Gestalt-Therapy main methodological proposal was built from a perspective that focuses human experience in the world. In this article we seek to amplify the meaning of working with experience - many times reduced to use an experiment as a technique. We discuss gestalt therapy phenomenological roots and make a dialogue with Merleau-Ponty, conceiving psychotherapy as a presence field. Human existence flows in organism-environment field and experience is considered a structure configured from this relational situation in the world. Starting from situation´s id, psychotherapy intends to amplify client´s experience here and now, in the therapeutic encounter to signify his creative and spontaneous action. Contact process results in a dive in the ambiguous world of experience-with-other, and this is an opportunity to make a creation exercise which is involved with human aggression capacity that allows him to transform and institute culture. We consider gestalt-therapy experiment-action a mean to unfold spontaneous and creative action, producing meanings and transgressing culture.
