Dror Green

Dror Green (Hebrew: דרור גרין; born 1954) is a psychotherapist and author. He developed the methods of Emotional Training and Emotional Thinking, based on his concept of human nature. Although he was descended from a family that had lived in Israel for ten generations, he did not identify with Zionism, as he writes in the introduction to his book, ABC of Israeli Apartheid. Green was born in Jerusalem in 1954. As a thirteen-year-old boy he witnessed Israeli soldiers destroying a Palestinian neighborhood near the Western Wall in the old city of Jerusalem. As a soldier in the war of 1973 between Israel, Syria and Egypt, he witnessed the Israeli army destroying villages before withdrawing from occupied Syrian territory. He was wounded in the war and suffered from PTSD, and the experience of trauma and war crimes influenced his personal and professional life, as described in his Back to Crew No. 4. He holds an MA and PhD in psychotherapy (Regent's College, City University, London). He studied music composition with Mark Kopytman at the Rubin Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem, and at the same time finished his BA in musicology and philosophy in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was the director of the 'Jerusalem Design Workshop' and the CEO of 'Israeli Music Publication'.
