Gestalt Psychology


The school emphasizes that the human and functional forms are organized. That is, man grasps the outside world in an organized pattern. This has no special effect on individual senses. The word Gestaltz comes from the German language. It means "whole".


One of the most popular aspects of this school is the rule that "the whole is different from the sum of its parts", and its policies reflect human. Germany is the homeland of this group of teachers which, as is customary is against structuralism. But this had a profound effect on American psychology. Psychologists sucha as Maz Wythemer, Kurt Kofka and Wolfgang Kohler are pioneers of this school.
