CAVANELLAS, Luciana Bicalho  e  BARBOSA, Ronaldo Miranda. Gestalt-Therapy in Times of Uncertainty: The Power of Not-Knowing. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.spe, pp.915-926. ISSN 1808-4281.

In times of uncertainty, we have experienced the inefficiency of the accumulation of technical-scientific knowledge in the creation of a more satisfactory and equitable world. Injustices, violence and illness have been spokespersons for the humanitarian crisis we are going through, where life has proved to be an attempt at survival for a vast majority of people, in the most different places. Faced with the hegemony of a dominant type of knowledge, which aims at predictability and control, experiences of otherness tend to be suppressed and disqualified. Gestalt-Therapy, born in an existential-phenomenological cradle, rescues us from the importance of a look that meets the other with openness and courage, welcoming diversity and valuing the strength of lived experiences. Care is revealed as a necessary attitude of restlessness and concern, favoring the ability to trust in the gratuitousness and beauty of encounters as a source of learning, experience and knowledge. Not knowing a priori turns out to be a powerful source of discovery and creation of new realities.

Palavras-chave : gestalt-therapy; knowledge; alterity; care.
