ABSTRACT
The article presents a useful tool both in the therapeutic context and in the didactic and research context: the Gestalt Clinical Data Sheet. From a phenomenological, aesthetic, and field perspective, typical of the Gestalt model, the clinical data sheet offers guidelines that summarise the patient’s history, describe the background of the experience of suffering that is actualised in therapy and dwell on the contact figure co-created in the therapist-patient relationship. A brief introduction summarises the basic Gestalt theoretical concepts underlying the various areas considered. By way of explanation, the data sheet is illustrated through the presentation of a clinical case.
