When there is a lack of a caring, supportive other to help nurture and process the pain, the wounds of this initial trauma and the various ways of managing the aftermath can become fixed and directly impact relationships, self-perception, coping skills, self-esteem, etc. (Kepner, 2013; Maté, 2010; Taylor, 2014; Van der Kolk, 2015). Unfortunately, a common and initially effective way of managing the impact of trauma and adjusting to the world is through addictive behaviours (Brownell, 2012; Clemmens & Matzko, 2004; Maté, 2010; Matzko, 1997; Pintus, 2017). Such behaviours provide temporary relief and anaesthetise emotional and relational pain. The goal of addiction is to push us away from experiencing unpleasantness, and it briefly allows problems, challenges and discomfort to melt away. Initially, this can be a functional, creative adjustment that helps the individual survive and find a place to belong. Painful experiences can heal through a nurturing, empathetic relationship. However, without a caring other, trauma and addiction become linked and intertwined.

For many of us, exploring our relationship to gender is arduous, messy, non-linear, personal work with no shortcuts. It can’t be made into generalised statements that would spare the person enquiring from doing the work of their own understanding. I believe some of the curiosity regarding gender is missing in our Gestalt-therapy community and we risk oversimplifying and polarising a complex phenomenon. As a Gestalt therapist who happens to be trans, my invitation is to move away from problematizing gender as if it only belonged to the trans community and begin to engage with it as something that concerns us all. Though gender is more figural for some clients than others, it is ever-present in our fields. Because it is always present, it is either organising our perceptions from the shadows, or being consciously held, named and worked with to deepen contact. I will start by describing current field conditions as I perceive them. I will share my own path to my current identity to illustrate how gender can be entangled in our hardships and growth. Using my personal narrative, I will outline implications for Gestalt therapy theory – exploring biopsychosocial and intersectional lenses to gender, differentiating self from gender identity, touching on gendered introjects and gender synthesis, and linking ontological insecurity with certain identities. Lastly, I point to more pragmatic implications for clinical practice, to support other Gestalt therapists as they will inevitably encounter clients for whom gender is figural.

The main attention is paid to analysing the experience of using fairy-tale therapy (a method of artistic creation) within the framework of the work of this group. The authors highlight a number of resource possibilities of fairy-tale therapy as a tool of the Gestalt approach in group work: gaining a sense of greater control over the situation through the creation of a narrative; achieving greater integrity through awareness and integration of one's own projections; restoring the temporal continuity of the psychological field through the creation of a story containing a beginning, middle and end; improving the psycho-emotional state through the expression of feelings, etc. Keywords Gestalt approach, psychological support group, crisis intervention, war, fairy-tale therapy. \"","PeriodicalId":103162,"journal":{"name":"British Gestalt Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139298340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In clinical work it is important, at times essential, to consider more than two generations in order to give meaning to what is happening to us and to our clients as well as to support the therapeutic process. We know that what happened to previous generations is transmitted to subsequent ones, but we need a better understanding of how transgenerational legacies are passed on and how they emerge in therapeutic processes. Building on a phenomenological and Gestalt perspective, and so on a conception of the self as an emergent process and on field theory, in this paper the author proposes the concept of atmosphere as a useful element of support for clinicians in being aware of, and working with, a transgenerational perspective. Atmospheres can be considered media of transgenerational transmission. In therapy, they can be useful for relating what is happening in the here and now with the history of previous generations, and thus supporting the therapist in being aware of therapeutic processes, intentionalities and transformations.

The method engages the practitioner as researcherautoethnographer who enters a field, which is their client’s therapy process. The aim is to derive insights and deepen the understanding of process, theory and diagnostics from psychotherapy sessions in practice. The therapist creates a reflexive account of their experiences, recording this in their session notes, which are also the field notes and the data. As an autoethnographer, the therapist begins therefrom a process of creative writing. The writing process is reflexive, and aesthetic. Integral to the research method, the act of writing forms a hermeneutic circle where new insights of the phenomenon of therapy happen for the researcher. The writing is created as an art form, usually a story or poetry. The result of this method is a written, evocative, aesthetic representation of the therapy process, based on the phenomenological experience of the practitioner. Demonstrating this method, a single case study of an online Gestalt therapy session of a male client diagnosed with depression and borderline personality disorder is featured in this article. The outcome of this form of aesthetic inquiry is the embodiment of psychotherapy theory through the aesthetic sensibility of the therapist-researcher.
