IGP Network
In Nov. 2017 the network has been founded as an official network in the Danish Psychological Association.
The IGP centre
Aarhus Gestalt Institute/ Center for Integrative Gestalt Practice is the only Danish gestalt training institute which is accredited by the Danish Psychological Association to give credit to psychologist's psychotherapeutic specialization.
IGP uses 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 therapy.
IGP practice
IGP can be used in therapy, coaching, leader development, pedagogical and organizational work.
IGP has been developed i cooperation between Jan Tønnesvang, James Hammink and Mikael Sonne.
