ABSTRACT:
Gestalt psychology does provide some potentially fruitful insights into psychopathology. In the concept of isomorphism, Gestalt theory acknowledges the interrelation between brain functioning and behavior, and specifies the interrelation of both psychogenic and somatogenic sources of psychopathology. Further, Gestalt theory emphasizes the perspective, that for healthy functioning, an individual must find a meaningful place, role and function in society and, that the lack of meaningful functioning as a "social part" is a source of pathology. In discussing the differences to Perls’s Gestalt therapy and reviewing psychoanalytic concepts, this article focuses on the important role the Gestalt Theory takes in understanding problems of psychopathology.
