Staff fluent in Spanish are available. This center is named in memory of a great man whose work in the field of psychiatry, helping New Yorkers from every walk of life for more than half a century, was no less than extraordinary. Like the work of many of his colleagues in the field, the impact did not attract headlines. It did however, transform lives of countless patients and peers who he listened to, advised and taught. Eugene D. Glynn, M.D. (1926-2007) was a distinguished psychiatrist and art critic, whose essays and reviews were published in The Village Voice, Art News, and the Print Collector’s Newsletter. A graduate of NYU College of Medicine and a veteran of World War II, Dr. Glynn dedicated his professional life to public medicine, specializing in the treatment of adolescents and in the supervision and teaching of social workers. Director of Clinical Services at JBFCS, Dr. Glynn also served as a consulting psychiatrist for the Gay Men’s Health Crisis. He was a highly regarded professional analyst for whom psychoanalysis was an actual practice - not just a critical theory. He integrated his passion for art into his work with patients as well as in the classroom. His lectures were standing-room-only events where students hung on every word. His life’s work was, simply, to take care of other people in his public role as a psychiatrist and in his private role as a confident and friend to many. “Click here to learn more about the gift in memory of Dr. Eugene D. Glynn.” |
