The unsaturated gestalt Relationship with the insight in Educational Counselors

Abstract

Abstract: The function of this research is to explore the variables of unsatisfied gestalt and insight and the relationship between these two variables among educational counselors. Unsatisfied gestalt and insight are among the psychological variables that are proposed in Perls’ theory. Unsatisfied gestalts are unsatisfied needs and unexpressed feelings. As for insight, it is the return of the individual to construct his experiences so that they have a new meaning other than the previous meaning. Perls believes that our behavior as individuals is the product of an organized awareness in the individual’s mind with a set of laws, such as the law of classification, correspondence, similarity, convergence, grouping, integration, and filling incompleteness or closure. Failure to satisfy the gestalts and gain insight into them makes them exert pressure on the individual, causing him stress and anxiety. When unsatisfied gestalts are satisfied and insight is gained, they turn into awareness, a ground, and a background that can be called upon. The results show the emergence of the variable of unsatisfied gestalts and insight among the sample of counselors, and the existence of a correlational relationship between them. The research concludes with a conclusion and a set of suggestions and recommendations.
