Fritz Perls - What is Gestalt (1970)


"We have become phobic towards pain and suffering"

"Anything that is not fun or pleasant is to be avoided"

(Except me who runs to what everyone runs from!)

Always been a Gestaltist but never looked into its origins until I stumbled open this video about half an hour ago 🧐
It appears after the first watch that I've done the practical of what he talks of here and come to a similar conclusion, that of,
"Most people are a liability to everyone they meet"

This was in the year I was born, so nothing has changed in living memory, and a lot longer than that in my area!!

 Everyday scenarios you'll need to deal with, fully investigate  and solve in order to create a Utopic Society Imagine the scene, you are in the largest and grandest hotel within 25 miles and in pops out of the rain two teenagers that look like drowned rats. The 18-year-old male heads straight to the toilets whilst the 15-year-old girl goes through her almost daily routine over the past two and a half years of asking reception if she can use their phone to contact her mum for a lift home.  Everyone carries on as normal except for the person who knows he's going to be called by reception to deal with these two within the next 20 minutes, just like he has been on more than a handful of times over the past couple of years.  The male is told to use the men's toilet and not the disabled, whilst the girl is approached at reception and asked;  "Are you getting a room today? because if not you're barred for having sex in the toilets".  Obviously all hell broke loos...
