Acerca de esta escucha
Dr. Ralph Greenson, the star of Hollywood psychoanalysts, treated Marilyn Monroe for 15 months until her August 1962 suicide. He saw her seven days a week and brought her into his home. He never got over losing her. Written by a practicing psychoanalyst, The Misfit recounts this tragic alliance and Marilyn Monroe’s borderline personality.

Historia
Shyness is a pervasive human trait: even most extroverts know what it is like to stand tongue-tied at the fringe of an unfamiliar group or flush with embarrassment at being the unwelcome center of attention. And yet the cultural history of shyness has remained largely unwritten - until now. With incisiveness, passion, and humor, Joe Moran offers an eclectic and original exploration of what it means to be a "shrinking violet".

Historia
1963, Mexico, Maine. The Wood family is much like its close, Catholic, immigrant neighbors, all dependent on a father's wages from the Oxford Paper Company. Until the sudden death of Dad, when Mum and the four closely connected Wood girls are set adrift. Funny and to-the-bone moving, When We Were the Kennedys is the story of how this family saves itself, at first by depending on Father Bob, Mum's youngest brother, a charismatic Catholic priest who feels his new responsibilities deeply.

Though Anderson Cooper has always considered himself close to his mother, his intensely busy career as a journalist for CNN and CBS affords him little time to spend with her. After she suffers a brief but serious illness at the age of ninety-one, they resolve to change their relationship by beginning a yearlong conversation unlike any they have ever had before. The result is a correspondence of surprising honesty and depth in which they discuss their lives, the things that matter to them, and what they still want to learn about each other.

Charles Casillo studies Monroe’s life through the context of her times - in the days before feminism. Before there was adequate treatment for bipolar disorder. Starting with her abusive childhood, this biography exposes how - in spite of her fractured psyche - Marilyn managed to transform each celebrated love affair and each tragedy into another step in her journey towards immortality. Casillo fully explores the last two years of her life, including her involvement with both John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, and the mystery of her last day.

Fifty years after her death, Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe still beguiles the world, her image enthralling millions. Many books have attempted to explain her allure and tell her story, but none has succeeded as well as this work by acclaimed biographer Donald Spoto. Spoto’s exhaustive research uncovers a conspiracy of silence, allowing him to present the facts, free from often-repeated myths and speculation. Granted access to more than thirty-five thousand pages of formerly sealed files containing letters, diaries, appointment books, and other intimate papers, he also interviewed nearly two hundred people who had never before spoken on record.

In fact, her mentally ill mother was very much present in Marilyn's world and the complex family dynamic that unfolded behind the scenes is a story that has never before been told...until now.

All his life, for almost as far back as he could remember, Victor had had a phobia. In prison, inevitably, he reflected on the grotesque way it had begun, about the panics and violent anger. He asked himself, too, why the child of happily married, middle-class parents should have needed to make motiveless and unreasoning attacks on women. Holed up in that house with the girl, he had not meant to pull the trigger. It was panic.

Reseñas editoriales
While many fans know that Marilyn Monroe was troubled, this short audiobook reveals the harrowing extent of her problems, and provides a window into her relationship with the last analyst who tried to treat them. Ralph Greenson was a star psychoanalyst in midcentury Hollywood who felt that Monroe's psyche was too weak for the usual Freudian methods. Instead, he virtually adopted Monroe in an attempt to give her the stability and support she craved. While the experience might have provided Monroe some solace, it came at great personal and professional cost to Greenson. Narrator Steven Menasche's expert performance creates a sense of personal intensity around the fascinating story of the relationship between doctor and patient, which Poser says may have been the most important Monroe ever had with a man.

Historia
Through roles in cherished films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook, he became the genial face of family comedy. His childlike enthusiasm was infectious, sweeping viewers away. Allied to his lightning-quick improvisation and ability to riff lewdly off any cue thrown at him, Robin was that rare thing - a true comic genius who appealed to adults and children equally. He could also play it straight, and empathetic depth came to him naturally.

Historia
Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences at the University of Zurich. But the strict rules of proper Swiss society at the beginning of the 20th century dictated that a woman of Emma's stature - one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland - travel to Paris to "finish" her education, to prepare for marriage to a suitable man. Engaged to the son of one of her father's wealthy business colleagues, Emma's conventional and predictable life was upended when she met Carl Jung.

Historia
In The Voice Is All, Joyce Johnson - coauthor of the classic memoir Door Wide Open, about her relationship with Jack Kerouac - brilliantly peels away layers of the Kerouac legend to show how, caught between two cultures and two languages, he forged a voice to contain his dualities. Looking more deeply than previous biographers into how Kerouac's French Canadian background enriched his prose and gave him a unique outsider's vision of America, she tracks his development from boyhood through the phenomenal breakthroughs of 1951 that resulted in the composition of On the Road.

Historia
One of the main topics of cultural conversation during the last decade was the supposed "fertility crisis" and whether modern women could figure out a way to have it all - a successful, demanding career and the required 2.3 children - before their biological clocks stopped ticking. Now, however, conversation has turned to whether it's necessary to have it all (see Anne-Marie Slaughter) or, perhaps more controversial, whether children are really a requirement for a fulfilling life.

More about therapy than about Marilyn
If you are into therapy and psychoanalysis, you'll enjoy this. The Marilyn fan might be a little disappointed, tho.

Powerfull
What did you love best about The Misfit?
An exciting story about Norma Jean AKA Marilyn Monroe, and the attempts to save her short and tragic life. Poser writes a suspenseful and compelling story. A unique glimpse into the life of a Hollywood starlet, and the brief and tragic story of her rise and fall. A well written compelling story that flows very nicely. A revealing and sincere story that is very addictive.
What other book might you compare The Misfit to and why?
The Secret Life Of Marilyn Monroe
What does Steven Menasche bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Very well read. A pure pleasure to listen too.
Any additional comments?
Excellent!!!!

Not too bad!
This short biography of Marilyn Monroe was interesting, quite informative, and kept my interest all the way through. Undoubtedly there are far better, more comprehensive biographies out there, but not yet having read or listened to any of them, I found this one to be quite sufficient. Poor Marilyn Monroe, she had a lot of emotional problems….😢

lovely book
It was an easy to listen to book. I was surprised when it was finished which is a good thing I guess. Many unknown facts about Marylin. I enjoyed it!

Sad Tale of Marilyn Monroe
This short (under two hours) tale of Marilyn Monroe and her psychiatrist is a sad one for sure. The whole world has been captivated by Marilyn and her beauty, but the fact is she never grew up or learned to deal with real life. It makes me wonder if a different approach and some tough love might have been more beneficial to her, but no one had the guts to do it. I cannot imagine a person being so self absorbed and focused on their own looks and their own body, and using it as a tool to manipulate others. I'm very sad about her birth and childhood, but at some point in our lives we all have to come to terms with the things and circumstances which have caused us to be the way that we are. And I'm not unsympathetic, just realistic. I'm an adult child of an alcoholic, who learned early on to take care of myself. It was no fun. I have to say that Marilyn surrounded herself by a myriad of enablers and continued to act like a two year old all of her life, right up until the end, and went out of this life throwing one more fit. 😥

For once a More Analytical Read
This is not your usual gossipy Hollywood bio. It actually has some credible and knowledgeable analysts of Marilyn. No matter how it’s told, it is still a sad story.

DID ANYONE CONSIDER SUBSTANCE ABUSEQ
I don’t know how ANYONE can diagnose any mental or physical illness until all drugs and alcohol are completely out of the patient’s system—-that is likely a couple of months after terminating the alcohol and drugs. As more than one Ph.d psychologist and psychiatrist has told me, “You don’t know what you have until you factor out the effects of self medication.” I don’t think it was any secret Marilyn abused drugs and alcohol.
I am probably one of the few who believe in Freudian psychoanalysis. To me it is a depth threat, not so much to treat severe mental illness, but pluming the depths of one’s psyche. Naturally one expects a positive change in the patient’s mental and perhaps physical condition.
Dr. Greeson noted it would be years before MM would be ready for psychoanalysis. I don’t think certain conditions like personality disorders or bipolar respond to psychoanalysis.If I could I would love to be plumb the depths of my psyche.

Interesting case for a psicoanalist like myself. Though there are a number of dates repeated and it could be more organized.
