But as acclaimed cultural psychologist and Columbia professor Michael Morris argues, our tribal instincts are humanity's secret weapon.

A morte em si já constitui um grande tabu no mundo ocidental. O mesmo se pode dizer do luto, sobretudo quando ele não é visto como tal – são as chamadas perdas simbólicas e/ou ambíguas. Partindo dessa realidade, Gabriela Casellato reúne aqui textos fundamentais para compreender o assunto. Dividida em quatro partes – "Os lutos do ser", "Os lutos do estar", "Os lutos do cuidar" e "Engajamento social: do silêncio à ação" –, a obra conta ainda com um posfácio sobre a pandemia de Covid‑19, que varreu o mundo e continua assolando o Brasil.

Este primeiro volume da Coleção Gestalt‑terapia: fundamentos e práticas apresenta as bases epistemológicas e as influências filosóficas que norteiam a abordagem e compõem os alicerces sobre os quais ela se desenvolveu.

Assim, este livro tem o objetivo de oferecer à comunidade gestáltica (estudantes de psicologia, especializandos, profissionais de Gestalt) informações claras e organizadas para o aprofundamento e a ampliação do saber gestáltico, utilizando uma linguagem simples e acessível.

Atualmente, os verbos mais associados à ansiedade são "controlar" e "lutar". E são muitos os exercícios, as dicas e as técnicas para isso. Porém, embora seja útil e importante, o controle não é o principal meio para lidar com a ansiedade: o que ela nos pede é diálogo. Assim, devemos compreendê-la como uma das mais importantes defesas de que dispomos para lidar com o mundo. Porém, se a ansiedade não é acolhida e olhada com aceitação, pode se transformar de saudável em patológica. O desconforto que ela provoca nos chama ao cuidado.
