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.

President, NYIGT

the author's of its foundational text, Gestalt Therapy,
Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality.

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,
