Gestaltism

The Geltastism or Gestalt ("form" on German) psychology is a relatively new psychological school (S.XX) that claims that the brain processes "the whole" before "the parts" (holistic), suggesting the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Gestalt psychologists tries to understand how we can acquire and maintain stable precepts in this world. This way for understanding how our perception work is ruled by some principles, like the Principle of Totality and the Principle of psycho-physical isomorphism, which I'm not sure to understand really well...

I'll have to search more information of it, but I don't see the connection between perception and phobics, for example, if there's any. This kind of stuff is kinda complicated, but maybe is difficult due to the language or because I'm sleepy. Whatever, it seems interesting to learn about it, but that's only my subjective view... But every time I search for new information about psychological school, I realize that there are a lot of things in our daily routine that are product of psychological discovering  even though it's already obvious that we're surrounded by a large amount of things that we invented or produced thanks to investigation.
