A dedicated researcher and writer, Silas co-authored a major work on personality disorders. His other published works dealt with how preschool children learn, and the relationship between truth, reality, lies and delusions. Among his written articles was a major feature in "The New York Times" on cocaine use in professional sports. Shortly after his death in San Francisco on November 20, 1993, a paper of his was presented to the American Psychological Association (APA) which dealt with the life and career of Dr. Joseph Cheesman Thompson, a psychoanalyst who had had considerable influence on the founder of Dianetics.[1]
