History

George Saslow was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on December 5, 1906. He trained at the University of Rochester from 1926-1928 and at Harvard University from 1937-1940. He also earned a Ph.D. in Physiology from New York University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1931. He was a professor of Psychiatry at Washington University from 1953-1955 and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School from 1955-1957.

Saslow was a research assistant at Harvard University in the early 40s at the time of the famous Coconut Grove nightclub fire, a disaster which killed and injured hundreds of people. He interviewed the survivors and described their reactions. This early work formed the basis of grief theory and later, our understanding of post traumatic stress.
