Obsessive Compulsive Experiences: a phenomenological-Gestalt exploration - Gianni Francesetti


  • CDR 1 Beera Meiselsa Kraków, Województwo małopolskie, 31-058 Poland (map)

Gianni Francesetti, who no longer travels abroad for workshops, has agreed to accept once again an invitation to a workshop in Krakow: Obsessive Compulsive Experiences: a phenomenological-Gestalt exploration designed for psychotherapists/counsellors and psychotherapy students from the second year of the 4-years training.

“Suspended from shaky scaffolding,

we secure ourselves with our

fixations”

In this workshop we will explore the obsessive compulsive experiences. We will discuss nosography,  phenomenology, how this experience emerges and its structural features, the way it is a creative adjustment in difficult situations, the clinical forms it can produce and their relationships with the contemporary social themes. It is a very interesting human experience, very common in the actual clinical work, especially in young people, and expression of deep existential themes. The core of the experience, the way it responds to unbearable feelings, it will guide us in the landscapes of fear and terror. From this explorations both personal awareness and clinical competences can be supported in a creative way. The workshop will offer experiential moments of supervision and personal work, and theoretical discussions, in the light of field theory and of phenomenological Gestalt psychopathology.
