This paper researches on the possible reasons which made the Gestalt-therapy show a fragile approach image, with no theoretical basis, and therefore easier to be dealt with since it wouldn`t demand a deep knowledge from the professional Gestalt-therapist. The author, here defining herself as heiress to this approach, rescues the Gestalt-therapy`s origin and concepts pointing out to the importance of its founders, Fritz and Laura Perls. She considers their beliefs, myths and personal values as well as their direct or indirect influence on the Gestalt-therapy`s destiny. This study, wich focus on the Gestalt-therapy very beginning, aims to clearly understand the social-cultural aspect and its demands, with the purpose of analysing the Gestalt-therapy and its concepts in a much broader context that makes it meaningful. This research is made up of interviews with three current Brazilian Gestalt-therapists, who are also considered heirs, hence this autor`s brothers. The main goal for interviewing those therapists was not only to analyse their individual comprehension about Gestalt-therapy itself as theory but also to have their own opinion about the possible causes for today`s superficial approach of this therapy. This study highlits that a Gestalt-therapist needs theoretical and practical pillars that reveal and consider not only the influence undertaken by such a light Gestalt-therapy approach but also that clarifies the concepts which this therapy makes use of. It is still paramount that one distinguishes between what Gestalt-therapy actually is from something that merely makes up its father`s (Fritz Perls) way of being.
