    I think that if we trust just in Gestaltherapy theory, speciffically, we're lost. Fortunately what we call Gestatherapy is much more than we have as consensual Gestaltherapy Theory. We have the deep root in a phenomenological epistemology and world vision -- not always integrated and confused sometimes with hard empiricist perspectives. This root is independet o Gestaltherapy theory, and we, as a comunity, might learn more about it. We are also building this root. We have the deep root in a life philosophy that understand life in its phenomenal sources and spontaneity as affirmative and benign, inocent, and we assume, I think, values and an ethics of affirmation of this affirmation that life as so is. This also independent of Gestaltherapy Theory. And we share the deep trust in an dialogic actitude, that values an oppeness and affirmation of existence in its concretude, and an active intrest and openeness to de otherness of the other, human or not. This is not Gestaltherapy Theory either...
