What role does commitment play in terms of the gestalt therapist and the process of dialogue?

What will be an ideal response?


In terms of the gestalt therapist’s being dedicated to the process of dialogue, it signals that the therapist understands the dynamics of dialogue and that he or she obligates himself or herself to standing in when the client may not be ready. It points to not giving up when the process seems to lag, confuse, challenge, or disappoint, and it means abiding with the client, remaining in the circle of contact. It informs the whole course of therapy for however long that might last.
