is a whole experience that can span varying periods of time depending on the need being addressed. When a need is met the gestalt is completed. The individual is free to move on to addressing new needs as a space is created for these to surface.

A gestalt represents a whole experience that can span varying periods of time depending upon the need that is being addressed. A need to satisfy hunger may be met over a few minutes, or in the case of a gourmet meal may be lingered over, whereas a need to satisfy a 'hunger' for a fulfilling career may span many years. We human beings are inherently relational, it follows that these whole experiences are always formed in relationship with our environment. There is always, 'an interdependency of the organism and its environment' (Perls, 1947: 34). The diner and the meal inter-relate and one changes the other. When a need is met the gestalt is completed and the individual is free to move on to addressing new needs as space is created for these to surface. (DAVE MANN 100 POINTS)

Pain is meant to wake us up. . . Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. (Fritz Perls)
