The specialised course with its methodological focus is carried out by the following cooperation partner:
Institute for Integrative Gestalt Therapy Vienna (IGWien) for the method of Integrative Gestalt Therapy
The IGWien has been offering legally recognised training in Integrative Gestalt Therapy in Austria since 1998. The IGWien emerged from many years of co-operation between its Austrian trainers and the IGWürzburg and can look back on a 20-year training tradition. It is internationally orientated due to its networking with its sister institute IGWürzburg. The theoretical and methodological approach of the IGW was originally characterised by the Cleveland School of Gestalt Therapy (Erv and Miriam Polster, Joseph Zinker, Ed Nevis), whereby a separate approach was developed in the course of the training activities that began in 1976. IGWien is a member of the Austrian Federal Association for Psychotherapy (ÖBVP) and an associate member of the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT).
It is based on the obvious, on the phenomenon, and focusses on the human being in his or her present appearance, encompassing the physical, mental and spiritual aspects, in the context of his or her life. Gestalt therapy sees the human being as a being capable of responsibility, oriented towards social encounters and relationships, who can realise his or her potential in a lifelong process of growth and integration. The experiential and experimental approach has enabled the integration of psychodramatic techniques, bodywork, work with creative media and imaginative processes into practice from the very beginning. Due to its field-theoretical background and its socio-critical tradition, Gestalt therapy is fundamentally systemic. The process in Gestalt therapy is a lively interaction between client and therapist on the basis of the I-Thou encounter (M. Buber). Awareness, recognising and processing through contactful experience in the here and now are seen as decisive agents in the development process.
The therapeutic concern is the restoration of organismic self-regulation, the development of creative adaptation and the integration of split-off parts of the self. Conscious perception is both the path and the goal of the therapeutic process.
