The Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy, (AAGT), is a dynamic, inclusive, energetic non-profit organization committed to the
advancement of
theory, philosophy, practice and research in Gestalt Therapy and its various applications. This Includes but is not limited to personal growth, mental health, education, organization and systems development, political and social development and change, and the fine and performing arts. AAGT has a wide international member base including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, teachers, academics, writers, artists, performers, organizational consultants and political and social analysts and activists and students.
We are an experiment; an ongoing organic process of gestalt formation. We provide the ground for the enrichment, articulation and support of the constantly emerging figure that is Gestalt Therapy. We are not
part of any other organization. We welcome members of all races, religions, ages, sexual preferences, and differing abilities/disabilities. We attempt to operate on as much of a consensus model as our far flung membership and meeting structure allow.
AAGT holds international
conferences which provide opportunities for us to associate, develop community, enjoy one another's company and energy, and share our work-in-progress, research, theoretical knowledge, strategies and values through peer reviewed presentations, plenary sessions, socializing opportunities, experimental workshop formats and community meetings. These conferences have consistently received very high of participant satisfaction ratings.
We hold annual community meetings, usually during conferences, where the direction and course of action of the organization is discussed and planned by the membership.
