Detailed explanation-1: -“Gestalt” is German for “unified whole”. The first Gestalt Principles were devised in the 1920s by German psychologists Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka and Wolfgang Kohler-who aimed to understand how humans typically gain meaningful perceptions from the chaotic stimuli around them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The word Gestalt is used in modern German to mean the way a thing has been “placed, ” or “put together.” There is no exact equivalent in English. “Form” and “shape” are the usual translations; in psychology the word is often interpreted as “pattern” or “configuration.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Origin and history. Max Wertheimer (1880–1943), Kurt Koffka (1886–1941), and Wolfgang Köhler (1887-1967) founded Gestalt psychology in the early 20th century.
Detailed explanation-4: -Borrowed from German Gestalt (“shape, figure, form”). The German term can also apply to a geometric or graphical shape, unlike its usage in English.
Detailed explanation-5: -Integration is defined as the process whereby an. individual re-owns a previously alienated part of the self. Because of the visibility of this process in Gestalt therapy, this orientation was selected for observation.
