Abstract
Born in the Bronx, New York, Herbert J. Greenwald displayed extraordinary intellectual gifts from an early age. A deeply empathic, visionary social psychologist, Herb was committed to improving human experience by understanding the mind. His seminal work was the result of a fascinating journey that presents an understanding of that complexity and transformed his own life in the process. In The Psychological Brain (2017), Herb introduced psychological systems theory. Psychological Roots, a key system within this framework, help people uncover subconscious processes that shape how they think and behave and learn practical strategies for addressing and satisfying these critical processes. Herb embodied "Tikkun Olam," the Jewish principle, "to help mend and repair the world." His kindness, wisdom, and relentless pursuit of knowledge left an indelible mark on countless lives. He will be remembered as one whose legacy continues to inspire, both through his extraordinary contributions to psychology and the footprints he left on the hearts of those who knew him.

赫伯特·j·格林沃尔德(Herbert J. Greenwald)出生在纽约布朗克斯,从小就表现出非凡的智力天赋。赫伯是一位富有同情心、富有远见的社会心理学家,他致力于通过理解心灵来改善人类的体验。他的开创性作品是一段迷人旅程的结果,这段旅程呈现了对这种复杂性的理解,并在此过程中改变了他自己的生活。在《心理大脑》(2017)一书中,赫伯介绍了心理系统理论。心理根源是这个框架中的一个关键系统,它帮助人们发现塑造他们思考和行为方式的潜意识过程,并学习解决和满足这些关键过程的实用策略。赫伯体现了犹太人的原则“Tikkun Olam”,即“帮助修补和修复世界”。他的善良、智慧和对知识的不懈追求在无数人的生命中留下了不可磨灭的印记。他对心理学的杰出贡献和他在认识他的人心中留下的足迹将继续激励着人们,他将被人们铭记。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
