Gestalt-Therapy and Systemic Therapy: the body in psychotherapy

This work demonstrates the contribution of the body approach in the Gestalt-Therapy to the Systemic Familiar Therapy. The method used was a tape recorded in a body workshop structured according to the both approaches. The workshop gave the opportunity to each member a more integrated form of constructing their own identity. The intercrossing of both approaches brought to the persons, better awareness of who and how they are in the "world", helping them in the process of assumption of the story they tell. The experience shows to the therapists, the possibilities that the bodywork gives to a comprehensive method of constructed reality.
