On Thursday, March 16, 2017, in the "IANOS" Culture Chaine in Athens, a lecture was held by Mr. Giorgos Diplas * on "The Role of Art in the Therapeutic Process".

Mr. Diplas began his lecture with the question: "Is Psychotherapy Science or Art?" ...For the Gestalt Therapeutic approach the answer is "Both".

He then, analyzed how they interact, who is the autonomous role of each and what is the result of the relationship between them. He also explained how this relationship can be a means of development outside of the therapeutic context, in everyday life of all.

The audience showed great interest in this particular subject, and in the end asked the lecturer many interesting questions that gave rise to even more stimulating thoughts.
