Peter Philippson – new workshop at the Lodz Gestalt School: Shame and guilt in the Gestalt approach
Excellent news for all those eager to sign up for the workshop on aggression, but still want to experience in person how Peter Philippson works! Given the huge interest in the workshop with Peter, we are launching the registration for the next one, as we have no more places for the previous one! We were taken by surprise, but we are prepared! 
Peter Philippson’s new gestalt workshop on shame and guilt:
Many articles on shame focus on the actions of people who shame others. But what is the meaning of shame and guilt for the person who feels it? What is the difference between shame and guilt? What is the relationship to aggression? During the workshop we will look at these issues through theory presentation, discussion, demonstration and group process.
