When war starts, people say, “It’s too stupid, it can’t last long.”But while war may be “too stupid,” that doesn’t stop it from lasting.Stupidity knows how to get its way – we just don’t notice it, too busy with ourselves.Albert Camus, “The Plague”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

“War is such an unjust and evil thing that those who fight try to silence the voice of conscience within themselves.“<\/strong>L. Tolstoy, Diary of<\/strong> a<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

“Madness is an absolute rupture with the work of art;it forms the constitutive moment of annihilation which in time dissolves the truth of the work.It delineates the outer edge, the line of decay, the contour at nothingness.“<\/strong>Michel Foucault, The History of Madness in the Classical Age<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

“To begin to love someone is not an easy thing.It takes energy, generosity, and blindness.There is even a moment at the very beginning when you have to jump over the abyss:if you begin to reflect, you won’t do it.“<\/strong>Jean-Paul Sartre, “Nausea<\/em><\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

“Love consists in the following: two solitudes meet, protect and welcome each other.“<\/strong>Rainer Maria Rilke<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Human existence unfolds on the frontier. War destroys the boundary between truth and self-justification. Madness is the place where order collapses and another truth is revealed, freed from the dictates of reason. Love is a leap across the abyss in which we risk ourselves to meet the other. <\/p>\n\n

Gestalt Dialogues #4<\/strong> invites Gestalt practitioners (both new and experienced) to explore the professional transformations to which we are all inevitably subjected. Gestalt Dialogues<\/strong> is an educational, interdisciplinary, international project aimed at creating a space for reflection and assimilation of current experience and the development of therapeutic identity.<\/p>\n\n

To this end, we are continuing the Therapeutic Stories format. In this format, experienced colleagues will share with us their stories about how clients influence therapists, how professional transformations take place, how to prevent burnout and professional deformation. <\/p>\n\n
