Abstract

SANTO, Adriana Amaral do Espírito. In search of a good way of applying sport psychology: contributions of gestalt-therapy. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.1, pp. 45-54. ISSN 1809-6867.

This article aims to present the sports psychology from an approach that is still rarely used in this field, although it has been part of psychology for several decades: the gestalt therapy. Therefore, it presents initially, in general words, what is the psychology practice in sports and, from this point, it takes into consideration this work through the gestalt-therapy theory. Its focus consists of two crucial moments of intervention: diagnosis and intervention itself. The outline of the article is based on the individual sport high-performance, as the sports psychology is extremely wide and it would be impossible to cover all the possible interventions in a single article.

Keywords : Sport psychology; Gestalt therapy; Psychological intervention.
