Gestalt

Explanation:

Gestalt theory is of the opinion that the whole of anything is greater than the part. They firmly believe that every unit must be seen as part of the whole when taking them into consideration. Just like the structuralist they also believe every unit of a whole is as important as the other unit of the whole, so they thoroughly analyze every unit as though it was a whole.
