Samuel Aaron Tannenbaum was born in Hungary around 1874. After immigrating to the United States in 1886, he studied at the College of the City of New York. In 1895, he became a citizen of the United States. In 1898, he received his M.D. degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University and began practicing psychotherapy in New York City. Tannenbaum was twice married--in 1901, to Jeannette S. Rosett and, in 1942, to Dorothy Rosenzweig with whom he collaborated on several publications.

Tannenbaum's publications reflect his career in psychotherapy and his intense interest in Shakespeare and his times. Major works range from The Psychology of Accidents (1924) and The Patient's Dilemma (1935) to Problems in Shakespeare's Penmanship (1927) and Shakespearean Scraps and Other Elizabethan Fragments (1933). He contributed a great many articles to journals in the field of psychotherapy and the field of Shakespearean scholarship, serving for many years as the editor of the Shakespeare Association Bulletin .
