The first domestic work on Gestalt psychotherapy

Gestalt refers to the behavioral motivation of an individual as perceived by the individual.
That is, an individual perceives and organizes his or her own organic desires and emotions into a single meaningful behavioral motivation.
Every action, big or small, such as a mother holding her child, wanting to drink a cup of coffee while listening to music, or wanting to be friendly with people, is our Gestalt.


Gestalt therapy expanded the concept of Gestalt to the realm of therapy, overcoming the dualistic worldview of traditional psychotherapy techniques by understanding the body, mind, and environment as inseparable, integrated, and organic entities.
Gestalt therapy does not aim to delve into the unconscious world of which we are unaware.
Rather, it helps us expand our vision by becoming more aware of what is close to us, and thus lead new and creative lives.
This book is a revised edition of the first domestic work on Gestalt psychotherapy, revised and supplemented after 20 years, and contains the theory and practice of Gestalt psychotherapy.
