gestalt therapy can give to post-modem man's challenge to psychotherapy. (Editor's Note: This paper was previously published in Quademi di Gestalt and is published by permission.)

A loving leadership: A matter of integrity?
Authors: Reep Richard
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: In this article I will present some of the findings from a wider doctoral study that considers ‘the love thing’, as a teacher leadership phenomenon. I wish to share my awareness regarding a number of atypical and exceptionally human practices that can be found within a challenging city secondary school that faces closure, located in the East Midlands region of the UK. I suggest that contemporary research in educational leadership fails to address the significance of ‘how’ loving forms of leadership can build leadership capacity in schools by looking at a multiple case study of two outstanding teacher leaders in one school. I offer four themes emergent from the commonalities in leadership approach of my research participants and some reflections about how these themes might impact members of the Gestalt community. Key words: love, Gestalt, counselling, psychotherapy, leadership, education."
The impact of war
Authors: Parlett Malcolm
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: War remains central to ‘normal’ thinking in society. Gestalt therapy may already (unwittingly) be a form of peace education. Fritz Perls was a survivor of war trauma. Many of those who survive war are wounded physically or emotionally in long-lasting ways. Traumatic effects of war, through intergenerational transmission, can last decades. The writer, himself once a ‘war baby’, presents a personal journey of ‘self-recognising’, exploring war’s effects on his own life and attitudes. He suggests how a Gestalt focus on polarities has a place in peace and war thinking. Key words: war, trauma, self-recognising, D-Day, peace education, violence, Fritz Perls, Gestalt history."
Embodying Creativity: The Therapy Process and its Developmental Foundation
Authors: Frank Ruella
Published: June 2023

"Editor’s Note: In this article, Ruella Frank – drawing from observations of infant behaviour – illuminates a parallel process between the developing infant’s creative adjustment to their environment, and the boundary management of adults. Indeed, she argues that an understanding of the formation of infant contact mechanisms is necessary if we are to appreciate and successfully shape the boundary functions of adults. With reference to the field conditions that best support and lead to healthy contact with infants, she cites: 1) the attendance of a care-giving presence; 2) a supportive environmental surface; 3) involvement in experiential co-created tasks; 4) an optimum level of arousal; and 5) the development of the capacity to meet flexibly with an ever- changing environment. These qualities are also suggested to be worthy field conditions for therapy. A case study is provided to exemplify how we might cultivate the same to heal contact boundary disturbances in an adult client. In this way, components of our earliest formation of self, and embryonic contact with others, are seen via therapeutic experimentation, to provide tools with which to heal contact boundary disturbances in adults. Key words: infant development, gestalt therapy, movement patterns, experiment, proprioception"
Trauma constellations with a Gestalt perspective
Authors: Broughton Vivian
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: In this article I focus on the theoretical developments of Professor Franz Ruppert on the topics of trauma and attachment, and his adaptation of the constellations process originally developed by the German philosopher and psychotherapist Bert Hellinger. My Gestalt background encourages me to seek connections between Ruppert’s work and a Gestalt approach. I will draw on other theories and comments on the topic to give context. Key words: Gestalt, constellations, trauma, attachment, phenomenology, symbiosis, auton- omy, symbiotic trauma, entanglement."
Gestalt and Family Constellations: Compatible, Complementary, or Conflicting?
Authors: Gunn Janet
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: Some Gestalt practitioners welcome the constellations approach of Bert Hellinger with open arms. Others do not. My research project looked at two dimensions of this tension: attractinn and compatibility.In this article I report my findings and comment on them. I discuss the controversy over Hellinger's therapeutic style, referring to similar controversies over the style of Perls and others. I compare and contrast the concepts of trans-generational family loyalties and the embedded or structured ground. I highlight the potential contribution of the constellations approach to spirituality in Gestalt therapy. I include observations on how Gestalt family therapy differs from individual therapy and is similar to constellations; and I close by suggesting that the integration of this systemic approach could facilitate briefer therapy and align Gestalt more closely to its radical field theoretical origins. Key words: family history, Gestalt, Hellinger, constellations, orders of love, phenomenology, dialogue, solution-focus, spirituality, soul."
Encountering Object Relational Gestalt Therapy as presented by Gilles Delisle
Authors: Beirne Sharon
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: In the context of Gestalt psychotherapy being situated within an evolving psycho- logical therapies profession, I present a discussion, along the lines of an appreciative enquiry, around some of the key concepts and illuminating features of Delisle’s ORGT model, based on Delisle’s delivery of his approach over a two-day workshop I attended in March 2011. Starting from the foundations of Gestalt psychotherapy to current influences, I make reference to some of the strengths and limitations of Gestalt theory and practice highlighted by Delisle, and reflect on the enduring elements of Fritz Perls’ legacy. I consider the principal discussion points in relation to working with clients with borderline personality disorder and underscore two features of Delisle’s model: the use of hermeneutics, which includes an element of interpretation; and working with past experience, as one of the parts of the four-dimensional field presented by Delisle. I include reference to the underpinning developmental theory within Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT) and neurobiological explanations within neuroscience on some of the neural functioning patterns of borderline personality disorder, drawing links to concepts of Delisle’s model. The impetus for writing this article was primarily a profound experience I had during an exercise at Delisle’s workshop, and my enjoyment of the conceptual nourishment that the theoretical material offered, as well as my appreciation of Delisle’s efforts to include a developmental theory of health and pathology into Gestalt theory and practice. Overall, my reflections are a deliberation of Gestalt theory and practice at the juncture of now. Key words: Object Relational Gestalt Therapy (ORGT), development, contact, field, attach- ment, mentalisation, capabilities, neuroscience, Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM), borderline personality disorder."
The healing encounter of dance, Gestalt, and art based on Anna Halprin’s Life/Art Process
Authors: Schorn Ursula
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: Anna Halprin, influential American dancer and artist, in her search for new ways to activate the transformative potential in dance, integrated Fritz Perls’ approach to Gestalt therapy in her work, called Life/Art Process. Gestalt principles of awareness in the ‘here and now’ find a structure in the Principles of the Creative Process, a central theoretical model of the Life/Art Process offering a holistic approach to creativity. The experience of physical, emotional, and mental awareness through movement extends into the field of artistic expression in dance and visual arts. The creative encounter between dance and art follows guidelines of the Psychokinetic Visualisation Process as applied to therapeutic settings. Key words: transformative potential of dance, Gestalt and dance, Principles of the Creative Process, Psychokinetic Visualisation Process, from the narrative to the abstract, the intelli- gence of the body."
On safe ground: using sensorimotor approaches in trauma
Authors: Taylor Miriam
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: Drawing on insights from neuroscience research, particularly in respect of autonomic arousal, brain structures, and neural plasticity, this article considers the impact of recent developments in the treatment of trauma, and ways of integrating new under standing with current Gestalt methodology. Sensorimotor trauma therapy offers some new concepts through which safe and effective trauma treatment can be reconsidered. Through the use of clinical examples, the article discusses the application of three sensorimotor concepts, integrating them with Gestalt practice. There is also a brief description of the role of defensive systems in trauma work from a sensorimotor perspective. Relational aspects of this way of working are integrated into the text. Key words: trauma, sensorimotor, resources, window of tolerance, ANS arousal, defensive systems, figure formation, fixed gestalts, creative adjustment."

The Ending is the Beginning
Authors: Scott Janice
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: This paper argues there is an important place for time-limited Gestalt psychotherapy in the provision of psychotherapeutic support, both in the public and private sector. In an age where resources are limited many individuals find short-term therapy is the only option. For other client pups it is the therapy of choice. This paper describes short-term counselhg in the context of a service for qualified nursing staff in the British National Health Service (WS). h examining the effectivenas of this form of psychotherapy, the paper emphasises the importance of using focus idenacation and reports how a maximum of twelve sessions plus an assessment session can be confronting, demanding and successful. The paper also explores the impIications of beginning a therapy relationship when the end is already in sight. The paper highlights the need for more research into the practice of Gestalt time-limited psychotherapy. Key wad: time-limited psychotherapy, National Health Service, assessment, focus idenamtion, endings, research."
Large groups, collective gestalts and prejudices – autoethnographic reflections on attending large groups in training
Authors: Kincel Adam
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: This is a single case study on attending large groups in psychotherapy training using autoethnographic theory. Originating in a description of the personal experiences of the author attending large groups, this article presents an introduction to a wide range of large groups across different therapeutic modalities and examines an application of Gestalt therapy theory to understanding large group processes. A proposition is made to consider collective gestalts in working with large groups and to understand them as an ongoing dialogue among often opposing social forces. It is suggested that openness towards one’s own prejudices, and a rejection of finality create supportive conditions for attending to collective gestalts when participating and facilitating large groups. The article concludes with describing outcomes of large groups in three areas: diversity, learning therapeutic skills, and community building. Key words: large groups, autoethnography, prejudices, diversity, groups, psychotherapy training."

Undoing the shame spiral: working with a narcissistic client trapped in a self-hating depression
Authors: Greenberg Elinor
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: Narcissistic clients are easily shamed and can rapidly spiral down into a ‘self-hating’ depression in which they see themselves as totally worthless. Unlike most other types of depressions, a self-hating depression can come and go rapidly in response to external criticism or praise. This article describes how to use the Gestalt therapy concept of figure/ ground formation in order to facilitate a quick shift in the client’s awareness away from what is perceived as shameful about the self to what is authentically positive. Key words: shame, figure/ground formation, narcissism, self-hating depression."

Taking a triangular perspective: co-parenting and Gestalt therapy
Authors: Merenda Aluette
Published: June 2023

"Abstract: The aim of this article is to go beyond dyadic observational units to consider the parent–child relationship starting from a primary triad formed by parents1 and the child. This triad could be analysed as an interactive matrix within the many possible combinations of new families (e.g. step families, childfree and LAT couples). In Gestalt therapy, the extension of this framework may promote an effective connection between research and clinical work: new units of observation could be processed through contact boundaries between parents with their children, as well as other family members. Key words: co-parenting, triadic assessment procedures, new family figures, Gestalt therapy."
Self Under Siege: An Alzheimer’s Case Study
Authors: Wheeler Gordon
Published: June 2023

"Editor’s Note: The following article is extracted from a longer account, titled ‘Self under Siege: Identity, Memory and Story – an Alzheimer’s Journal’ (to be published as part of a book, The Long Goodbye, in preparation). Gordon Wheeler describes and reflects upon his Aunt Margaret’s changing mental state over an eight-year period up to her death in 2000. During this time, suffering from Alzheimer’s, Margaret loses the capacity for preserving a coherent self-story. However, she compensates for this with ever more ‘nimble skipping and creative covering’, as Wheeler describes it, confirming the Gestalt view of self as the ‘organiser of experience’. While much deteriorates, the fundamental nature of ‘who Margaret is’ remains mysteriously intact and whether Gestalt therapy theory can adequately portray this phenomenon is left as a question. The account is notable in three ways. First, it demonstrates a type of informative, observation-based, personal research of a kind that is too little explored and appreciated. Second, Wheeler raises significant questions about the Gestalt theory of the self. Third, it is a human story, told with affectionate understanding and wry humour – an inspiring synthesis of intellectual curiosity and compassion."

Authors: Barber Paul

"Interviewer's Note: Joseph Zinker trained with Fritz Perls and worked alongside Abraham Maslow. Besides being a leading exponent of Gestalt therapy, he is a bridge to its earliest roots. Joseph Zinker's seminal work Creative Process in Gestalt Therapy (Zhker, 19781, pmkayed an approach to Gestalt - which though clifiidly aware and gracefully therapeutic - was as much a celebration of life md an expression of being Interestingly, hs work c~iond the 'art and aesthetics of Gestalt' at a time when the 'science of Gestalt', social acceptability and accreditation were tending to preoccupy the Gestalt community.

His influence beyond the GestaEt community is eviden~ed in an earlier interview in the BGJ with Robin Skynner (Hemming, 1995)' a founding member of the Institute of Family Therapy and the Znstitute of Group Analysis, who cited how much he appreciated Joseph Zinker's clarity of approach and thinking around resistance (as portrayed in ln Search of Good Fom (Zinkes, 1994))."

Published: June 2023

"Abstract: In this article I revisit the understanding of the interpersonal developed by the founders of Gestalt therapy (in particular Laura Perls and some other Gestalt therapy writers). I aim to order and differentiate the terms relationship, contact and dialogue. I will explore some contradictions and unanswered questions and then elaborate on some central characteristics of the dialogic. At the end of the article I contrast the term 'normative dialogue', as it is discussed widely in Gestalt therapy, with 'intentional dialogue', which I hope may open perspectives for further development of the Gestalt approach. Key words: dialogue, Gestalt therapy, contact, relationship."

Does the Division of Domestic Value Chains Affect the Export Binary Margin
Authors: Liu Jing
Published: June 2023

This study examines the potential heterogeneous effects of domestic value chains (DVCs) on two different paths of export expansion, namely the intensive margin and the extensive margin. Using panel data of 195 prefecture-level cities in China spanning from 2000 to 2013, this paper explores the association between DVCs and export binary margin. The results indicate that DVCs exhibit a significant positive U-shaped relationship with the export intensive margin, while it has a linear positive effect on the export extensive margin. Additionally, market integration and market competition emerge as important mechanisms through which DVCs influence the city’s export binary margin. In addition, the study suggests that central and western regions' integration into DVCs more strongly promotes local export expansion compared to eastern regions. Overall, the empirical evidence presented in this paper contributes to enhancing the understanding of the development pattern of DVCs in China from the perspective of trade competitiveness.

This paper uses the daily closing price data of the Shanghai Composite Index from December 19, 1999, to May 6, 2022, to investigate the calendar effect of the logarithmic return of the Shanghai Composite Index. The research results show that China's Shenzhen stock market is inefficient and has a negative Tuesday effect, which empirically proves the non-efficiency of China's stock market and the calendar effect in behavioral finance in China's stock market.
Housing Development and Redevelopment in Hong Kong

Redevelopment, in essence, is good as it can renew specific urban areas and bring new energy into the city. But what people tend to forget in the aftermath of the redevelopment of residential estates often tends to be quite grim, considering the residents that will likely be relocated and their neighbourhood gentrified, directly and indirectly. Therefore, redevelopment can be seen as a double-edged sword. It will better the city landscape and generally increase the housing stock while dissatisfying some affected individuals.

Authors: Gao Gengjun , Liu Wenyan
Published: June 2023

The core of the VRP problem is the process of distribution from the distribution center through multi-demand points under the condition of considering a variety of factors, and the VFP problem, as the precursor to the VRP problem, is that the distribution center carries out reasonable loading and loading according to the needs of multiple demand points. Both are important research topics in the logistics industry. The two influence and restrict each other in the distribution link, and are an indispensable part of the distribution link. This paper combines the two to study the joint optimization problem of VRP problem and VFP problem of urban logistics distribution, which is conducive to the effective integration of logistics and transportation resources. In this study, multi-category fresh agricultural products are taken as the research object, and the joint optimization of three-dimensional loading and distribution routes of multi-category fresh agricultural products at multiple task demand points in a distribution center is studied. In the process of joint optimization, the fragile characteristics of some products and the different sizes of each product feature are considered, and a three-dimensional loading-distribution route joint optimization model is established. In the process of joint optimization of stowage and distribution, the fragile characteristics of some products and the different sizes of each product feature are considered, and a three-dimensional joint optimization model of stowage and distribution route is established. The multi-objective problem with the largest load rate and the smallest mileage is converted into a single-objective function with the lowest cost; Secondly, the application of GA-TS hybrid algorithm to joint optimization is proposed. Finally, a study simulation is performed. The distribution scheme and loading scheme affect the size of the loading rate and the number of miles delivered. Distribution centers have found that proper stacking can effectively ensure vehicle load rates while reducing operating costs.

The Impact of Financing Structure on Enterprise’ Overseas Direct Investment: A Case of A-share Listed Companies in China
Authors: Wang Jiaming
Published: June 2023

This research reviewed relevant literature and theories to analyze the influence of financing structure on enterprises' overseas direct investment and its influence mechanism. The panel data of 1,725 Chinese A-share listed companies from 2000 to 2020 was used. The debt-to-equity ratio index was used to measure the corporate financing structure, and the model was established combining the control variables at the enterprise level. The Probit model was used for benchmark regression, and the Logit and negative binomial panel model were used for robustness tests. At the same time, the influence mechanism was analyzed from the perspective of enterprise innovation research and development and productivity, as well as the heterogeneity analysis and endogeneity test. The conclusion is as follows: (1) The financing structure affected the overseas direct investment of enterprises. The high proportion of equity financing in the financing structure of enterprises was conducive to the generation of overseas investment projects and the increase in scale (2) The financing structure affected the overseas direct investment of enterprises through innovation, research and development, and productivity of enterprises. (3) According to the results of industry heterogeneity, the financing structure of manufacturing enterprises did not have a significant impact on their overseas direct investment.
Does Financial Development Promote Carbon Reduction in China? A Non-Linear Test Based on The Role of Structural Optimization
Authors: Xie Fangyuan , Zhou Xiaoxiao
Published: June 2023

In the context of green transformation, both financial development and structural adjustment are considered as means to achieve carbon neutrality in China. A model is constructed based on dynamic panel data of 285 cities and 30 provinces in China from 2003 to 2019 to measure the impact of financial development on carbon emissions from the perspectives of financial efficiency, financial scale, and financial structure, while considering the industrial structure, factor endowment structure, and energy consumption structure as moderating variables to examine the direct and indirect effects of financial development on carbon emission reduction. The results showed that the impact of different dimensions of financial development on carbon emissions showed an “inverted U-shaped” non-linear relationship, showing a tendency to promote and then inhibit carbon emissions. When considering the regulation effect, the different structural breakdown dimensions do not change the shape of the curve. The results of the heterogeneity analysis showed that this effect is more pronounced in resource cities than in non-resource cities. Based on this, macroeconomic regulation and structural optimization are proposed from the perspective of the government and enterprises, to contributing to an earlier crossing of the financial development threshold and the achievement of carbon neutrality.

In recent years, the financial sharing center has become a hot spot, many large multinational enterprises set up their own financial sharing center, what is more, the financial sharing center is set up as a separate company, in order to more convenient division of rights and responsibilities, but also can widely accept the business of other enterprises, in order to increase their own revenue. In these financial sharing centers, expense reimbursement is an important part, and the scientific and smooth process is the key to determine the working efficiency of employees. Therefore, constantly optimizing the expense reimbursement process of the financial sharing center has become one of the important tasks of the financial department. This paper takes P Business Service (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. as an example to specifically describe how to optimize the expense reimbursement process to improve work efficiency.
