Julian de Ajuriaguerra practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Julian de Ajuriaguerra as French Basque neuropsychiatrist and psychoanalyst (1911–1993).
Julian de Ajuriaguerra was born at Bilbao in 1911. His recorded nationality is France. He trained at Paris Medical Faculty.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, laboratory medicine, vaccines and public health began to change mortality at population scale.
His posts were held at Collège de France and Clinique de Belle-Idée.
The recorded fields of work are neuropsychiatry.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from France matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Julian de Ajuriaguerra died in 1993, aged 82. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
