GESTALT THERAPY TRAINING CENTER--NORTHWEST in Portland, OR will
once again offer 'Buddhist Psychology and Contemporary Gestalt
Therapy: Bringing Mindfulness to Psychotherapy Practice.' The
format is a year-long training (4 weekend series) beginning late fall
2013 and ending spring 2014.
This program offers therapists an opportunity to discover the
compatibility of Buddhist psychology/mindfulness and Gestalt therapy,
and to enhance self and other awareness in the context of a supportive
and engaged learning community. Didactic and experiential, the training
includes an in-depth overview of Buddhist psychology principles and
Gestalt therapy concepts highlighting the overlaps and compatibilities
in the two systems. The experiential includes guided
meditation/meditation instruction, as well as working in
patient-therapist dyads under direct supervision, and the opportunity
to work with and observe work done by the senior trainers/faculty.
Senior faculty Eva Gold, Psy. D. and Steve Zahm, Ph. D. bring over
thirty years of clinical experience, and decades of training and
teaching experience to the training. We have both trained and presented
nationally and internationally, and have written extensively on Gestalt
therapy theory and practice. In addition we have studied Buddhist
psychology and practiced Vipassana/Insight meditation for many years.
The application for the fall program is now available on our web site.

Human beings spontaneously co-create with one another through the
forming of gestures, postures breathing and language. These movements
reveal historic and enduring relational themes that constitute and
contribute to this present situation. In this two-day workshop, three
experienced clinicians explore how co-creation emerges within session
and can elucidate the dynamics of the relational field.
TRAINING PROGRAM 2013-2015, New York City
DEVELOPMENTAL SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
developmental process embodied within the clinical moment
with Ruella Frank, Ph.D.
Starts October 2013
Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy, created by Ruella Frank, Ph.D., is
a relational and movement-oriented approach to psychotherapy within a
Gestalt therapy framework.
Inspired by the work of developmental psychologists and somatic
practitioners, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy is a template for
understanding and working with early psychophysical blocks as they
emerge in the here-and-now of therapy. Attending to movement patterns
is particularly powerful when guided by contemporary developmental
theory.
Four Training Modules, two per year in fall and spring, five full days
and one half day per module.

LEVERAGING POLARITIES IN COACHING TAPPING THE POWER OF "both/and"
WHEN CLIENT INTERESTS CONFLICT. What happens when clients view
difficult situations or dilemmas only as problems to be solved? How
much time will they (and you as their coach) spend dissecting their
clashing interests in search of the elusive right or wrong answer only
to come up short each time? Some situations, issues, and problems
are not always "solvable" in the traditional sense; they are
interdependent energy systems or polarities that require "both/and"
thinking. Gestalt theory has historically acknowledged polarity
tensions and has evolved to include the Polarity Map and process -- a
vital competency needed by coaches, consultants, and other helping
professionals.

GESTALT EXPERIENCES IN RELATIONAL POWER - LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS. Using experiential activities, explore the legal
and ethical professional standards in relation to power differentials
and imbalances in teacher-student, counselor-client, therapist-patient
and supervisor-supervisee relationships. This workshop provides
an integrated perspective combining Gestalt therapy theory with social
construction and post-modern theories to better understand ways power
differentials can undermine learning environments as well as motivation
to change and possibilities for growth and development. Gestalt
experiments will engage you in dialogical contact increasing your
awareness of how perceptions of authority and power (both real and
imagined) are oftentimes culturally situated. We will experiment with
imbalances in hierarchical relationships where there are perceived
authorities who use their power in ways both positive and negative.

TEAM COACHING. Creating and sustaining dynamic and effective
teams is essential to organizational success yet often teams are
dysfunctional or are stuck in mediocre performance. Over the years
there have been many ways of assisting teams to increase their
satisfaction and performance; team building, team facilitation and
group process consultation being the more popular approaches.
Most recently, team coaching is promoted as a best practice for
increasing a team's satisfaction and performance, but what exactly is
team coaching? How is it different from other ways of working with
teams? What are the principles and tools needed to coach a team? This
workshop explores these basic issues using Gestalt and group theory as
a guide for observations and interventions.

MARIANNE FRY LECTURE 2013
Saturday 28th September, 2013, 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
Armada House, Bristol, UK
Dr Scilla Elworthy
The Cycle of Violence
In her lecture Scilla will investigate the concept of the cycle of
violence, showing how it operates in situations of acute violence, and
describe the stages of escalation which lead to the cycle repeating.
Scilla will give examples of how the cycle works at the political,
physical, psychological and spiritual levels, and will describe how
individuals and groups have successfully interrupted the cycle,
preventing its repetition. She will show how cycles of violence in hot
conflicts in different parts of the world can be very similar to cycles
of violence in families and communities. She will explore – and discuss
with the audience - how these cycles can most effectively be
interrupted and reversed.
The afternoon exploration will include an opportunity to investigate
our own feelings of outrage at perpetrators of violence, the temptation
to inhabit the moral high ground, and the possibility of transforming
anger into fuel for change.
Scilla Elworthy founded the Oxford Research Group in 1982 to develop
dialogue between nuclear weapons policy-makers and their critics, work
which included a series of dialogues between Chinese, Russian and
western nuclear scientists and military, and which formed the basis for
later treaties. To enable dialogue to take place, she and her team had
to build safe containers, which included having experienced mediators
working alongside the political meetings. She has also worked in Kenya,
Iraq, Palestine, South Africa, Zimbabwe, India, China, Algeria and the
Balkans – always trying to understand how the personal affects the
political and vice versa.
In 2002 Scilla founded Peace Direct to fund, promote and learn from
local peace-builders in conflict areas, leading to the acceptance by
the UN of the value and cost effectiveness of ‘locally-led’
initiatives. In 2003 she was awarded the Niwano Peace Prize and Peace
Direct was voted ‘Best New Charity’ in 2005. She was adviser to Peter
Gabriel, Desmond Tutu and Richard Branson in setting up ‘The Elders’;
she was director of programmes for the World Peace Festival Berlin in
2011, is chair of the Civil Society sector of the Hanwang Forum in
China; a Councillor of the World Future Council, patron of Gender
Rights and Equality Action Trust, Voice of a Woman, Oxford Research
Group and a member of the steering committee of PAX — a service to help
prevent wars and genocides.
The day: following the morning's lecture and lunch, the afternoon
session will include an experiential exploration of issues raised in
the lecture, led by Scilla Elworthy.
The cost of the day, including lunch and refreshments, is £70.00, with
an early bird price of £58.00 for bookings made before the end of June
2013 and a concessionary rate of £42.00 for trainees.

The Gestalt Field Perspective:
Methodology and Practice
By Seán Gaffney and Brian
O’Neill
Foreword by Malcolm Parlett
In this book, the authors do what I think is most essential for our
discipline. They describe the perspective but do not get too caught up
in the (at present) unfathomable aspects; nor do they get absorbed in
theory to the detriment of talking about practice – indeed, application
is their chief focus to which they return again and again. They draw
upon the field perspective, they utilise it, and explore its ideas in
practical, useful, intelligent ways. They have both made historic
contributions in applying their Gestalt skills to social and political
issues, and made a difference.
This book is solidly in the tradition of the original Gestalt therapy
founding group in New York, with their wide and ambitious view of the
potential for Gestalt thought and practice to make a difference, not
only to peoples’ personal lives and relationships, but to their working
and artistic engagement in the community, to educating the young, and
to raising political consciousness. I applaud the authors here for
taking further steps towards reinstating these values as central to the
Gestalt tradition. ( Malcolm Parlett)

The Nobel Quest: Psychotherapy and
the Holy
by Brian O'Neill
Since the beginning of time people have developed knowledge to make
sense of who we are and the world we live in. The ancient forms of
psychology (as in the original meaning of the study of the 'psyche' or
soul) included the visible and invisible aspects of reality - unlike
the current split today between secular and spiritual, between the
visible and the invisible which proliferates in Western culture. Most
modern psychologies, by attending mainly to the visible world, have
focused on that which will fade and die - the visible. The ancient
psychologies began in the visible realm and included the invisible
beyond external appearance. These approaches are seen by modern
psychologists as religions or spiritual practices. Yet ancient
psychologies were simply broader and more holistic, discovering the
source of the visible world in the invisible world. They discovered the
Holy and for many this Holy is God.
This is the aim of this book. To tell the story of the loss of the Holy
in psychology and regain this experience, as it is happening today. To
make whole the visible and invisible realities currently divided. It
offers a journey of exploration to discover a golden thread of the
wider reality that makes us essentially human. This wider reality helps
in understanding and healing the unavoidable sufferings of being human.

HYPNOTHERAPY INSTRUCTION
WITH A GESTALT EMPHASIS
The Hypnotherapy Training Institute is offering two more hypnotherapy
certification trainings in 2013. These comprehensive programs have a
special emphasis on the integration of Gestalt and hypnotic modalities.
They are experientially oriented, including demonstrations, group
processes and supervised practice. The additional access to the
subconscious mind via the skillful, sensitive use of a wide range of
hypnotic methods can create powerful synergies with Gestalt. In fact,
many Gestalt methods tend to be hypnotic, which is one of the reasons
Gestalt can be so effective.
The classes meet near San Francisco, California at the lovely Corte
Madera Inn, ten minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. They are designed
for experienced and prospective counseling and health professionals
from around the world.
The accelerated program begins August 3 and is four consecutive levels
of 50 hours per week. These classes draw students from many states and
countries each semester. HTI's program on weekends is designed for
northern Californians and is series of full day meetings on most
Saturdays and some Sundays, June 22 through September 15. Just a
portion of either program may be taken at a time. There are special
workshops within each training, including Hypnotic Gestalt Dreamwork.
The trainings can fill well in advance, so early registration is highly
recommended.
Currently celebrating our 35th Anniversary, the Hypnotherapy Training
Institute is a school licensed by the state of California since 1978,
and approved for various CEUs for professionals, including by the State
Board of Behavioral Sciences and the Board of Registered Nursing.
HTI's founder and primary instructor is Randal Churchill, author of
three teaching texts for professionals. His classic Regression
Hypnotherapy: Transcripts of Transformation is primarily about
the
integration of age regression and Gestalt, as is the companion volume,
Catharsis in Regression Hypnotherapy
, which has received an
extraordinary review from Robert Hall MD, former associate of Fritz
Perls. Churchill's award-winning text, Become the Dream: The
Transforming Power of Hypnotic Dreamwork, is about the
integration of
Gestalt dreamwork and hypnotherapy. Information about the three books
is featured at http://www.transformingpress.com.
Cheryl Canfield teaches substantial portions of each program. Her book
Profound Healing has received rave reviews from Joseph Chilton Pearce,
Wayne Dyer, Caroline Myss and Gerald Jampolsky.

with adults. We will relate these to infant development; movement
patterns; early relational trauma; the therapist’s attachment
styles/history; therapeutic containment/boundaries, and how to work
with touch. This workshop is suitable for practitioners/trainees from
all modalities who are interested in exploring both verbal and
non-verbal therapeutic interventions/processes.

3 day RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP ON GESTALT PSYCHOTHERAPY ORGANIZED BY
GESTALT FOUNDATION, PSYCHOTHERAPY & TRAINING CENTER (GREECE)
ENTITLED:
«AGGRESSION: ITS FUNCTIONAL & NON FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS ACCORDING TO
GESTALT THERAPY»
10 - 12 MAY 2013 / Montana Hotel Spa
- Karpenisi, GREECE
Gestalt Foundation, Psychotherapy & Training Center, proudly
announces the organization of its annual 3day Workshop, entitled:
«Aggression: Its functional and non-functional aspects according to
Gestalt Therapy».
Aggression is defined as the energy of action (or act), as stated by
Philip Lichtenberg.But when does this action connect the individual
with the environment in a functional way and when in a non-functional
one? And in which cases does the aggression of an individual express
drive, initiative, claim, self-defense, and when rage, anger, fear,
pain, reaction, depreciation, dominance, power? During the workshop we
will explore how the concept of aggression is defined and
differentiated in the theory of Gestalt therapy. We will indulge in the
twofold meaning of aggression and in the way aggression can be of use
to us both as individuals and as Gestalt psychotherapists, while
through theory and experience we will get familiar with the specific
subject on a personal, interpersonal and social level.
The Workshop is addressed to:
•Mental Health students and professionals: psychologists, physicians,
counselors, social workers, educators, teachers, nurses, who wish to
learn about Gestalt, as well as to individuals who want have a deeper
experience in the issues mentioned above. (experiential group)
•Gestalt psychotherapists or therapists from other approaches, with
clinical experience, who want to explore the above mentioned issues,
both in personal and supervising level. (advanced group)

Not for the Feint of Heart: Be Bold in Your Personal Growth
July 14-19, Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA
Mariah Fenton Gladis, MSS, LCSW
$650 – $3550
If you're “feint of heart,” you avoid confronting the emotional
injuries or habits that prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest.
You feint this way and that, preserving the status quo instead of
moving past obstacles. This workshop is not for the feint of heart—nor
the faint of heart. It’s for people who have a passionate commitment to
creating healthy relationships within healthy lives. It offers
opportunities to benefit from intensive individual healing work, which
may involve emotional injuries rooted in the past, recurring themes or
patterns of dysfunction, or personal longings in the here and now.
Whatever the content of your work, this workshop helps you:
• Discover the issues that are immediately
obstructing the quality of your life
• Learn contact skills to authentically and
effectively express yourself and assure healthy interaction with others
• Risk working deeply in an atmosphere of trust and
mutual support
• Expand your capacity for generosity and compassion
for yourself and others
The didactic and experiential sessions are particularly helpful for
human-relations professionals and those committed to a path of personal
betterment. Mariah Fenton Gladis, known for her effective and
innovative use of music to enrich the workshop experience, will blend
individual and group Gestalt work in an environment of trust,
compassion, and emotional generosity. A thirty-two-year survivor of Lou
Gehrig’s Disease, Mariah speaks with what she calls her “ALS accent,”
which will be translated. To register, go to

The Now-for-Next in Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy sees the therapeutic relationship as the occurring, the
coming to light of a co-creation between patient and therapist. For
Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb, Gestalt approach is focused on the desire
for contact that animates relational unease and on the process that
reveals its “music”. Thus the therapist stays in the here-and-now, but
also supports the now-for-next, the energy of contact that in any
suffering asks to be developed spontaneously.
In the workshop she offers a professional and human maturity developed
over the thirty years of passion she has brought to her tireless work
for Gestalt therapy in Italy and abroad. She expounds on many
stimulating reflections on various aspects of the contemporary Gestalt
approach: from the contribution of psychotherapy to contemporary
society, to the new understanding of aggression, to the concept of the
phenomenological field, to a redefinition of love in psychotherapy, to
the passing from a dyadic to triadic perspective thereby overcoming the
Oedipal epistemology, and to the support of the now-for-next in the
couple, in the family, and in groups.
Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb was born in 1956; she lives in Syracuse
(Italy), and travels extensively to teach in Italy and abroad. She is a
psychologist, a licensed psychotherapist, the founder and, since 1979,
director of the Istituto di Gestalt HCC, approved by the Italian
Minister for Universities, with premises in Syracuse, Palermo and
Milan. She is a Full Member of the New York Institute for Gestalt
Therapy, past-president of the Italian Federation of the Associations
of Psychotherapy (FIAP), past-president and first Honorary Member of
the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT), past- and Honorary
President of the Italian Association of Gestalt Psychotherapy (SIPG).
Since 1985, she has edited the Italian journal Quaderni di Gestalt and
has served on the board of several other international journals. She
has written many articles and chapters published in various languages,
has edited five volumes and written two books, the last being The
now-for-next in Psychotherapy. Gestalt Therapy Recounted in Post-Modern
Society published in English, Italian, Spanish and Russian.
She has fostered the dialogue between Gestalt therapy and the most
important contemporary psychotherapists and researchers, such as Daniel
Stern, Vittorio Gallese, Elisabeth Fivaz-Depeursinge, Donna Orange,
Umberto Galimberti, and others.
Money can't buy me love: the meaning of money in therapy
A workshop for practicing and trainee therapists and counsellors, in
Edinburgh, Scotland.
The theme of money and the exchange of money is always present and
alive in therapy – in the life story of the client and, more
particularly, in the relationship between client and therapist. It
arises at the very beginning of the work, in the negotiation of a
working contract and the agreement of fees – even if the client isn't
paying. And it will remain alive throughout the course of the therapy,
whether or not it is made explicit.
By definition, money is a symbol, always representing something more
than what it is. Both client and therapist will bring to their working
relationship their own beliefs, attitudes and meanings concerning money.
In this workshop we will explore your relationship to the subject of
money, and look at some of the related challenges that arise in your
work.
Date: Friday and Saturday, 21-22 June 2013
Times: 10.00-5.30pm on both days
Trainers: Karen Rookwood and Colin White
Venue: Five Coates Consulting Rooms, Edinburgh, Scotland
Cost: £225

Presenter: Stella Resnick, PhD
Dates: Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29, 2013
10am-6pm each day
Location: Beverly Hills, CA
12 CE credits
Intimate love relationships are fundamental to human well-being.
Attributes that enhance intimacy—understanding, affection, playfulness,
and sexual pleasure—are associated with increases in oxytocin,
dopamine, and other hormones that reduce stress and promote health and
resilience.
This workshop reviews relevant research in positive psychology and the
science of flourishing that is useful for helping clients build skills
that nurture loving feelings and sexual pleasure. It offers a
therapeutic model for working with individuals and couples on
relationship and sexual issues that blends cognitive and embodied
Gestalt methodology.
The focus of this didactic and experiential training is on both
personal growth and professional development. The experiential part of
the workshop includes present-centered body-based Gestalt processing,
breath and body attunement, and visceral and sensory perception
exercises that inspire insight, reduce stress, and enhance ability to
enjoy feelings of love and sexual pleasure.
As a participant you will learn evidence-based methods that can be
integrated into your practice as well as enjoy a rich experience of
personal learning.

INTERNATIONAL OSD PROGRAM XI begins September 22-28, 2013. The
International OSD Program offers professionals effective alternatives
for influencing the systems in which they work. This intensive,
international-based training draws heavily from the Gestalt Center for
Organization & Systems Development Program, which was the first to
apply Gestalt principles to the field of organizational consulting.
Faculty include representatives from four continents, and the 305
graduates of the program to-date are living and working across the
globe. The program consists of five week-long sessions over the span of
16 months, with each session held in a different country. Applications
are being accepted now. Go to http://www.gestaltosd.org
to register or
for more information.
OSD PROGRAM (STANDARD FORMAT) begins October 23-28, 2013 in Seattle,
WA. The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland's Organization and Systems
Development Training Program was the first training program in the
world to integrate Gestalt theory, systems theory, and organization
development theories into a coherent curriculum in the field of
organizational change consulting. Our perspective provides individuals
with the theory, concepts, methodology, skills, and techniques for
effectively intervening at the individual, two-person, group, and
organizational and larger levels of systems. It offers a unique Gestalt
OSD framework for designing interventions, managing change, and
developing professionals in the systems within which we live and work.
Current training programs conducted by the Center reflect an over
30-year evolution of concept application, teaching strategies, hands-on
skill enhancement, and opportunities for both personal and professional
growth. Our aspiration is that through increased awareness, knowledge,
and skill, individuals can walk into a room containing any number of
people anywhere in the world and make a difference with their presence.
