Seventh Edition
The program is accredited by the EAGT, and accomplishes its requirements and training standards (download the EAGT Certificate of the Istituto di Gestalt HCC Italy).
In Gestalt therapy supervision is a fundamental process, a learning environment and a necessary support for clinical practice.
This process is a means to better understand clinical cases, to reflect on the therapeutic situation and relationship, to orient oneself in the therapeutic process. In addiction, it increases awareness about the fields created by therapist and client and by supervisor and supervisee, and provides support from belonging to the professional community in order to be able to offer the best possible practice for clients.
This training program provides a theoretical and experiential education which aims to develop the skills of a Gestalt supervisor.
Each seminar develops a theoretical framework and a method to supervise psychotherapists from Gestalt therapy perspective. It will also provide hypervisions (supervision of supervision).
The Gestalt group setting of this training will allow all participants to contribute their creativity and expertise, supporting critical reflection at both a theoretical and practical level.
The support and presence of colleagues from many parts of the world and the beauty of Italy will provide the best environment to nourish one’s own skill as a Gestalt supervisor.
