This 8-session 90-minute webinar critically examines the original theory from the perspective of the field-emergent and relational approaches.
Gestalt therapy has been continuing to grow, develop, and change as it inevitably responds to the ever-changing world since it was first presented in 1951. Nevertheless, the PHG model remains the theory of reference.
This webinar presents the PHG model’s theory of self as the core of the field-emergent self perspective of contemporary Gestalt therapy theory and practice in terms of this original model.
Since Gestalt therapy has never been blind to the suffering of the field and now, more than ever, the webinar will consider the ethical, social, and political dimensions of the field-emergent approach.
Participants can expect to learn this original theory while and at the same time challenge its orthodoxy. Through our own dialogical engagement with the original model, we see the emergence of a clinical phenomenology that is directly relevant to the crises of our contemporary world.
Application of these perspectives to our actual clinical work is an essential part of this online seminar. Members are encouraged to bring clinical examples into the discussion.
The webinar is both didactic and interactive.
Suggested readings are downloadable. Each meeting is recorded for future viewing.
The fee is $650 USD. It meets every 4 weeks,

Gestalt therapy has always been a clinical phenomenology.
This 8-session, 90-minute monthly webinar explores in depth how phenomenology is an implicit part of our contemporary practices. The more we can sharpen our understanding of phenomenology, the more we can deepen and widen our clinical work.
To fully grasp the implications of our clinical phenomenology, the webinar surveys selected major Western phenomenologists such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, and Waldenfels – and shows how they are reflected in and useful to our work as psychotherapists. They provide us a basis for the implicit relational ethics and social awareness of Gestalt therapy
The webinar consistently focuses on concrete and practical clinical work.
Suggested readings include original sources in phenomenology and in Gestalt therapy, which will be posted and downloadable.
Each meeting is recorded for future viewing by webinar members.
The fee is $650 USD. It meets once a month.

For many years, I have taught a model of gestalt therapy based upon Gestalt Therapy, by Perls Hefferline and Goodman as it is relevant to today’s practice. Building from within and beyond the original model, I’ve expanded our clinical perspective to include phenomenology, pragmatism, existentialism, hermeneutics, as well as relational psychotherapeutic approaches.This is reflected in content of this website, my writings, workshops, presentations and trainings.
The seminars and seminars I offer are on various themes related to contemporary gestalt therapy from a relational perspective.
I am eager to respond to people’s interest in particular themes. I am glad to organize study groups or seminars to address them.
