Gestalt therapy was developed in the 1940s by psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and

psychotherapist Fritz Perls and his wife, psychologist and psychotherapist Laura Perls. Gestalt

therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on increasing a person's awareness, freedom, and

self-control. Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that people are influenced by their current

environment. Each person strives to achieve personal growth and balance. Gestalt therapy focuses

on the use of empathy and unconditional acceptance. It helps people overcome distress by learning

to trust and accept their feelings. This psychotherapy involves validating clients' experiences of

somatic symptoms, increasing div and emotional awareness and regulation, and helping clients

understand how their symptoms are rooted in their attitudes and cognitive models. The

combination of Gestalt psychotherapy and clinical therapy increases the effectiveness of patients

in their recovery. Because through this understanding, both the biological and psychological

disruptions caused by the disease are treated at the same time. This, in turn, can be eliminated by

managing organic self-healing along with the treatment of biological symptoms through

medication. Gestalt therapy is one of the important areas of psychology that focuses on the current

experience of a person. It includes methods that help to open personal consciousness and emotions.

Today, the demand for psychological health is increasing worldwide, and this, in turn, requires a

new look at therapeutic approaches. Gestalt therapy, with its individual approach and concept of

grace, is being reevaluated in a new way in modern society. Gestalt therapy is one of the areas that

helps to understand the person in accordance with his feelings and experiences and allows him to

understand them more deeply. In our time, interest in personal development and self-awareness is

increasing. In modern psychotherapy methods, elements of Gestalt therapy are being combined

with many approaches. This integration allows for more effective problem-solving in different

regions. As a result of the increased stress levels associated with the pandemic and modern

lifestyle, Gestalt therapy is being shown as an effective tool for reducing stress and ensuring mental

stability. The psychological needs and problems of the younger generation are changing.

Gestalt therapy can respond appropriately to the emotional and social issues of this

generation. Attention to mental health is increasing in Uzbekistan. As a result, psychotherapy

methods, including Gestalt therapy, are being used more widely. Ensuring mental health is an

important factor for the overall health of the population. Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that

people are influenced by their current environment. Everyone strives for personal growth and

balance. Gestalt therapy focuses on the use of empathy and unconditional acceptance. It helps

people to overcome distress by learning to trust and accept their feelings. Materials and methods

of investigation: The word "Gestalt" is a German term that does not have a direct English

translation. It usually means "whole" or "form". It is the idea that each person is seen as a unique

combination of mind, emotions, div, and spirit with a unique experience and reality. In practice,

psychologists apply this concept by helping people focus on what is happening in their lives in the

present moment, rather than on their past experiences. Gestalt therapy focuses on the here and

now. Through Gestalt therapy, people can develop new perspectives and make positive changes

in their lives. They can do this because Gestalt therapy helps to develop self-awareness and a clear

understanding of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. What conditions can be treated with Gestalt

therapy? Since its introduction, Gestalt therapy has become a proven and effective therapeutic

approach to addressing and treating a variety of mental health conditions. Some of these conditions

include:

•Behavioral health issues. Gestalt therapy can help people with behavioral issues such as

bipolar disorder. It is also an effective therapeutic method for treating substance abuse, compulsive

gambling, and PTSD. People struggling with these conditions can develop a new perspective on

life through Gestalt therapy and see positive changes in their lifestyle.

•Depression. Because Gestalt therapy focuses on self-awareness, it can help people with

depression become aware of potential stressful situations that can trigger depression.

•Relationship difficulties. Gestalt therapy can help couples recognize underlying

destructive behaviors that may be negatively impacting their relationship. This can help them make

positive changes in their relationships and personal lifestyles.

Self-esteem issues. Gestalt therapy helps people with low self-esteem identify and

overcome the underlying factors that contribute to their low self-esteem.

Gestalt therapy techniques: Different Gestalt therapy techniques involve a series of

experiences and exercises. Therapy can be done individually or in a group setting. The exercises

and experiments help people increase their awareness and understanding of the here and now.

Different Gestalt therapy techniques work differently for different people because each

person's past experiences are unique. Examples of different Gestalt therapy techniques include:

•Paradoxical change. Paradoxical change theory focuses on the need for self-acceptance. It

helps people develop a sense of self-awareness. When a person is in harmony with who they are

as a person, it helps them live in the present moment. This leads to more positive emotions and

mood. helps them live. This leads to more positive emotions and mood.

•“Here” and “now”. This technique allows people to evaluate their past experiences and

how they affect their current thoughts and behaviors. By becoming aware of the internal factors

that affect their current lives, people can learn to let go of the past. This helps them focus on the

here and now. The goal of this technique is to help them live for the present and make positive

changes in the future.

•Empty Chair Technique. This technique helps people open up to talking to an empty chair.

The goal of this technique is to imagine yourself opening up to a specific person you need

to talk to. If you open up as if the person is sitting there listening, the therapeutic experience will

set the stage for healing.

•Exaggeration technique. This technique works by making the person aware of underlying

issues that may be related to their current problem. The therapist may ask you to exaggerate a

certain behavior or emotion. This can help identify and address the root of the problem.

Conclusion

Gestalt therapy is a comprehensive therapeutic method that provides long-term benefits to

the mind, emotions, div, and spirit of a person. General advantages of Gestalt therapy include,

but are not limited to: The only limitation of Gestalt therapy is that it may not help with the

psychological effects of hereditary behavior. It also does not help with psychological factors that

are not influenced by the person's mind.

However, it is an effective therapeutic treatment option for several addiction problems and

mental health conditions. In conclusion, it can be said that, according to modern views, a large

number of somatic and mental disorders of diseases are caused by a combination of biological and

psychological factors and therefore require combined biological and psychological therapy. What

is relevant to the psychological characteristics of patients and the appropriate approaches to

therapy are analyzed and methods are devised.

A systematic study of the results of therapy and their relationship not only to the methods

used, but also to the personal and clinical characteristics of patients allows the development of

specific guidelines for a particular type of treatment.
