| Malcolm has been a leading practitioner of Gestalt therapy for over 40 years. He was the first editor of the British Gestalt Journal and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. He talks here about his life and how Gestalt has influenced it over the years. 'I have sought to turn Gestalt practice into a discipline that takes me more deeply to being and living in the present, sensing my body and learning to meditatively observe my unfolding process. I am committed to bringing the therapeutic, spiritual, and political realms together - especially significant as the world undergoes either its Great Unravelling or its Great Turning, and as human beings face existential and ethical dilemmas that combine every aspect of a person's existence. It is in the spirit of crossing spiritual with political concerns, personal journeying with participating in this unprecedented time of global change, that I have increasingly focused on the Five Abilities, and finding ways to teach methods of engaging with them, strengthening and deepening them, for the benefit of all.' |
