Berzon, Betty
Biography
Betty Louise Berzon was born to a middle-class Jewish family on January 18, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri. The family moved
to Tuscon, Arizona when Berzon was young, and upon graduating high school she attended Stanford University, majoring in journalism
and creative writing. In 1949, Berzon got a job in a bookstore, which turned into a short-lived career as a bookseller. She
owned and operated Berzon Books in 1951 in Los Angeles, but it went out of business after one year.
In the following years, she experienced a bout of depression and sought treatment in a psychiatric hospital. After her release
from the hospital, she got a job in a sanitarium and enrolled in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a psychology
student. While working on her degree, Berzon took a job as a caseworker for the American Red Cross Military Hospital Service,
and later for the San Diego County Probation Department. By 1958, she had graduated with a Master's degree in Psychology from
San Diego State College and hadbegan working for a psychotherapy research organization, Western Behavioral Sciences Institute
(WBSI). There, she developed her psychotherapy career and created program materials for group therapy sessions called the
Bell & Howell Encountertape Series. She evenually left WBSI and established herself as a consultant, developing workshops, training sessions and seminars in
group therapy, personal growth and interpersonal relationships. She later received her Ph.D.
By 1971, Berzon had began specializing in work counseling gay men and lesbian women, as well as same-sex couples. Throughout
the 1970s to 2000s, Berzon edited or wrote a number of books about gay and lesbian identity, relationships, and homophobia,
including
Positively Gay,
Permanent Partners,
Intimacy Dance, and
Setting Them Straight. She also wrote an autobiography about her therapy career and experience coming out as a lesbian woman called
Surviving Madness.
In addition to her psychotherapy and writing career, Berzon was an outspoken activist on behalf of gay and lesbian rights
and awareness. Among her advocacy work, Berzon served as the National President of the Gay Academic Union; served on the boards
of National Gay Rights Advocates and the Gay Community Services Center (later called the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center);
and was the founding Board Chair of the Gay and Lesbian Adolescent Social Services (GLASS). She also participated in the Lambda
Literary Foundation and the Whitman-Radclyffe Foundation.
In the 1970s, Berzon met Teresa DeCrescenzo, who would be her partner throughout the rest of her life. Berzon and DeCrescenzo
lived together in Los Angeles for 33 years. Berzon died of cancer on January 24, 2006.
