NYIGT Welcome  
   

We are the original Gestalt therapy institute, established by Fritz and Laura Perls in 1952.  As we were then, so are we now a membership organization which is a teaching/learning community where we explore ever-evolving Gestalt therapy theory as experiencable in and expressed through practice.  Anyone with an interest in Gestalt therapy is welcome to attend our meetings and programs.

Our meetings take place on the second Wednesday of the month at 8:30 p.m. and are free and open to all.  Our membership includes people from the New York metropolitan region and from around the world.

In addition to monthly meetings, we are planning several special events this year.  We hope you will join us for any of these which draws your interest.  For more information, please contact us.

We welcome you.

Paul Goodman photo

Paul Goodman (b. 1911) was one of the founders of Gestalt therapy and, along with Fritz Perls and Ralph Hefferline, was one of the author's of its foundational text, Gestalt Therapy, Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality.
   Paul was an orignial member of the NYIGT and remained active until his death in 1972. We are proud to continue to stress the important contributions to Gestalt therapy made by this social critic, philosopher, psychotherapist, writer, poet, playright, teacher, —and friend.
   In coming months, this section will feature current members of our teaching/learning community.
