Gestalt
Gestalt is an approach that emphasizes that humans perceive phenomena as wholes, not merely the sum of separate parts.
Definicja
Gestalt psychology arose as a reaction to breaking down experience into isolated elements. Its central intuition is that perception organizes stimuli into meaningful arrangements, patterns and figures. In development work, gestalt thinking helps to ask not only "what is an element", but also "what arrangement the elements create together".

Praktyka i życie
For a problem, list the elements and then draw them as a system of dependencies. Ask what changes when you look at the big picture.
Częste błędne rozumienie
It is a mistake to use the word Gestalt as a blanket label for anything "holistic". This is a specific psychological tradition, particularly important in the study of perception.
