ABSTRACT
Although a gestalt is a representation of a single unit of experience, I do not want to give the impression that gestalt theory suggests that we live our lives moving staccato fashion from one unit of experience to another. Gestalts are intricately woven in and out of each other. For example, as I am typing this an itch on my nose stands out and I move to satisfy that need by scratching my nose before reaching for my coffee to satisfy a need for a comforting warm drink (and caffeine). As I drink my coffee I project into the future thinking about what will follow this section of the book, before returning to the sense of my fingers to the keyboard. You will notice from this account that each gestalt is journeyed through in the present either through enactment or
upon which the individual stands will all shape the way the individual forms and moves from one gestalt to another.
