Abstract

This simple peace of work intends to perform an initial journey regarding the possibility of connection between RPG (Role Playing Game) and Gestalt-Therapy. Several sources point already to a friendship with RPG, in the discussion of Psychology and psychotherapy. However, those sources were adapted only to inspire an attempt to create a real encounter between RPG and the epistemology, included the phenomenological aspects, of Gestalt-Therapy. Kurt Lewin, Fritz Perls, Hefferline and Paul Goodman were great resources in this trail of thinking and sensing. The Sociology of Knowledge was also taken in account by the lecture of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, who were read as an instrumental theoretical basis for the linkage of the essential concept of many realities and the possibility of a Ludical Trance, as much as the existential permeability and the definition of two Vital Spaces, regarding the Theory of Field, Kurt Lewin’s methodology of comprehension of the psychological one’ state, those visions were object of an emulsion process to search and create real theoretical possibilities for the compatibility and, more, the good gathering of those concepts to a practical potentiality for the use of RPG in Gestalt-Therapy presence and approach.
