Now, as international communities face rapid social and scientific changes, the world of psychotherapy is re-discovering its core paradigms of dialogue and interconnectedness - yet using the specific theoretical language of different approaches.

In this new play of figures and grounds, traditional concerns – such as, body/mind, conscious/unconscious, rational/irrational, individual/social, theory/practice, experience/interpretation, and personal/political - are being re-examined in the light of relational perspectives and evidence based research.

Once nearly alone at its frontier of innovation, contemporary gestalt therapy finds itself in a parallel path with other psychotherapies. This journal is dedicated to exploring the development of gestalt therapy through dialogical bridges with these other psychotherapeutic approaches.

We believe that our understanding and practice of gestalt therapy will deepen through this venture in contacting.
