graphic file with name ersa23fe.f1.jpgPsychotherapist, formerly on staff of the West London Hospital (b 1918; q Oxford 1943), died on 13 January 2002 from bronchopneumonia after several small strokes.

The son of a missionary in South Africa, Archie moved to England after his father's death. After house jobs, he entered general practice, but became interested in psychotherapy, which was to be his life's work. He retired from private practice only after his first stroke at the age of 82. An enthusiastic glider pilot (his oldest child was taken aloft at the tender age of three weeks), he only finally gave up in his 60s to spend more time with his family. He leaves a wife, Therese; three sons; and five granddaughters.
