Biography

His father was doctor of medical sciences Fischel Hluzman (1904–1987). In 1968, he graduated from the Kyiv Medical Institute.^[11] After graduation, Hluzman started working in Ukrainian psychiatric hospitals and was offered a position at the Dnipropetrovsk Special Psychiatric Hospital in a city not far from the Black Sea.^[12]

Semen Hluzman was the first psychiatrist in the Soviet Union to openly oppose Soviet abuse of psychiatry against dissenters.^[13] In 1971, Hluzman wrote an in-absentia psychiatric report on General Petro Hryhorenko^[14] who spoke against the human rights abuses in the Soviet Union.^[15] Hluzman came to the conclusion that Hryhorenko was mentally sane and had been taken to mental hospitals for political reasons.^[14] In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hluzman was forced to serve seven years in labor camp and three years in Siberian exile for defending Hryhorenko against the charge of insanity.^[15] On 28 November 1977, Amnesty International added Hluzman to its list of 92 members of the medical profession who were imprisoned for their political beliefs.^[16] While in prison, Hluzman and fellow inmate Vladimir Bukovsky jointly wrote A Manual on Psychiatry for Dissidents published in Russian,^[17] English,^[18] French,^[19] Italian,^[20] German,^[21] Danish.^[22]

In the 1980s, Hluzman (who is a Jew) turned down offers to migrate to Israel by "people sent from American synagogues" and even Soviet officials.^[23]

In 1991, Hluzman founded the Ukrainian Psychiatric Association (UPA) as an independent mouthpiece and created a commission to address grievances about civil rights violations by mental health administrators.^[24]

In recognition of his courage and commitment to ethical psychiatry, Hluzman was given the title of a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatry Association and the title of an Honorary Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 1980.^[25]

In 2008, Semen Hluzman was honored with the Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry presented to him at the XIV Congress of the World Psychiatric Association in Prague for exceptional courage and adherence to ideals of humanism, for renunciation of using psychiatry against political dissidents as well as for dissemination of ethical principles during the reform of mental health service in Ukraine.^[26]

Hluzman coauthored many research papers covering psychiatry in Ukraine,^[27] the health consequences of the Chornobyl accident,^[28] their risk perceptions,^[29] suicide ideation,^[30] heavy alcohol use,^[31] nicotine dependence,^[32] intimate partner aggression.^[33]
