title: Individual and family growth: a Gestalt approach.
abstract: Gestalt therapy is described as a comprehensive framework of theory and techniques for experiential family threapy. Like other experientially oriented therapies, it is systems-oriented, immediate-experience-oriented, and affect-oriented. Unlike others, this method regards the client system's emergent processes as the central focus, and it emphasizes that growth occurs as the family and its members are helped to greater self-awareness and responsibility for their own functioning.
