Author Explores Surviving Cancer




Roger B. Granet, MD, FAPA
UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School '74

Working with cancer patients and their loved ones and educating medical students, residents and fellows are Roger Granet’s true passions in life, along with his love of writing. Over the years, he has published a number of poems in oncology journals, and he has been the editor of the Dell Mental Health Series, a compilation of 10 books that began publication in 1999.


This prolific author and editor blends cutting edge academic psychiatry with years of empathic clinical practice. He has published more than 20 books, including “If You Think You Have Depression” and “Surviving Cancer Emotionally.” He is also the co-author of “Why Am I Up, Why Am I Down?: Understanding Bipolar Disorder” and “If You Think You Have Depression.” Both have been translated into Polish and Spanish editions.


In 2001, he wrote “Surviving Cancer Emotionally: Learning How to Heal,” which led him to establish The Center for Psychiatry and Psycho-Oncology to deal directly with this issue.
Granet is a consulting psychiatrist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; a clinical professor of psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell University; a lecturer of psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; and an attending physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Morristown Memorial Hospital. He maintains private practices in both New York City and Morristown, New Jersey. “My bottom line is this: I will do anything I can to help those with cancer.”
