CARVALHO, Lílian Cherulli de  e  COSTA, Ileno Izídio da. Gestalt clinic and the psychotic adjustments. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.1, pp.12-18. ISSN 1809-6867.

This paper explores the Gestalt therapy meanings to psychopathological phenomena, especially those known as “psychotic”. It shows the emphasis given by Perls, Goodman and Hefferline - first Gestalt authors - to the peculiar manner of existence produced by the subjects, which are the adjustment and the ongoing process of maintaining self-regulation, the neurotic and psychotic adjustments, and the characterization of the psychotic one according to the epistemological foundations of Gestalt-therapy. Finally, this work discusses the concept of serious psychic suffering, as an opportunity to understand and to keep the phenomenon and the subjective condition intrinsic to it.

Palavras-chave : Gestalt-therapy; Psychopathology; Psychotic adjustment; Serious psychic suffering.
