Abstract

As gestalt therapy does not provide (describe) a series of set goals for the therapeutic application in everyday pediatricians work, with this manuscript idea is to provide therapists support to stay in the created field therapistpatients, strengthen patient’s awareness and promote unique way for every single patient for establishing personal balance (psycho, spiritual and body). The methods of gestalt implementation in psychotherapeutic work might (roughly) be divided into four main stages, according to the patient's phase of the disease. We, also, should not forget that in pediatricians practice we have two types of persons to support, kids and their parents, different by many questions.

The most important fact is that gestalt therapy has a holistic approach to the person (patient/client). This is one of the most important reasons (besides work in "here and now") that this direction of psychotherapy is used in everyday physician practice to support different medical treatments [1]. This opinion shows how gestalt therapy can be used in work with children that blocked emotions and interrupted contact on several levels, children from a family with extremely complex problems and relationships, children with psychosomatic symptoms and disorders, but also shows how gestalt therapy can be used as preventive measures and support in everyday pediatrician's practice.

The aim might be defined by exactly those two facts:

  • Gestalt psychotherapy should be used as a measure of support in regular medical procedures and treatment.
  • Gestalt psychotherapy should be used as a measure of prevention in every pediatrician's practice.

Gestalt therapy significantly supports regular medical procedures and should be practiced in all stages of the disease and implemented in regular medical activities with the indicated patients at certain stages of the disease, either individually or in a group.
