This is a bit of a stereotype about Gestalt based on how it was practised when it was first conceived in the 60s. Modern Gestalt is deeply relational and, in my experience, is about paying attention to Gestalt concepts (achieving wholeness; understanding figures/foreground; raising awareness; the between; etc). Of course, challenges are made by the therapist but possibly no more than other modalities.
