MAIA, João Vitor Moreira; FREIRE, José Célio  and  OLIVEIRA, Mariana Alves de. "Traversing meanings" about the learning process in gestalt therapy. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.2, pp. 179-187. ISSN 1809-6867.

Starting from an exploratory study, we are questioning How the process of learning facilitation in Gestalt therapy works in the academic environment? It was necessary to understand how Gestalt Therapy views the process of learning facilitation in its theoretical references. Accordingly, we focus our readings in the Gestaltpedagogy studies, and on the training of psychotherapists in the Gestalt approach. We expanded our references from the ideas of Martin Buber on Education and Dialogical Philosophy as well, thus establishing a dialogue with Emmanuel Levinas's Otherness Philosophy, specifically regarding the concept of Teaching. Assuming that such theoretical references guide our teaching practice, we intend to illustrate our understanding and experience on the subject using the versions of meanings performed by a student who participated in the Training Course in the Gestalt Approach, offered to Psychology Course graduating students at the Federal University Federal of Ceará. We propose a teaching practice that enables affectation, the experiences of references` abandonment, the security of the known. We are proposing a knowledge from this affectation caused by exposure to the otherness of the teacher, of the books and the experiences from the concrete experience in the classroom.

Keywords : Learning process; Gestalt Therapy; Dialogicality; Otherness; Versions of meanings.
