We grieve the loss of one of the members of the Journal's Editorial Advisory Board, David Rosen. David graduated with a degree in psychological-biological sciences from the University of California Berkeley and gained his medical degree at the University of Missouri. Always a seeker of the symbolic, David earned his Diploma in Analytical Psychology with the Jung Institute of Santa Fe. For a quarter of a century, he taught as the first holder of the McMillan Professor of Analytical Psychology at Texas A&M University. He took great pride as the General Editor for the Fay Lecture Book Series in Analytical Psychology, bringing esteemed Jungians to the campus for lectures and stewarding their work through to publication.
As a Senior Training Analyst for the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, David was known for his gentle spirit, wry humour, love for teaching, and his generosity with his time and knowledge. He was a resolute writer, penning over 100 publications, capturing his thoughts from poetry to psychiatry, from synchronicity to the Tao. His research into survivors of suicide led him to study the idea of egocide, the symbolic sacrifice of the ego. His memoir Torn Asunder: Putting Back the Pieces stressed the necessity of creativity in transformation. His book The Tao of Jung: The Way of Integrity considers how the Tao may have influenced C. G. Jung. An unabashed fan of Elvis, his book The Tao of Elvis offers a moving and inspirational perspective on the nature of pain, suffering, and harmony in a person's life.
Analyst, college professor, prolific writer, poet, artist and dabbler in stand-up comedy, David will be well-remembered by the many colleagues and friends whose lives he touched. He leaves behind his wife, Lanara, and his three daughters, Sarah, Laura and Rachel.
