The European Higher Education Area emphasizes acquisition of skills in the teaching-learning process. This involves the renovation of traditional teaching methods towards other more creative aspects of learning that emphasize the "know-how" and take into consideration the individual's emotional and psychological dimensions. The aim of this paper is to show how Gestalt psychotherapy techniques based on life experiences, allow acquisition of know-how in key tasks for social intervention professionals, through an in-class experience with social work students. We show how learning these techniques from experiential practice favours the formation of future professionals and their personal and emotional potentials and capabilities.

Palabras clave : education; social work; Gestalt psychology; group dynamics; listening; capacities.
