 SAUL S. GREENBERG M. D. Director of I.N.S. Dear Sir: I am a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry and orthomolecular medicine. I graduated the University of Chicago in 1956, State University of New York Medical School in 1962, internship in Beth El Hospital, New York City, in 1963, and residency at Cornell University in 1964 and 1965, and the University of California San Francisco Medical School in 1966. Bhagwan’s contribution to the understanding of human nature and to psychological therapy far surpasses any previous system of psychological therapy and is of world-wide importance. I consider him a genius who has made a unique contribution to my field. Yours truly, |
