Exploring Masculinity, Sexuality, and Culture in Gestalt Therapy is a captivating invitation to delve into the intricate realm of social and political issues within the psychotherapeutic framework. The author embarks on a profound journey, traversing the landscapes of Poland and England, as she unravels the intricacies of masculinity, sexuality, relationality, and culture. This insightful book offers a comprehensive exploration of the collective gestalts that shape our understanding of sexual transference, same-sex attraction, the use or lack of touch, gender equality, and inter-cultural conflicts. Each chapter serves as a profound exploration of the prejudices deeply embedded within our cultures and therapeutic practices, presenting a theoretical challenge to prevailing approaches within gestalt therapy and beyond. The author passionately advocates for a more collective understanding of embodied sensations that emerge within the therapeutic context, recognizing them as collective gestalts.

Through the utilization of autoethnographic research methodology, this book unveils the intricate interplay between personal embodied experiences and the broader social, political, and material context. It serves as a vital resource for gestalt therapists, as well as readers intrigued by gestalt approaches, providing a deep understanding of the transformative power of embodiment in the therapeutic journey.
