What © Asociación Española de Terapia Gestalt, 2022. does

The Asociación Española de Terapia Gestalt (AETG) is a member-owned, nonprofit professional association (asociación profesional sin ánimo de lucro) founded in 1983 and headquartered at C/ Ave María 11-Bajo Izqda., Madrid, Spain. It serves as the national professional body for Gestalt psychotherapy practitioners in Spain and is the Spanish member of the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT). The association operates with a small core staff of 7 employees and is governed by a Junta Directiva. Its purpose is to represent, certify, and develop the Gestalt therapy community in Spain across professionals, students, and accredited training schools.

AETG's core offerings include the annual national conference (Jornadas Anuales, currently in its 38th edition), the annual peer-reviewed journal "Arte y Gestalt" (47th edition), an online library of theses, books, articles and newsletters, directories of accredited training schools and member therapists, workshops and continuing education with international experts, and commissions including a Research Commission. Recent product launches include the Observatorio Gestalt communication platform (2025) and the II Course on Research Methodology applied to Psychotherapy (2026). The underlying technology stack is minimal and commodity-based: a Drupal-website (aetg.es), Google Analytics, Zoom for online meetings, Google Forms for registration, and standard social media channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube). There is no proprietary technology or AI/ML component.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription membership fees, transactional workshop/training fees (€150 for AETG members, €250 for non-members), and publication/journal sales. Distribution is direct-to-practitioner via the Madrid office and digital channels, supplemented by partnerships with educational institutions (UNIR) and book retailers (Librería de Gestalt, Librería Mayo de Psicología) that provide member discounts. The association has no external funding, no parent company, and no M&A history; it is supported entirely by member-generated revenue and institutional collaborations.

Broad incumbents

• International Association for Applied Psychology (IAAP): International federation of national psychology and applied psychology associations. Comparable to AETG in organizing international scientific collaboration and conferences in psychotherapy-related disciplines.
• UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP): UK umbrella organization for psychotherapists and psychotherapy training institutions. Comparable to AETG in operating a member-register, training accreditation, and ethical standards function, though across multiple modalities rather than Gestalt alone.
• American Psychological Association (APA): The largest professional psychology organization in the US. Operates a similar professional association model with member benefits, journals, conferences, and accreditation functions — though at vastly larger scale and across all psychology rather than a single therapeutic modality.
• British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP): Large UK-based professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. Operates a similar member-driven, event-and-publication-supported revenue model and is comparable to AETG in offering professional accreditation and continuing education.
• FEAP - Federación Española de Asociaciones de Psicoterapeutas: The Spanish federation of psychotherapy associations, of which AETG is part of the broader psychotherapy ecosystem. FEAP spans multiple modalities (Gestalt, CBT, psychoanalytic, systemic), making it a broader incumbent that overlaps with AETG's practitioner membership.

Direct peers

• Society for Gestalt Therapy and Gestalt Therapy Training (UK): UK-based professional body for Gestalt therapists, offering training accreditation and a member directory. Closely comparable to AETG in mission and member-driven operating model, though serving the British Gestalt community.
• European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT): The European umbrella organization for Gestalt therapy associations. AETG is the Spanish member of EAGT, and both bodies organize conferences, accredit training, and publish research on Gestalt psychotherapy across Europe.
• Associazione Italiana Gestalt Analitica (AIGA): Italy's national Gestalt therapy association, operating a similar member-based professional body model focused on Gestalt training accreditation, conferences, and publications within a single European country.
