Abstract.
In this study, we have provided information about Gestalt therapy and its basic
principles and causes. Based on this information, instructions are given on how to prevent the
causes of mental illness in a person, improve the mental state of the person and help them. Gestalt
therapy is a type of psychotherapy that aims to increase a person's awareness, freedom and self-
control. It is a form of therapy that focuses on the present, not on 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 people to
develop self-awareness and a clear understanding of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Gestalt
therapy helps people pay attention to the present. This allows people to identify what immediate
thoughts, feelings or behaviors may be causing them distress.

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.
