-a basic concept in Gestalt. The therapy takes place at the contact
boundary between the client and his/her environment (in particular, the
therapist); the place where interruptions to contact and to the normal cycle of needs
satisfaction (or resistances) are found. The skin is an
example and above all a metaphor for the contact boundary: it separates me and
connects me at the same time.*
