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. Actually Greenson was the first to discover Marilyn Monroe's body after her suicide. ` Greenson was well know 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 Meade. He graduated from Colombia 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.
