In this study, we have provided information about Gestalt therapy and its basic principles and causes. Based on this information, instructions are given on how to prevent the causes of mental illness in a person, improve the mental state of the person and help them. Gestalt therapy is a type of psychotherapy that aims to increase a person's awareness, freedom and self-control. It is a form of therapy that focuses on the present, not on past experiences. Gestalt therapy focuses on the here and now. Through Gestalt therapy, people can develop new perspectives and make positive changes in their lives. They can do this because Gestalt therapy helps people to develop self-awareness and a clear understanding of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Gestalt therapy helps people pay attention to the present. This allows people to identify what immediate thoughts, feelings or behaviors may be causing them distress.
