Explanation
Answer: A - According to Gestalt therapists, people experience psychological difficulties because they have become cut off from important parts of themselves. Gestalt is defined as a structured entity that is more than the sum of its parts. The purpose of Gestalt therapy is to help people acknowledge important parts of themselves they have “cut off” such as emotions, bodies, or contact with others. Successful therapy creates awareness in the neglected and disowned parts and restores a sense of wholeness.
