We are offering this time for people to share their memories of Julian. Ian McCallum will open the proceedings, and then it will be open for anyone to share.
This is an opportunity to honor Julian and his foundational contribution to the existence and success of SAAJA. All are welcome. Please bring your stories and memories to share, and RSVP to Lynda Blanchard at SAAJA saaja@mweb.co.za
Julian David and his wife, Yasmin, chose to leave their home in England and come to South Africa for a period of four years, to fulfill the need the Centre had for a resident analyst. They arrived at the beginning of 1989, and soon settled in Scarborough. Julian was the first analyst of the first training group in SAAJA, and continued his support of SAAJA and the Gauteng group on an annual basis, for the next 30 years.
We owe a great debt of gratitude to Julian for his work as founding analyst, and his unwavering commitment to SAAJA’s growth over these years. He played a similarly huge role in the enduring success of the Jung group in Gauteng.
He was a storyteller and a philosopher, with in-depth and sensible insight into the workings of the human psyche. His wisdom and enveloping humanity will stay with us evermore.
