of Sophocles’ text first of all speak. In Gestalt Therapy, Oedipus becomes metaphor of a desire to relationships, of a tension to the ‘triangle’, far earlier than mere recognition of a tragic, unsolvable polarisation. From a gestaltic viewpoint, it is in the first place the strength coming from feeling involved together, as parents, in an affective adventure full of passion, where the body of both allows in reciprocal contact the birth and growth of the body of the other, which is touched and loved to the fullest. For Oedipus is symbol and hope for all this, besides being contribution offered for the discussion. Because Oedipus still has to be told and narrated, but you may have to take care (again) of Oedipus.
