Private and group movement therapy began in 1978, and private psychotherapy followed within two years. Mr. Wiener was certified as a psychoanalyst in 1991.
Wiener directed and choreographed more than thirty productions, including the world premiers of Martin Buber’s, “Elijah,” and I. B. Singer’s, “Gimpel the Fool.” He also acted with the Yiddish Folksbiene Theatre in 1963 and ‘64 and was a featured actor in a film by Bruce Davidson Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Nightmare and Mrs. Pupko’s Beard (1973). He danced and choreographed for many years (1956-66) and was featured in a New York Times magazine article by Anatole Broyard, “It’s Your Move.” (December 17, 1978). Wiener conducted workshops for Columbia University, Syracuse University, the Toledo Museum of Art, psychoanalytic institutes, the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, and conference presentations for the American Dance Therapy Association, Humanistic Psychology, the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis, the Institute for Expressive Analysis, and the International Forum for Psychoanalytic Education.
He continues to teach small adult-movement classes, and he maintains a private psychoanalytic and psychotherapy practice in NYC. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, Arlette Thebault Wiener, and their cat, Lili.view less
