Psychoanalysis significantly influenced twentieth-century culture, particularly in Hollywood, where the connection between filmmakers and psychiatrists flourished. In this insightful exploration, veteran reporters Stephen Farber and Marc Green examine the intricate relationships between iconic stars and their therapists. They delve into the bond between Marilyn Monroe and Dr. Ralph Greenson, who sought to integrate her into his family, and share candid insights from Martin Grotjahn, who analyzed Vivien Leigh and discussed her tumultuous marriage to Laurence Olivier, along with other celebrity patients like Warren Beatty and Danny Kaye. Dr. Judd Marmor reflects on his controversial role in studio politics while treating mogul David Begelman. The authors reveal the colorful history of May Romm, the "Queen of Couch Canyon," who leveraged her position as David O. Selznick's analyst to influence the film industry. They also recount the story of Dr. David Rubinfine, who faced exile from the psychoanalytic community after marrying his patient, Elaine May. The narrative sheds light on Woody Allen's notorious therapy habits and profiles Dr. Milton Wexler, who collaborated with patients like Jennifer Jones and Blake Edwards. Through interviews with over 159 figures from psychiatry and film, Farber and Green present a compelling, sometimes humorous, and often scandalous account of this unique intersection.
