In the I-Thou meeting we learn how the self of the client is being created and how healthy functioning is being supported and interrupted. In Gestalt therapy morality is based on organismic needs. There is no vision of what behaviour is more desirable for the client. Where the client has a choice of behaviours the therapist works on increasing the client's awareness of antecedence, organismic reaction, consequences of behaviour etc. Gestalt therapy enables clients to discover what is moral in accordance with their own choices and values.
People are response-able, the primary agents in determining their own behaviour.
When people confuse responsibility with 'shoulds' they manipulate themselves and are not integrated and spontaneous. The therapist may disclose a feeling or share something of their own values but only in the interest of expanding the client's own awareness of alternatives and not as a means of inculcating values. Maturity is a continuous process and not a fixed stage. A mature person engages in a process of creative adjustment. Creative adjustment is a relationship between a person and their environment in which a person takes responsibility for creating conditions conducive to their own well-being.
