It was loosly based on the experiences of Rosten's close friend Ralph Greenson M.D. Greenson was a medical officer (captain) stationed at Yuma, Arizona. Greenson is well known for his work on "empathy" and was one of the first in his field to seriously associate Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome(war neurosis)with battle experiences. He was a director of the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute and was a practicing Freudian. Greenson is perhaps best known as Marilyn Monroe's analyst in addition to Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Vivian Leigh.
