Gestalt therapy

Explanation:

Gestalt therapy is considered one of the humanistics theories in psychology. This therapy focuses on the present moment  (the Now) and tries to make clients fully aware of what they are doing and how they are reacting to different things going on in their lives.

This therapy puts a lot of emphasis in the environment and how the client makes contact with it.

It also puts attention in the holistic, this mean, it looks at the client as a complex system that includes thoughts, feelings, body sensations, etc.

Other important concept is the figure-formation. This refers to what is in front of the mind of the person. There are always stuff lingering in the back of the mind but something can make them become "figure", this means, come to the attention of the client (In a very basic example, if the people is hungry, then this need and food would become figure).

This theory also focuses on the contact, to make contact with what is going in the client's body, mind and surroundings is one of the goals of therapy.

Relating this past concept to the figure-formation, the theory also states that there are feelings unexpressed that lingers in the back of the mind and they don't allow the person to make fully contact, the therapy tries to bring these unexpressed feelings to fully experience them, make them figure and therefore, express them and this will help the client in making more effective, real contact with himself/herself and other people.

Thus, the question is talking about Gestalt theory.
