Originally published in 1970 this title commemorates the men and
ideas that started, inspired and established a pioneer institution
in British psychiatry. Based on the impetus of Freudian and related
innovations after the First World War, the Tavistock Clinic offered
treatment, training and research facilities in the field of
neurosis, child guidance and later on group relations. Dr Dicks,
who had been associated for nearly forty years with the work and
personalities that helped to develop the Tavistock venture,
describes the struggles and capacity for survival of the clinic. He
shows how, belonging neither to the older classical psychiatry nor
to orthodox psychoanalysis, and suspect to both, the Clinic
nevertheless became increasingly used by the rest of the profession
as a psychotherapeutic resource. Dr Dicks describes the influence
of the Tavistock on the medical, psychological and social work
scene both before and after the Second World War, and assesses its
achievements as a centre of psycho- and socio-dynamic thinking. The
Tavistock is shown as a pioneer sui generis, launching
psychosomatic research and initiating the exciting ventures in
social psychiatry associated with the Army in the Second World War.
As the Tavistock was the outcome of work with shell-shock victims
in the first war, so its offspring, the Institute of Human
Relations, was the natural continuation of the military effort in
man-management, morale and group dynamic studies. The book includes
an account of the inter-relationship between the Clinic, now part
of the National Health Service, and the Institute, a private
corporation. Still going strong as part of the Tavistock and
Portman NHS Foundation Trust today this is an opportunity to
revisit its early history.
