Conference overview
Discover the unique role played by the Tavistock and Portman in the advance of psychotherapy and developmental theory through patient files and clinic records dating back nearly a century.
This unique project undertaken by London Metropolitan Archives and funded by the Wellcome Trust – maybe one of the deepest dives into a medical institution’s records – reveals as much about the changing times as it does about the work of the two clinics and provides a fascinating insight into the evolving mental health landscape in the 20th century.
