Thinking about the question of gestalt-therapist formation in the current context

Abstract

Teaching, like every form of expression in the world, constitutes a political act insofar as it directly interferes with life and relationships between people. Affirming this perspective we consider our place in the Academy the political marking of a necessary and indispensable space for the possibility of a change of worldview. From the identification of a phenomenon identified as "contemporary death: loss of affection", I problematize our place in this type of institution, grounding our practice in a project that implies partnerships that include and value the importance of affections in relationships in a space of coexistence, production and reflection of this state of art as a politics of hope. Keywords: teaching; gestalt-therapy; loss of affection.
