David Garfield Obituary
Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 5, 2024.

David Garfield, MD died on October 4th 2024 after a long illness. From a young age, 
David aways knew he had a calling to help others. In middle school, the business card 
he made in shop class said "Need advice? Call Garfield". Fondly known as "Gar," he
spent his young adolescence getting into mild mischief with his best friends while 
simultaneously excelling in school. He graduated magna cum laude from Haverford college
in 1974, majoring in english literature and biochemistry. He attended medical school at 
the University of California San Francisco. His psychiatry residency was at the 
Massachusetts Mental Health center at Harvard Medical School. He later trained in 
psychoanalysis and continued on the faculty of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.
He was a Lifetime Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a 
member of Alpha Omega Alpha. David was Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and served as 
faculty at Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago for 30 years.

David's love of people and stories, combined with his warmth and capacity to connect deeply,
resulted in a rewarding and multifaceted career. He was dedicated to his work with patients.
He trained and taught several hundred medical students and residents. He published numerous 
professional articles. His book, Unbearable Affect (1995, second edition 2009) focused on the
role of emotion in the process of psychotherapy with psychotic patients.

David was beloved husband to Bonnie, loving father of Jenny (Jeffrey) Glazer, and son Jacob 
Garfield; cherished grandfather of Evan, Harry and Ari David Glazer; and loving brother of 
Robert (Sandy) Garfield and his late sister Deborah (Bruce) Wunnicke.

As passionate as he was about his work, he dearly loved his family and friends. He had a zest
for life, lived a good one, and will be dearly missed.

Services Tuesday, October 8th at 2pm at North Shore Congregation Israel. 1185 Sheridan Road,
Glencoe, IL 60022.
