Reactivity—An Integral Gestalt Approach to Fights and Strife and a More Peaceful World
Authors: Fuhr Reinhard , Gremmler-Fuhr Martina 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
In communication in all aspects of our lives, we are often confronted with a phenomenon that is hardly ever discussed in detail, which was introduced as “reaction formation” in Perls, Hefferline and Goodman (1951), and which is of vital importance for peace and conflict in everyday life. We have developed this concept which we call “reactivity” further in theory and practice. Reactivity is basically an emergency reflex of fight, flight or playing dead without any obvious emergency in view. We will describe this phenomenon in some detail, and will analyze it using Ken Wilber's four perspectives of reality (“four quadrants”). We will summarize plausible theories on the genesis of reactivity and show ways to overcome this kind of contact function, which is destructive and burdensome over time. It is to be hoped that this could contribute to a little more peace in our private and public lives.
In Search of a Theory of Practice: What Does Gestalt Have To Offer the Field of Mediation?
Authors: Gaynier Lisa Parola 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The practice of alternative dispute resolution in general, and mediation in particular, is gaining currency and popularity within many segments of the American and international communities, probably as a result of dissatisfaction with court-based mediation.
This article discusses mediation with particular emphasis on transformative mediation which bears a resemblance to Gestalt applications to client work, but lacks a coherent theory of practice. The author also proposes ways in which Gestalt theories apply to and strengthen the practice of mediation.
Using the Paradoxical Theory of Change in Organizations
Authors: Maurer Rick 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Arnold Beisser's paradoxical theory of change has had a profound impact on the practice of Gestalt therapy. The notion of “becoming what is” rather than trying to force a change applies equally well at other levels of systems. This article explores ways in which Beisser's theory can be used to orient and guide the work of people who are trying to influence the work of organizations.
Jewish Roots of Gestalt Therapy
Authors: Knijff Ernst 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Since the founders of Gestalt therapy were Jews, we may assume that the philosophy and some basic concepts are influenced by Jewish traditions and modes of thinking. In this article I will show which important concepts and approaches have Jewish roots, and the difficulties in translating them into Western thinking. I will start by exploring what the terms Jewish and Judaism mean, and then concentrate on the Jewish anti-totalitarian world view and relational thinking, which seem to be two of the most widely misunderstood concepts in Gestalt therapy. I will insert a few Jewish jokes in order to demonstrate another particular trait of the way of life of Jews as survivors: humor.
Hubris: A Gestalt Alternative to Groupthink
Authors: Karp H. B. , Jackson Kanata A. 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Hubris is to the individual what groupthink is to the group. While Mainstream OD has been effective in dealing with the negative effects of groupthink, it has not addressed hubris as a dynamic because hubris is an intrapsychic, although highly destructive, phenomenon. A Gestalt perspective is more helpful in dealing with this problem. Hubris grows in the conditions of pure and consistent positive feedback, and is identified by eight symptoms. These symptoms are: the myth of invulnerability; the myth of omnipotence; belief in one's press; seeing oneself as messianic; belief that one is infallible; the interpretation of external dissension as ignorance; having had the experience of being previously misunderstood; and belief that one can empower others. While it is particularly difficult to work with, eight tactics are presented to avoid or deal with hubris.
The Story of Daniel: Gestalt Therapy Principles and Values
Authors: Cardoso-Zinker Sandra 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Working with children takes us to unexpected places. Children are in constant movement and transformation. They surprise us with their understanding of the world, and introduce us to a different perspective and experience of life. The work is fascinating and sometimes disorienting.
There are some children who need help with the process of growing up. They are not able to integrate their own experience with a world that is presented to them. In this article I bring you a story of a boy who needed help to enter the world as a whole being. In achieving this, he also changed the world.
Gestalt therapy principles and values will be discussed in this case presentation.
The Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Optimism
Authors: Melnick Joseph , Nevis Sonia March 
Published: February 2018

AbstractOptimism is embedded in every form of psychotherapy practice, from psychoanalysis to behavior modification. Our goal is to help clarify where Gestalt therapy's theory and practice place it on the therapeutic spectrum. After first outlining our theoretical background, we explore various definitions of optimism, differentiating it from pessimism, hope, and courage. We then describe why we believe that psychotherapy is an inherently optimistic enterprise. Finally, after surveying the emerging field of positive psychology, specifically focusing on the work of Seligman, we discuss optimism using a Gestalt frame.We conclude that optimism is inherent in the Gestalt approach which, at its core, is about how to approach and embrace the unknown.
Witness for the Client: A Judge's Role in Increasing Awareness in the Defendant
Authors: Wheeler Joyce A. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractTraditionally, a judge remains objective and sufficiently detached to carry out the responsibility of making objective and reasonable decisions based on the evidence presented and the applicable law. Moving from judge to witness supports both the judge and the criminal defendants in the potentially transformative process in a new adult drug treatment court. This article discusses what it means to be a judge who both witnesses and judges. A drug court session illustrates the stance of judge as witness and the promising relationship between the judge and defendant when the judge also serves as witness.
Commentary on Joyce Wheeler's Article
Authors: O'Neill Brian 
Published: February 2018

AbstractA drug court takes place within a wider organism/environment field, and in New South Wales, Australia, drug courts have been tested as part of the unique Drug Summit initiated by the State Government. This article considers the various phenomenological realities from which drug courts can be viewed. It offers the view that in some ways, drug courts are a creative adjustment by the wider society, with the focus of drug-related problems placed solely on the illicit drug user. The article proposes possibilities for extension of the phenomenological inquiry and dialogical relationship within drug courts to further support the work by Wheeler, and counteract the potential scapegoating of illicit drug users.
Contemporary Gestalt Therapy Theory: Organizing Perspective For Juvenile Sex Offender Treatment
Authors: Brownell Philip 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThe following synthesis was worked out while the author was a Senior Psychologist in the community mental health system in North Carolina, working as Director of a tri-county juvenile sex offender treatment program. It came about in the effort to provide a Gestalt therapy rationale with which to organize the practical work necessary at the time. The article briefly describes adolescent sex offenders and summarizes effective practices that have been used in their treatment. It demonstrates how the coherent theory behind contemporary Gestalt therapy harmonizes with those treatment interventions. It shows how Gestalt therapy theory brings potential order to these otherwise disparate interventions, and how it provides guidance to clinicians in juvenile sex offender treatment.
Dilemmas Working With Victims Of Detention
Authors: Levin Jay 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
This paper explores some of the conditions of detention and the role of the professional mental health worker laboring under these conditions. The ethical, professional and legal responsibilities of the mental health care practitioner are the object of inquiry.
Indefinite detention without trial, which often includes long periods of solitary confinement, is a form of cruel, inhuman, and degrading suffering. Terror and torture find a home in the detention situation and are two crucial characteristics of the anguish, distress, and torment of a detainee's experience.
0.15 in The detention context gives rise to conflicting loyalties for the mental health professional: faithfulness to a set of ethical practices, legal requirements, and the responses to the victim. The mental health worker is therefore in continual conflict. Effective psychotherapy is impossible under these conditions.

Emerging Role of 177Lu in Nuclear Oncology: A Brief Review
Authors: Anna Khan , Vijayta Chadha D. 
Published: February 2018

With the innovations in nuclear medicine techniques, Lutetium 177 (177Lu) has epitomized as a revolutionary theranostic agent- with both scintigraphic and therapeutic properties. The present review focusses on the introduction of 177Lu as a promising modality for tumor diagnosis and therapy in widespread metastases . Being a shorter β-range emitter providing better irradiation of smaller tumor volumes, 177Lu- based PRRT is being increasingly used in patients with somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors. Clinical trials with 177Lu–DOTATATE and 177Lu–DOTATOC have gained considerable interest in recent years with successful tumor regression in patients with malignant metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Especially, therapy with 177Lu-DOTATATE PRRT has reported to significantly improve the quality of life of Gastroenteropancreatic NET patients because of higher affinity of DOTATATE for the somatostatin type 2 receptors. In addition, this review also sheds light on the diagnostic and palliative aspects of 177Lu which also serves to be an attractive candidate for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for radiation synovectomy of small to medium sized joints. Enlisting all the said features, 177Lu is strongly emerging as a promising theranostic agent that could possibly endow Nuclear Medicine an edge over other conventional therapies in near future.
Håndbold i kristendommens tegn

Handball in the name of ChristianityIn the further development of industrial society that took place during the 20th century, a need soon made itself felt for cultural activity other than that provided by religion. One result was that sport became popular among young people. In the Christian KFUM-associations they began discussing the advantages of offering sport as part of their program. Sport could be used to capture youth and thereby make converts to Christianity. On the other hand, there was the dangerous possibility of sport leading youth away from Jesus. In Fredericia members of KFUM began playing handball in 1926. It soon turned out that the sceptics were right. KFUM gained more new members, but they did not come from Christian societies, and they didn’t allow themselves to bee converted to Christianity. In fact they would rather play handball than spend their time with the Bible. This lead to internal difficulties within Fredericia KFUM, where Christian leaders of the sports sectionn tried to put a stop to this »unfortunate« development. First they forbade members to join non-Christian clubs as long they were members of KFUM, then they forbade the teams to join »non« KFUM tournaments and finally they placed a missionary on the board of directors of the sports section to »keep an eye on people.« In the meantime KFUM’s sports section was hit by the phenomenon of secularisation, – in popular terms, a process whereby the impact of Christianity on society in general was gradually decreasing. Secularisation hit Fredericia KFUM so forcefully that during the 1950’s and 60’s members and leaders chose to spent all their time on handball at the expense of proclaiming the Christian message. When in the 1960’s the number of handball players had risen to the point that it was necessary to play matches on Sunday, the church suddenly began to block handball activities. The handball players of KFUM were prepared to play during times intended for church services but a number of leaders were of a different opinion. In the end the handball players had it their way and the church service lost its sacred status.
Knivsberg. Den tysksindede befolknings Fest- og Turnplads i Sønderjylland ca. 1920-1945
Authors: Hansen Jørn 
Published: February 2018

En skildring af turnbevægelsen, den tyske gymnastikbevægelse, i grænseområdet mellem Danmark og Tyskland i årene 1920-1945.Knivsberg. The “Turn-” and Sports Park for the Pro-German Community in southern Jutland.Not far from Aabenraa lies Knivsberg. This hilltop locality area is situated in Slesvig or southern Jutland, an area whose history is bound up with the unsettled relationship of the twin duchies of Slesvig and Holsten to the Danish and German states respectively. This complicated history is the reason for the presence of Danish and German minorities in this border region ever since the formation of nation states in the 19th century. Briefly stated, until 1864 Slesvig-Holsten was united under the Danish monarchy. In 1848 a liberation movement arose in the wake of The March Uprising against the Danish absolutist monarchy, and caused the Danish state to cede Slesvig-Holsten to Prussia in 1864. After a referendum in 1920, the present border between Denmark and Germany was established and from then on Knivsberg became a locality in Denmark. In the period after 1864, the “Turn”-Movement played an active role in establishing German ideology in Slesvig where Danish culture was strongest. The article examines the Pro-German community in northern Slesvig with special references to the Turn-Movement and to the Knivsbjerg Monument. It shows how the emergence of Nazism in Germany was regarded by the minority as a gratifying and natural development of the former victorious German empire, which, of course, included northern Slesvig

Analyse af den belgiske fodboldspiller Jean-Marc Bosmans sejr over de store fodboldorganisationer ved EF-domstolen og afgørelsens betydning for professionel sportsudøvelse inden for fodboldens verden.The Case of the Stubborn Belgian – The Bosman CaseOne of the most important issues in recent times for professional soccer and professional sport as a whole has been the Bosman case and verdict. It is a case, which, when it came to a head on December 15th 1995, shook up the world of professional sports. The Belgian soccer-player, Jean-Marc Bosman, had successfully fought and won his case against all of the major soccer associations at the EU courts, and hereby destroyed the former player transfer system. With a description of the principles in the Bosman case, the article will throw light on the central and most important parts of the verdict. In this first part the entire situation that resulted in the lawsuit will be considered. The second part of the article is an analysis of the consequences of the verdict for professional sports, focusing mainly on soccer, where there also will be looked back on the four years that have passed since the verdict. Again the starting point is within the world of soccer, and from here the article will draw parallels to other professional sports.
Om idræt, sociologi og historie i oplevelsessamfundet
Authors: Nagbøl Søren 
Published: February 2018

On sport, sociology and history in a culture of sensationThis essay On sport, sociology and history in a culture of sensation deals with the dilemma of sociology and the culture of sensation. Over the past 20 years, everyday life has become increasingly aestheticized to the point where it is no longer dominated by economic but by psycho-physical presence. We find ourselves part of a society in rapid motion, surrounded by changes which have great significance for the development of everyday life. How are we supposed to find our way through this multiplicity of signs, of accidents and events? This is a problem for sociology and its sphere of interest. This theme will be considered here in relation to an introduction to the sociology of figuration and knowledge. References will be made to symbolisation processes, to socialisation and fragmentation in a culture of sensation.
Idræt og politik. Niels Bukh i Østen, 1931
Authors: Bonde Hans 
Published: February 2018

Artiklen gennemgår gymnastikpædagogens Niels Bukhs udenlandsrejser og internationale gennembrud, som det tog sig ud ud i 1930'erne, og fokuserer særligt på rejsen til Japan og Bukhgymnastikkens betydning for den japanske (skole)idræt.Sport and Politics – Niels Bukh in the East (1931)With his tour of the world in 1931, the Danish teacher of gymnastics, Niels Bukh, secured his reputation both at home and abroad as one of the great figures of his country, – a picture supported by the Danish Foreign Office regardless of the government’s political alignment. Bukh’s group was received by the highest ranking representatives of the Japanese occupying forces in Manchuria and Korea and became a part of Japanese propaganda in the region. The fact that Bukh’s gymnasts performed in Shenyang, the capital of Manchuria, shortly before the invasion may have been a small contribution to the attempt on the part of the Japanese military to persuade the Chinese that all was quiet on that front. Niels Bukh’s long performance tour of Japan was a triumph for him and undoubtedly also acted as a meeting point for a Japanese population which was looking for fellowship in the throes of the anxieties, not to say the passions, of war. The spread of Bukh’s gymnastics in Japanese school P.E. programmes of the 1930’s can be seen in the context of the government’s view that they constituted an efficient form of P.E. in the militarisation of youth which culminated in the escalation of the war against China in 1937 and the attack on Pearl Harbour on 7th December, 1941. Japan was the country in which Niels Bukh’s system of gymnastics became most widespread, – a fact which can be attested in Japan to this very day. Surprisingly enough, Danish gymnastics have probably made a greater quantitative contribution to Japanese physical culture than vice versa.
Kvindeidrættens pionerer og den moderne kvinde

Published: February 2018

En analyse af 1. og 2. generationspionererne inden for kvindeidræt og deres betydning for kvinders deltagelse i gymnastik og sport.The pioneers of women’s sport – and the modern womanThe article contains an analysis of early women’s sport in Denmark seen through the eyes of the first and second generation of sporting pioneers. By means of three approaches relating respectively to health and science, education and training and emancipation and sports culture, an attempt is made to create a balanced understanding of early developments up to the beginning of the 20th century with respect both to a delimitation of the period and to an ideological starting point. The analysis indicates that the period up until the beginning of the 20th century can be divided into periods before and after the 1880’s, after which time new knowledge regarding woman’s physical body takes on decisive significance for the understanding of femaleness. The first generation of pioneers were to a large extent in agreement in their views on sex and physical activity, while the second generation after about the 1880’s demonstrate at least two fundamentally different views on femaleness, sport and gymnastics. One view, which took an form of adjusted femaleness, inner emancipation and gymnastics as its point of departure, was associated with a view of the possibilities open to women during the period 1850-80 and before; the other view is associated with what I call in the article an extended femaleness, outer emancipation, gymnastics and sport and was linked to a modern way of thinking that lasted well into the 20th century.
Cykelsport og fremskridtsoptimisme
Authors: Møller Verner 
Published: February 2018

Tese: Doping i cykelsporten hænger sammen med sportens genuint moderne karakter.Competitive cycling and confidence in progressThis article is a reflection on the fact that studies have demonstrated that doping is more common in competitive cycle racing than in other branches of sport. It attempts to show that this is a difference that is historically determined. The thesis that forms the background for this analysis is that the use of doping in competitive cycling is related to its genuinely modern nature. The author argues that the use of doping mirrors modernity’s confidence in progress and goes on to show that in all probability the crisis in competitive cycling is no chance consequence of police raids in France and Italy, but must be understood fundamentally as a consequence of the crisis of modernity. While competitive cycling in practice mirrors modernity’s confidence in progress by unconcernedly making use of performance enhancing substances produced by modern science, the relatively new anti-doping campaign is an expression of increasing concern and uncertainty regarding the project called modernity. In other words the miserable state of competitive cycling mirrors the fact that modernity has gone out of fashion and anti-modernity is now “in”.
Degeneration - Den sunde krop som symbol
Authors: Bonde Hans 
Published: February 2018

Artiklen, som indgår i en forelæsningsrække om Sundhed og Idræt, behandler den stigende fedmeepidemi og ser på menneskekroppens forfald. Dertil diskuteres sundhedsdebattens og -kampagnernes fokus og vinkling.Degeneration – the healthy body as symbolThis article is an inaugural lecture for the first Danish chair in sportshistory. It does not take the form of a traditional research article but is rather an essay of a heuristic nature. The theme is a diagnosis of notions of degeneration in about 1900 and today. As was the case during the first half of the 20th century, we are today confronted with threats in regard to the decay of the human body, not least in the form of an epidemic of obesity and a lack of exercise in our daily lives. Can we learn from the dangerous political and religious health fanaticism which developed through anxiety about degeneration after the turn of the century? How do we prevent the huge health problems causing the onset of collective hysteria?
