Physical Contact and Gestalt Therapy

• Massaging of the buttocks is gestalt therapy? by T. Dunn, 3/2/97
  
  

In my almost thirty year involvement with Gestalt therapy, I have never seen a Gestalt therapist make any physical contact beyond a handshake or hug with a client.

There is nothing in Gestalt therapy literature that even remotely suggests that physical contact is an element of Gestalt therapy.
