Significant cases and news analysis
In 1991 Stephen Blumberg, 42 years old, was found guilty on four felony counts, including one of possessing 21,000 books, valued at $20 million, stolen from institutions in 45 states and Canada. Dr. Lipson, while a psychologist at the Menninger Hospital in Topeka Kan., testified as an expert for the defense. Lipson stated it was his professional opinion that Blumberg "is chronically maladjusted and not faking insanity in hopes of getting light punishment for the theft of the rare book", including the opinion that Blumberg was "way out there, not close to average".

In 1997 Dr. Lipson was the defense expert psychologist in the Susan Eubanks case after Eubanks fatally shot her four sons. Lipson’s testimony resulted in the AP interviewing him in 1999 as to why Mothers kill their own children.

In the 2002 case of Eileen Childs, and her daughter, Jennifer, who were accused of setting fire to Larry Childs' bed and then beating him with a baseball bat when he ran from the room. The prosecution contended that the women planned to kill Larry Childs to collect $1.4 million in life insurance. Both women were acquitted. Dr. Glenn Lipson, testified about abusive relationships and domestic violence. Lipson said that Eileen Childs may have suffered "memory fragmentation" after experiencing the trauma of the fire and allegedly being attacked by her husband as he fled from the room where the fire started. Lipson added that people with memory fragmentation may forget specific details of a traumatic incident and instead only recall their feelings and emotions at the time.

In 2007 Dr. Lipson testified at the sentencing hearing for Lance Cpl. Robert B. Pennington, age 22 Marine, who pled guilty to kidnapping and conspiracy. He was part of an eight-member squad accused of kidnapping and murdering Hashim Ibrahim Awad, 52, in April 2006 in the Iraqi town of Hamdania. Pennington was sentenced to 8 years.
