Index
This fascinating book examines the place and practice of Relational Gestalt Therapy (RGT) within an Indian cultural context, and how it can be applied in a group setting.
The book begins by introducing the foundational concepts of Gestalt Therapy, namely Phenomenology, Field theory and Dialogic Existentialism. Through stories and vignettes, it then invites the reader to enter the circle of the group, a profound way of learning akin to the old Indian folk tradition of village communities sharing stories and bond as a social group. Drawing from these narratives, the book not only elaborates on the theoretical concepts of GT, but also offers culturally sensitive guidance for Indian practitioners wishing to conduct group therapy.
Written by a practitioner with over 20 years experience, this will prove essential reading not only for practitioners working in India, but also anyone with an interest in how Gestalt Therapy can be applied in group settings in different cultural contexts
