Book Synopsis

World War II brought together a group of psychiatrists and clinical and social psychologists in the British Army who developed a number of radical, action-oriented organizational innovations in social psychiatry. They became known as the Tavistock Group, since the core members had been at the pre-war Tavistock Clinic.
