Experiment : lead the client by following him half a step behind
Original language description
This article presents an experiment both as a specific kind of intervention and as an integral part of the Gestalt therapist’s work. Experiment is described as an adventurous common journey for both the client and the therapist, starting in the here-and-now situation, continuing through a creative indifference and aiming towards an unplanned discovery. The text presents and attempt to introduce the conditions necessary on the therapist’s side for an effective use of an experiment. Specifically, the text will offer inspiration on how to set a therapist’s mind-body to an „experimental mode“ before actually offering an experiment to the client. Different ways of grounding in the here-and-now, active suggesting, openness to discoveries, courage for creativity, and strategic leadership will be introduced. The use of an experiment will also be described from the perspective of field theory. The transformation from anxiety to excitement, essential for an experiment, is then seen as happening first in the therapist’s mind-body-set thus enabling a necessary support for welcoming an experiment offered by the situation.
