Gestalt therapy theory should be equally applicable to the child's world as it is to explaining reality in adults and its psychotherapeutic application. Therefore, concepts such as field theory, contacting, creative adjustment, improvised co-creation, suffering in the "between", contact-boundary, styles of contacting, the "polyphonic development of the domains" (Spagnuolo Lobb, 2013) or capacities of self and contact patterns (Vázquez Bandín, 2014c), etc., should be framed and explained based on our theory, which is in turn, based on field theory. Another aspect that we should not overlook is the application of Gestalt anthropology and a theory of the development that is genuinely Gestalt, the background to our thinking and way of working with all ages. It would therefore seem to make sense to set out from a brief explanation of childhood and adolescence, framing it in a Gestalt therapy theory of the field in order to talk later about the functions of the elements of that field, its distortions and its application in the clinical field.
