Michael Green LONGMEADOW - Michael Green, 92, passed away on Tuesday. He was born in Burlington, Vt., on Dec. 9, 1920 to Morris and Rivka Greenstein, immigrants from what is now the Ukraine. He spent his early years in Burlington and later moved to Brooklyn, N.Y. and then to Newark, N.J., receiving his undergraduate education at the University of Newark (now Rutgers University). He served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, evaluating competencies of aircrew personnel as a member of the psychological research unit. He was honorably discharged in 1946, which was the year he met and married his wife, Esther. Shortly after, he began medical studies at New York Medical College, receiving his M.D. in 1950. He interned in psychiatry for two years at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. and afterward did further postgraduate studies in child psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center in New Haven, Conn. He was appointed medical director of the Springfield Child Guidance Clinic in 1956, a position he held for the next 40 years. He continued his studies at the Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute and later maintained an active psychoanalytic practice. In addition, he held a clinical faculty position at Yale Medical School, where he taught child psychiatry fellows and medical students. He served a term as president of the Western New England Psychoanalytic Society, and was a lifelong member of the American Psychiatric Association. He lived in the Forest Park area of Springfield until 2011, when he moved to Longmeadow.
