Report: Gestalt Research Conference “Building the Evidence Base for Gestalt Therapy” (Birmingham 5-7 September 2025)

EAGT, UKAGP, IAAGT and GANZ are the associations who have collaborated for the Conference. 103 participants in person, 25 online, from 25 different countries all over the world.

The main speakers were Biljana Van Rijn, Felicitas Rost and Ladislav Timulak. The conversation across modality have been rich, both sharing and receiving feedback.

There were more than fifty workshop, presentations and community activities. Four of our current collaborative research projects were presented.

We were able to present large studies born in the Gestalt Community: “Single-Case time series study (SCTS) using Germany, Austria and China as examples” (Otto Glanzer) “Evaluating Core Competencies in Gestalt Therapy” (Michele Settanni), “An International Research on Outcome and therapeutic alliance and process of change in Gestalt therapy” (Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb), “International Gestalt Practitioner Case Study Project” (Christine Stevens).

The videos will be uploaded, in the Research Database (www.gestaltresearch.org).
