New York Psychotherapist Marilyn J. Klein Dies



At 6 pm on Monday, October 1, 2007, Marilyn J. Klein, LCSW, who practiced psychotherapy for many years in New York, died of complications following open heart surgery at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan.



She had had the surgery on Tuesday, September 25, and seemed to be recovering, but on Friday she went into shock and suffered total organ failure. She died on the ICU Unit at Millstein Pavillion of Columbia-Presbyterian.



The funeral was held on Wednesday morning, October 3, at the Riverside Memorial Chapel in Manhattan, and she was buried next to her mother at the Beth David Cemetery in Elmont on Long Island.



Marilyn was born in Brooklyn on June 14, 1932, and attended the Bronx School of Science, New York University and Hunter College, as well as various postgraduate schools, including the Object Relations Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis and the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health.



As a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, she worked with individual adults, couples, groups and families. She lived and maintained her office for many years at 525 West End Avenue.



She was also a talented writer. She wrote articles about animal care for the West Side Spirit, a local New York weekly. She also wrote children's stories and was an active member of workshops at the West Side YMCA Writer's Voice. She belonged to a group of children's book writers who called themselves the "Wild Writers" in reference to Maurice Sendak's children's classic, "Where the Wild Things Are."



One of Marilyn's stories--"The Owls in the Stone"--was read at her funeral. Upon learning of Marilyn's death her workshop leader wrote from Colorado: "I can't tell you how sad I am. She was a brilliant writer and wonderful woman. The Wild Writers just won't be the same without her."



Marilyn Klein is survived by her brother, Dr. Harold Klein, of Boca Raton, Florida, his wife Lila, four nieces and nephews and their children, numerous cousins, and her beloved cat Terrissa.
