   William Parry-Jones was professor of child and adolescent psychiatry in Glasgow University from 1987 until his untimely death in 1997. He came to prominence in the aftermath of the Lockerbie air disaster and later applied his expertise in post traumatic stress disorder for the benefit of young people in the Balkans. He was also a pioneering historian of psychiatry and active in marriage guidance counselling. All of these facets of his life are reflected in his extensive personal papers.
   
   Born in Essex in 1935, William was educated at Llangefni Grammar School in Anglesey, Caius College, Cambridge and the London Hospital Medical School. He was a registrar in psychiatry at the North Wales Hospital for Mental and Nervous Disorders in Denbigh from 1961 to 1965, then moved to Oxford. Initially appointed as a senior registrar at Littlemore Hospital, he moved to the Warneford Hospital on becoming a clinical lecturer in psychiatry at Oxford University in 1969. He became the consultant in charge of the Highfield Adolescent Unit in 1972.
   
   As head of the department of child and adolescent psychiatry in the University of Glasgow, William made a major impact on clinical work, undergraduate teaching and postgraduate training. As the only professor of the subject in Scotland, he was a natural choice to advise the Scottish Office on child and adolescent mental health issues. They particularly called on his expertise following the Lockerbie air crash. Having thus developed expertise in dealing with post traumatic stress amongst children and adolescents, William was drawn into similar work in Bosnia, Croatia, Hungary, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia, following a succession of wars in the former Yugoslavia. He undertook teaching, training and advisory work.
