Membership Categories

Membership in the NYIGT is open to anyone with an interest in Gestalt therapy. As a member of the NYIGT you will have a front row seat on the evolution of Gestalt therapy.

As an Associate or Student/Trainee Member you will be notified about all events and presentations in advance, be invited to join our online Google group and are welcome to join any committees that interest you. Our Google group online discussions allow our members to connect with each other and discuss Gestalt therapy related topics, post news of other events that might interest members and participate in ground-breaking, cutting-edge discussions about the theory and practice of Gestalt therapy.

Fellows: A fellow is a distinguished member who, by being senior, skilled, published, and demonstrably expert, is a repository of the institute's traditions, history, and values. A fellow is an exemplar within our community: a person who has been actively involved in pursuing our values as a teaching/learning community with an inclusive process of fluid hierarchies of knowledge, experience, and innovation; a person who has passed-on his or her expertise in Gestalt therapy to others. The word "hierarchy" is to be understood as a notion reflecting the developing culture and norms of the group.

Dues for a fellow member are $150 per year.

Full Members: Open to all persons grounded in Gestalt Therapy Theory and who have demonstrated their facility in the application of that theory through their participation in our teaching/learning community. Those interested in becoming full members present themselves as candidates at least 6 months prior to our June busines meeting. The decision making is through consensus. This process is described in the by-laws of the institute.

Dues for a full member are $150 per year.

Associate Members: Open to all persons interested in Gestalt Therapy Theory. Includes well-established Gestalt Therapists, non-Gestalt Therapists, students and persons in related fields. Open to all

Dues for an associate member are $85 per year.
