“…Another way of viewing this is that there is no contact without communication, and this causes a feeling of isolation for the individual (Perls, 1969). Support and contact with our environment constitute an important resource for the individual (Wheeler & Axelsson, 2015). The world is now moving as fast as wireless connections and mobile phones can carry us.…”

“…In Gestalt therapy, the concept of contact is considered as a tool that enables the individual to relate to the world, and the person makes sense of the world through the knowledge and experiences gained through contact (Polster & Polster, 1974). According to the Gestalt theory, part of life is to have contact with the environment; contact is necessary to grow and change (Wheeler & Axelsson, 2015). Contact, which forms the basis of Gestalt therapy, is the experience of meeting with others.…”

The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between internet addiction, relationship satisfaction, and Gestalt contact styles among university students. A sample from a university in Turkey was recruited, which included 373 university students (271 females, 72.7%), aged 15-55. We administered and assessed the Gestalt Contact Disturbances Scale, Young’s Internet Addiction Test, and the Relationship Assessment Scale. The relations were explored using Pearson’s correlation and path analysis. Results indicated that contact, dependent contact, final contact, and full contact has significantly effect relationship satisfaction. Also, contact, full contact, relationship satisfaction has significantly effect internet addiction. Dependent contact and final contact has no significant effect on internet addiction. The results provided a perspective on expanding the literature of Gestalt therapy and internet addiction. We have provided some suggestions for Gestalt therapists and counselors.

“…The first and early period of practising is characterised by becoming aware of one's own sufferings and opening up for various healing and integrating processes. Here, practitioners deal with the awareness of a discrepancy between their actual feeling stance and the desired one (Allgood & Kvalsund, 2003;Kvalsund, 2003;Perls, Hefferline & Goodman, 1992;Rogers, 1951Rogers, , 1961Wheeler & Axelsson, 2015). One is awakened to one's own wounds, depressions, traumas as well as other disorders, and becomes aware of how to overcome them.…”

This study investigated the experience of mindfulness practice with a group of students who had participated in a one-year college program that included mindfulness-based training. The specific question was: How does learning about mindfulness through training and practising various mindful activities in an educational program influence and transform participants' lives? A two-factor solution was chosen with one factor expressing a new found and deeply-felt generous acceptance, being in touch with and at one with oneself, with others and with nature. The other factor reflected the experience of being in an on-going learning process with a yet to be realized hope of gradual and explicit integration of the whole self-inrelation with others. Discussion of the two factors focuses on the different stages of the developmental processes that the participants associated with each factor seem to be in, with Factor 1 exemplifying a mature phase of mindfulness and awareness and Factor 2 revealing itself to be in an earlier less comfortable phase. In both cases, the attitude towards and experience of mindfulness is positively oriented in terms of life changes.

“…Many of the arguments of the Gestalt psychologists would play important roles in intellectual developments in psychology, philosophy and research methods across many disciplines, including Ethnomethodology (EM), as discussed recently by Clemens Eisenmann & Mike Lynch [2021] and outlined some time ago by Doug Maynard [1996], and ecological psychology, enactivism and e-cognition, [see, e.g., Kiverstein, van Dijk, & Rietveld 2019], whether directly or via Gurwitsch and Merleau-Ponty. Moreover, Gestalt psychology inspired a method of Psychotherapy: Gestalt Therapy [Wheeler & Axelsson 2015]; serves as a key to the development of qualitative research methods in psychology and beyond; and has influenced approaches to philosophy and philosophical analysis, exercising influence on phenomenology, in the work of Gurwitsch [2010b] and Merleau-Ponty [2012], and on Wittgenstein's later philosophy [1983]. While the main figures of the Gestalt movement did not quite achieve long-term discipline-transcending status, in the manner, perhaps, of some of those who inherited and implemented their ideas, their ideas have had significant impact.…”

L'ethnométhodologie (EM) de Garfinkel implique essentiellement une respécification praxéologique, ou interactionnelle, des phénomènes de la Gestalt. Au début de l'EM, cela se fait en développant une catégorie de Gestalten praxéologiques, où les faits sociaux (ou les unités sociales) sont respécifiés comme des phénomènes de Gestalt, dont les membres sont les constituants et dont l'unité sociale est un tout ou une Gestalt. Le tout en question est de son côté produit praxéologiquement par le travail méthodique de ses membres. Dans des travaux ultérieurs, Garfinkel préconisera la reconfiguration praxéologique des phénomènes perceptifs traditionnels de la Gestalt, notamment de la musique. En développant l'EM par la reconfiguration praxéologique du gestaltisme, Garfinkel a puisé dans la phénoménologie constitutive d'Aron Gurwitsch, notamment là où ce dernier a tenté une fusion entre la psychologie de la Gestalt et la phénoménologie. Ainsi inspirée par Gurwitsch, tout en étant également nourrie par les travaux de Schütz, et, plus tard, de Merleau-Ponty, l'EM est souvent présentée soit comme largement endettée à l'égard de la phénoménologie, soit comme une façon distincte de pratiquer cette dernière : que l'on pourrait appeler une phénoménologie praxéologique, peut-être. Par ailleurs, des parallèles entre les travaux ultérieurs de Ludwig Wittgenstein et l'EM ont été établis depuis la publication des Recherches en ethnométhodologie de Garfinkel en 1967. On a souvent insisté alors sur l'analyse des règles et du respect des règles, ainsi que sur des positions similaires face à la notion de signification dans l'EM et dans les travaux du second Wittgenstein. Toutefois,
