Der Band „Spektrum Migration“ ist das Ergebnis der gleichnamigen interdisziplinären Tagung, die im November 2012 im Rahmen der 8. Tübinger kulturwissenschaftlichen Gespräche durchgeführt wurde. In ihrem Mittelpunkt stand das Interesse, gemeinsam über (kulturwissenschaftliche) Konzeptionsmöglichkeiten von und Herangehensweisen an Migration anhand von laufenden Forschungsprojekten zu diskutieren. Dem Titel entsprechend entwerfen die zwölf im Band versammelten Beiträge aus der Empirischen Kulturwissenschaft und benachbarten Disziplinen ein vielschichtiges Panorama der Migration. In diesen verknüpfen die Autor/innen Migration unter anderem mit den Bereichen Arbeit, Familie, Erinnerung sowie Identität und veranschaulichen zusammengenommen die Vielfalt an Migrationen.
Seit dem Aufbrechen der Lebenssphären "Arbeit" und "Freizeit" mit der Industriellen Revolution sind arbeitszeitpolitische Auseinandersetzungen Begleiterscheinungen von gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen. Michael Jürgen Schatzl beschäftigt sich in dieser Arbeit mit der österreichischen Arbeitszeitpolitik von 1945 bis 2009. Er unterteilt diesen Zeitraum anhand unterschiedlicher Charakteristika sowie Interessen- und Motivlagen, trotz wiederkehrender Argumentationsmuster, in vier Perioden.
This book tells the story of the community at the New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy (NYIGT) as it evolved in connection with the highly regarded theory it produced, examining some important turning points for the institute spanning the period from the early 1970s until 2020 and describing the more large-scale changes the community underwent. Through chronologically ordered chapters, the history of the NYIGT is written in a documentary-style narrative complete with the voices of contemporary witnesses embedded into the storyline. The book explores the aggressiveness during community meetings that the institute was once known for, how the LGBTQIA community shaped the institute from the beginning, what changed when the institute began to be run democratically, its feminist revolution, as well as recent developments and the institute’s current group processes. This historically rich work is essential reading for Gestalt therapists, other professionals interested in Gestalt approaches, and readers interested in the history of Gestalt therapy.
Dieses wissenschaftliche Lesebuch begibt sich auf die Spuren transnationaler Lebenswelten. Auf originelle Weise verknüpfen die Autorinnen klassische und literarische wissenschaftliche Darstellungsweisen: Am Beispiel von Migrantinnen und Migranten in Deutschland, deren Lebensverhältnisse durch knappe finanzielle Ressourcen gekennzeichnet sind, betrachtet der Band unterschiedliche Facetten ihres Alltags sowie Herausforderungen und Praktiken, die nationalstaatliche Grenzen überspannen. Die spannend und informativ aufbereiteten Themen bewegen sich im Schnittfeld von (Sozial-)Pädagogik, Soziologie, Kulturanthropologie, Ethnologie und Psychologie.
In Gestalt therapy, sociological, political, and economic research is often neglected or ignored. Drawing on analyses about current societal conditions, this book considers that there is no such thing as a ‘postmodern’ therapy and offers a new approach to Gestalt therapy. Gestalt therapy is still currently based on the Cartesian worldview, even if relational approaches are in search for an ‘in-between’. The author’s approach of Gestalt therapy is based on an idea by the founders: “Contact is the first reality” – so the field coemerges and coexists with individuals’ perceptions providing specific conditions, demands, limitations and opportunities. An individual’s field is ...
This book is intended for psychotherapists working with depressed clients. In particular, it focuses on how working with depressed clients affects the therapists themselves, and elaborates on how therapists can care for themselves in such demanding work to prevent burnout, or process it meaningfully as part of their professional development. Based on the results of the author’s own long-term experience, qualitative research and theoretical concepts describing psychopathology from the humanistic-existential perspective of Gestalt therapy, this book describes a paradoxical way of working in which therapists transform their own experience in the presence of a depressed client. Using the examp...
This collection explores the impacts and new ways of treatment of difficult clinical situations, in the uncertainty of a world in crisis, through a phenomenological and aesthetic field-oriented lens. Each author offers a Gestalt-centered perspective on clinical issues – a situational window, which includes the therapist and avails itself of tools configured to modify the entire experiential field. Through clinical case studies and theoretical reflections, the book examines the experience of children, difficult childhood situations (such as separations, abuse, neurodevelopmental disorders, adolescent social closure), the experience of dependency, couples and family therapy, the condition of...
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 (GT), 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 bonding 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 book will prove essential reading not only for practitioners working in India, but also for anyone with an interest in how GT can be applied in group settings in different cultural contexts.
