Gerald Schneider Obituary
After completing his residency in pediatrics from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Schneider served in the United States Air Force from 1962 through 1964, at which point he and his wife Judith moved back to New York and he completed a psychiatry residency at the Albert Einstein Montefiore Medical Center.
After moving to Dallas, Dr. Schneider started a private practice in psychiatry and served as a longtime faculty member at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School where he helped train generations of physicians.
Dr. Schneider was active at the Greenhill School where he served on the Board of Trustees for many years, as well as Temple Emanu-El, his synagogue home. Dr. Schneider is survived by his wife of 59 years, Judith, his four children Susan Bates (Evan), David Schneider, Todd Schneider (Devin Dixon), Peter Schneider (Julie) and his eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
His life was a blessing to many and he will be missed. A memorial service will be held at Temple Emanu-El, 8500 Hillcrest Rd., Dallas, TX 75225 at 11:00 A.M. on Thursday November 15, 2018. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Early Childhood Fund of Temple Emanu-El.

To Dr. Schneider´s Family!
It´s taken seven years to find out that Dr. Schneider has passed, and now 60 years ago, when I became a client of his at the age of 18, while he was a practicing Psychiatrist at Montefiore Einstein
Hospital in the Bronx, NY.
As a person dedicated to finding inner peace, self-acceptance and a happy life through insightful psychoanalytic based therapy over many years - Dr. Schneider absolutely was first to help me find a successful pathway that saved my life by going down a correct fork in the road!
Thank you, Dr. Schneider for being the first positive male authority figure for me who was honest, loving and empathic: willing to intervene beyond traditional norms, very much like the psychotherapist portrayed in the film, Ordinary People!

I love you, Dr. Schneider. You were more than my doctor, you were my friend and I will miss you so badly. I can never thank you enough, not only for your care of my soul, but also for the tremendous support you showed to me during a very difficult time in my life. Shalom, good doctor and loyal friend.
