Master in Gestalt Child Psychotherapy

The Gestalt approach to Child Psychotherapy is based on a human relationship of respect and closeness with the child, promoting the development of their potential. For this, and unlike traditional models of child psychotherapy, we believe that the integration of parents in the process is essential, it is not family therapy because the emphasis is still on the child. The Child Relational Psychotherapy model considers that the child, the parents, the environment form a whole, therefore the symptom is conceived as part of this totality and thus a large part of the child's conflicts are the result of unresolved family conflicts that also slow down the advancement of therapy. The infantile relational therapist promotes the development of new skills in parents and children that favor a good relationship.
