A tribute to Frances Tustin

Frances Tustin died on 1 1 November 1994, at the age of 8 1 . Someone said to me during her last illness, ‘I never had supervision from her, but she’s always been a presence in my life.’ Those who came in contact with her found that the way they saw their work, and indeed their life, was lastingly transformed. Thinking of her, I am reminded of lines from Jon Stallworthy’s poem ‘Credits’: Whose eyes, from looking much On the circumference Of life beyond this life Mirrored two worlds at once.*
