    EAGT Standard for Gestalt in Organizations

Aim:

To formulate standards and assess procedures in order to come to full membership of EAGT and/or a to form a new related organization.

The standards as such should be comparable with the standards for the therapists, however are not formulated in terms of supervision, personal therapy, practice and teaching hours, but in outcome and access. Giving more freedom and responsibility to the teaching of the teaching institutions and their pupils and room for individual learning processes. There is much focus on peer evaluation.

There are at the moment some institutes who are teaching coaching and/or OD (Organization Development) work on the level of these standards.

On the meeting of the EAGT in London was agreed on:

-         that the standard concept formulated a level of training on the level of full membership;

-         that this level could be guideline for a peer evaluation;

-         that this peer evaluation could be a "Grandparenting procedure" to come to full membership.
