Who am I? - I was born in 1951. I have been working as a private practice psychologist and gestalt therapist in Aarhus, Denmark, since 1978. Since 1983, I have been supervisor, trainer and director of the Gestalt Training Center, DK.
The Gestalt Training Center is the only Gestalt Institute in Denmark which is accredited by the Danish Psychological Association to give credit to psychologist’s psychotherapeutic specialization.
Organizational consulting and leadership development within a gestalt framework has, for the last 25 years, been one of my main interests. A particular focus has been facilitating leader training programs regarding personal aspects of leadership.
In recent years, I have, in cooperation with my colleagues, Jan Tønnesvang and James Hammink, developed and worked with a model for Integrative Gestalt Practice. The focus is on using Gestalt as a framework for integrating findings from other schools of psychology and psychotherapy, and at the same time pursuing the underlying integrative potentials of Gestalt theory and practice. The term "Practice" refers to the practicing of Gestalt in a broader field than just therapy.
Our recent article "Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Therapy - Contrasts or Complementarities" has been published in "Psychotherapy" by The American Psychological Association, Dec. 2010.
