Tom Hayley, Editor of the International Journal and Review of Psychoanalysis since 1978, died in June after a varied, rich and fulfilling life. His career spanned the fields of anthropology, the Indian Civil Service and the Institute of Psychoanalysis, where he worked diligently for over 40 years, serving to revise the organisation's rules of procedure, as a training analyst and as a Vice-President of the Society.

Tom's zest for living was punctuated by the unusual: piloting the early bi-planes; in Africa, being besieged overnight in a land rover by a lion, whose eyes glowing in the darkness did not prevent him from sleeping soundly; and, during his anthropological studies, observing the ritual removal of a ‘bad object’ from an unwell tribesman by a Lango medicine-man who then spat it into a gourd.

Tom took great pleasure from his farm in Kent, doing much of the work himself on the weekends, and enjoying his children and grandchildren. He was a friend, supervisor and analyst to many, and he shall be missed.
