"Die insgesamt 25 Essays sind prägnant und konzis geschrieben, schöpfen aus einem offenbar sehr großen empirischen Reichtum und lehren einen produktiven Umgang mit der psychoanalytischen Methode, so daß man das Buch durchaus ein ›Standardwerk der Psychoanalyse‹ nennen darf..." Zeitschrift für Tiefenpsychologie, Gruppendynamik, Gruppentherapie

 

Dr. Ralph Greenson (born Romeo Samuel Greenschpoon, September 20, 1911 - November 24, 1979) was a prominent American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. While working with Mrs Eunice Murray, Greenson is famous for being Marilyn Monroe's psychiatrist and the basis for Leo Rosten's 1963 novel, Captain Newman, M.D. The book was later made into a movie starring Gregory Peck as Greenson's character.

 

Greenson was well known for his early work on returning WWII soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress. He also had other famous clients such as, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, and Vivien Leigh. Greenson and his wife Hildi Greenson, were the darlings of the Southern California psychoanalytic community, intellectuals and with certain notables in the Entertainment industry. The were good friends with Anna Freud, Fawn Brodie and Margaret Mead.

 

He graduated from Columbia University in New York. In a time when Jews were not readily accepted into American medical schools, he studied medicine in Switzerland and completed his own analysis by Wilhelm Stekel, a student of Sigmund Freud and again by Otto Fenichel in Los Angeles.

 

He published psychoanalytic material often dealing with analyzability, beginning of analysis, interpretations, dreams, working through, acting out, countertransference, and termination. Greenson was named a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and served on the Board on Professional Standards and the Committee on Institutes in The American. He published fifty-three papers in psychoanalytic journals. "The Technique and Practice of Psychoanalysis," published in 1967, has become the standard by which all other books on psychoanalytic technique will be measured.
