Tavistock Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations was an outgrowth of the original parent body, the Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, commonly referred to then as the Tavistock Clinic, which was founded in 1920 in Tavistock Square in London. |
 | | Thus The "Tavistock Clinic", which was once the common name for the parent body, now refers to part of a National Health Service trust, while the "Tavistock Institute", which once did research in many areas and was funded by many sources, is now a charity. |
 | | The Institute was founded in 1946, by a core group of key figures at the Tavistock Clinic including Henry Dicks, Leonard Browne, Ronald Hargreaves, John Rawlings Rees, Mary Luff and Wilfred Bion with Tommy Wilson as chairman, funded by a grant of 'untied funds' from the Rockefeller Foundation. |
