Author Biography
Cobbs, Price M. (Author)
Price Mashaw Cobbs was born in Los Angeles, California on November 2, 1928. He served in the Army from 1951 to 1952. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1954 and a medical degree from Meharry Medical College in 1958. After several residencies, he became an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California's San Francisco Medical Center in 1963.

He and Dr. William H. Grier opened a clinic in San Francisco in the mid-1960s and noticed patterns in the problems and experiences of their patients. This lead to the book Black Rage, which defined the anger felt by many black Americans and identified it as a legacy of slavery. They also wrote The Jesus Bag, which focused on the role of religion in shaping the black psyche. Cobbs other books included Cracking the Corporate Code: The Revealing Success Stories of 32 African-American Executives written with Judith L. Turnock and My American Life: From Rage to Entitlement. He became a consultant for companies and organizations seeking to become more diverse and develop executives of color. He died from heart and lung failure on June 25, 2018 at the age of 89.
