Dear Steven Poser,
I’m a Dutch scriptwriter and novelist and I’ve been in psychoanalysis myself for many years. I read your terrific e-book about MM, it’s full of insights and explores the dilemma’s in the treatment by Dr. Greenson. I sometimes get the impression he was in love with MM. The same happened with the psychiater who treated the poet Sylvia Plath, as you know. She also killed herself. My question: you started The Misfit as a sort of research-paper for a French filmmaker. Did he or she write the screenplay? Are they going to make a film based on your marterial? Thank you for the answer.
Kind regards,
Hans Galesloot (see my writing credits on imdb.com)
