Adolescence, Gestalt therapy and art-based therapies

By Geneviève Bartoli

Drawing on Gestalt therapy and art therapy, this book offers an original exploration of psychotherapeutic approaches with wayward adolescents who certainly do not ask for psychotherapy So how can we foster the therapeutic encounter and alliance to spark the individual's capacity to open up to the world and to otherness? This is where the author draws on the potential offered by mediators, artistic mediators and even socio-professional integration schemes. Following a presentation of the specific voluntary organisation that supports these adolescents, the author describes, step by step, clinical sessions centred on the support provided to a young girl and a young man, utilising transference, counter-transference and artistic language. She then explores the process of identification in relation to therapeutic mediation, which fosters the 'Self' in action and enables the transformation of representations of the self and the world.
