He contributed a tremendous amount of valuable research in his all-too-brief life, and was not afraid to take an unpopular stance in defense of the profession.

I was privileged to have been in contact with Bill, during his long illness, when he was working diligently on his article, published in Psychiatric Times.¹ He will be sorely missed by friends, family and colleagues, and I send my sincere condolences to his family.

Information on Dr Glazer can be found here.
