Abstract

MOREIRA, Virginia. Are Gestalt-therapy and Person Centered Approach therapy phenomenological approaches?. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.1, pp.3-12. ISSN 1809-6867.

The matter of whether the Gestalt-Therapy and Person Centered Approach are phenomenological approaches is controversial in the contemporary scenario of humanistic psychology in Brazil. In 1991, Luis Claudio Figueiredo published a book about the main stream psychological thoughts, in which both approaches are considered not phenomenological. This article intends to make a contribution to this discussion by establishing a dialog between the Person Centered Approach and Gestalt- Therapy with the psychological main streams as conceived by the author.

Keywords : Phenomenology; Person centered approach; Gestalt-therapy.
