Fritz Pearls, the father of Gestalt therapy.
Pearls believed that by focusing on the past and avoiding the immediacy of living in the present, people “live in their heads” rather than “living in the world.”
Experiencing the present.
Gestalt focuses on experiencing the present in three areas of consciousness: intellectual, emotional and the body. It encourages you to deal with your conflicts to better understand and find yourself.
Organismic self-regulation.
Any living organism is capable of self-regulation. It is what defines life.
Humanist psychology seeks to reconcile you with your own knowledge. To meet your inner sage, which is actually you.
You already have a deep knowledge of how to live. All you need is to contact internally with yourself to find your own path to wisdom.
Drama influence.
Fritz Pearls began playing drama before becoming a therapist and worked as an actor in the Berlin company of the legendary German director Max Reinhardt. Hence, the development of his methodology was greatly influenced by that experience.
Art as personal expression
Also for this reason, Pearls was interested in directing actors and working with dancers using art as an expression of the person, encouraging artists to deal with their emotions and feelings through movement and performance. His experience with actors and dancers allowed him to establish a link between art and Gestalt therapy.
His way of doing therapy was seen by many as a form of drama.
