I am so very sorry for the loss of Dr. Richard Swinson. I was unaware until now of his passing. I was an RN at Toronto General in psychiatry from 1983-1988. I worked primarily on Dr. Swinson' s team with anxiety disorders, OCD and agoraphobia. He was truly an inspiration, so very gifted, kind with a wonderful sense of humour. He taught us so many valuable techniques in helping people in his care... Confdolenscences to his family, friends and colleagues.

I had no idea Dr. Swinson has passed. To say that he got me through one of the most challenging times of my life is an understatement. I will be eternally grateful to him and my condolences to the family. He was a wonderful soul.
