with Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb, Stefania Benini, Dan Bloom,Billy Desmond, Lynne Jacobs

4 online seminars, video recordings available, for a total of 16 hours
You can watch them when you want using an e-learning platform

These series of seminars explore clinical examples of how to work with a phenomenological and aesthetic glance, in a field perspective.

Each seminar offers a Gestalt-centered perspective on clinical cases – a situational window, which includes the therapist and avails itself of tools configured to modify the entire experiential field. 

The series is inspired by the recent book “Psychopathology of the Situation in Gestalt Therapy: A Field-oriented Approach” (Routledge) edited by Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb and Pietro A. Cavaleri, and it is addressed to clinicians who are interested in exploring new perspectives on clinical sufferings and having some supervision.

Theoretical presentations, supervision or personal work, and clinical explorations in small groups with participants from all over the world make this experience both professionally highly qualified, exciting and deep from a human point of view.

Each seminar include a main three hour teaching part, conducted by Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb, and a one hour dialogue with guest trainers.
