About The Living Center:
The Living Center
was founded in 1979 by Gerald Schoenewolf.
It started out as a loose cooperative of therapists who were
interested in creating a special therapy program for people in the arts.
Since that time the Center has expanded to deal with people from all walks of
life who want to enhance their creativity and actualize themselves personally
and professionally. Basically it is a cooperative of psychotherapists and psychoanalysts
located at 207 East 15th Street
in New York City. Permanent staff
members are Gerald Schoenewolf, Ph.D., Mary E. Remito, MSW., and Paco Mitchell, Jungian Therapist.
The Living Center
utilizes an eclectic approach to psychotherapy, combining techniques from
psychoanalysis, gestalt therapy, behavioral therapy, bioenergetics, and
meditation. Patients are seen in individual and group sessions as well as in
all-day marathon sessions. Therapy is designed to help people work through
blocks that impede their emotional growth and prevent them from being all
that they can be.
Since this website was begun in 2002, The Living Center
has expanded to include various psychology tests (see TESTS), a section of psychotherapy poems (see POEMS), another section containing psychotherapy articles (see ARTICLES, and still another that contains a listing of psychotherapy movies (see FILMS). .
