Human Nurture Ep 4 - PACT in Theory - Robert W. Resnick Interview

In this 4th episode of the Human Nurture Podcast - Season 1 - PACT in Theory, we take a look into the core element of Gestalt Therapy. In the intro interview, Stan explains Gestalt's influence on PACT as, "the importance of discovery," "being in the present moment," and "staying within the intersubjective field." Our guest, Robert W. Resnick, PhD has a great to deal to say about the techniques and methodology of, "finding the freshest fish." Robert practiced with Fritz Perls (the founder of Gestalt Therapy) and was selected by Perlz to introduce Gestalt Therapy to Europe. For the past 40 years, Robert and his wife Rita Resnick, PhD., have been splitting their time between private practice and teaching in Santa Monica and leading Gestalt Therapy trainings in Europe. Robert does a wonderful job of explaining the theory behind Gestalt and provides practical insight into how to encourage and support a dialogue of discovery with our couples. Or as Robert puts it, "We are not trying to change to people, we are trying to support them in using who they are at the moment."
