distinguished fellowship of the American Psychiatry Association, honorary membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry
He is also the president[4] and founder of theUkrainian Psychiatric Association,[5] founder of theAmerican-Ukrainian Bureau for Human Rights,[6] director of theInternational Medical Rehabilitation Center for the Victims of War and Totalitarian Regimes,[7] a member of the Council of Experts under theUkraine's Ministry of Labor and Social Policy.[8] He also is co-chairperson of theBabi Yar Committee and former dissident and political prisoner.[9] He holds M.D. qualification.[10]
His father was doctor of medical sciences Fischel Hluzman (1904–1987). In 1968, he graduated from theKyiv Medical Institute.[11] After graduation, Hluzman started working in Ukrainian psychiatric hospitals and was offered a position at theDnipropetrovsk Special Psychiatric Hospital in a city not far from theBlack Sea.[12]
Semen Hluzman was the first psychiatrist in theSoviet Union to openly oppose Soviet abuse of psychiatry against dissenters.[13] In 1971, Hluzman wrote an in-absentia psychiatric report on GeneralPetro 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 inmateVladimir Bukovsky jointly wroteA Manual on Psychiatry for Dissidents published in Russian,[17] English,[18] French,[19] Italian,[20] German,[21] Danish.[22]
In 1991, Hluzman founded theUkrainian Psychiatric Association (UPA) as an independent mouthpiece and created a commission to address grievances about civil rights violations by mental health administrators.[24]
In 2008, Semen Hluzman was honored with the Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry presented to him at the XIV Congress of theWorld Psychiatric Association inPrague 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 inUkraine.[26]
