David Trappler Psychiatrist Tamboerskloof

“My dual education and approach enables me to monitor medication requirements, whilst my patients develop a deeper understanding of themselves through psychotherapy.”

I studied medicine in Johannesburg, at Wits University, from 1972 to 1977. And then did my housemanship and Senior Housemanship at Baragwanath Hospital. In 1980 I worked at Guys Hospital, London, in the United Kingdom as a medical officer. As well as on the British protectorate Islands of Tristan da Cunha and St Helena in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. My registrar years of training to become a specialist psychiatrist commenced in 1981 at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, and I qualified as a psychiatrist in 1985. After working as a consultant in the Department of psychiatry, University of Cape Town Medical School for two years, I commenced private practice in 1987. I have been a Jungian Analyst and founding member of SAAJA since 1994 and am registered with the IAAP in Zurich as such. I work as a general psychiatrist and psycho-analyst, in the City Bowl of Cape Town.
