GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY
The Theory
Gestalt psychology is based on the
observation that we often experience
things that are not a part of our simple
sensations.
The effect is called the phi
phenomenon, and it is actually the
basic principle of motion pictures!
If we see what is not there, what is it
that we are seeing? You could call it an illusion, but its not an hallucination.
Wetheimer explained that
You are seeing an effect of the
whole event,
-
Not only do we have the ability to do
so, we have a strong tendency to do
so.

Biological Field Theory
-
No organism can be reduced to
separate components but can only be
understood in its organized, interactive, interconnected, and interdependent totality.
Every field, be it experiential, social,
cultural,
No organism is powered only from
within or impacted only from outside,
but co-created.
