Weekend Training Program

Relational Gestalt Therapy - integration of theory & practice

Each year, the program offers six weekend intensives of experimental and didactic training, Beginning and advanced groups are available. Trainees are assigned to training groups with people of varying backgrounds and experience, with each group limited in size to approximately twelve participants. Lecture, discussion and actual “hands-on” clinical practice with live supervision are included in each weekend to help integrate theory with practice. This is a multiyear program, but trainees enroll for one year at a time. Those who continue through to the advanced level may be eligible for the certification process as a gestalt therapist.

Program Highlights

Learn the theory of relational gestalt therapy which is taught systematically and interwoven into the experiential part of the program.

  • Observe demonstration by faculty
  • Function as a therapist under direct supervision of faculty in a supportive and accepting milieu
  • Integrate practice and theoretical principles
  • Learn and work with your "growing edge"
  • Develop your own style of therapy

Our purpose is to support trainees to develop skills and competence in gestalt therapy theory and practice. We strive to integrate relational gestalt therapy principles with the unique personal style of each participant and facilitate the building of a supportive learning community. We also strongly recommend that our trainees enter their own gestalt therapy. A list of qualified gestalt therapists practicing in your area is available upon request.
