• Gestalt Therapy and Mental Health Care: Part 2. by Brian O'Neill, 11/5/96
  
  

Thank you for sharing your work ideas and models, and references. They seem so intresting and an effective contrbution. I think that we're a bit naive if we think that we can approach the persons in the condition of thee so called "mental disorders" just in the frame of Gestaltherapy. Gestaltherapy is of course, very important and aplicable. But we need to go also, I think, to the sociological, antropological and even philosophical frames, to understand all the constitution process and persons conditions and relate with them. Ephasizing, of course, in practice, the sovereignity of the interpersonal and interhuman relationship. Mainly to perfeccionate our models and scape of the given and so often so destructive institutional conditions of the relatioship which are often part of the problem and not of the solutions. I think we can't forget the work of some existential psyciatrists like Laing, David Cooper, Franco Basaglia in this field as intresting sources. I'm "listening" to your words on the issue. Sincerely, Afonso.
