It should be noted that many of the names given to Tavistock bodies have been used more than once throughout the history of the Tavistock. 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 name "Tavistock Instutute of Medical Psychology", which was the name used for the original parent body, is now used to refer to an organisation that grew out of that parent body but now specialised in couples relationships under the section name of the "Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships". This is a source of much confusion, though the facts can be ascertained from the historical account of the Tavistock by Eric Trist, one time chairman of the Institute [1]. {{redirect|NHS} The logo of the NHS for England. ...
History of the Tavistock
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. Other famous names that joined the group later were Jock Sutherland, John Bowlby and Eric Trist. It is notable that many of these founding members of the Tavistock Institute went on to play major roles in world affairs. Brigadier John Rawlings Rees became psychiatrist to Rudolph Hess, Adolf Hitler's deputy, along with Major Henry Dicks, while they were still attached to the Tavistock, and went on to be part of the three-man team that certified Hess fit for trial at the Nuremburg trials [2]. Post-war, Rees became first president of the World Federation for Mental Health, a fact recorded by Trist [3]. Though the official WFMH website [4] does not list directors, a page on the site refers to the annual Rees lecture, 'in memory of Dr Mary Rees Hemingway, one of the early women psychiatrists in Britain, and among the first staff members at the Tavistock Clinic when it was founded in 1920." It goes on to say, "she was one of the founders of the WFMH, (her husband Dr John R. Rees was the first President and first Director.)" [5]. Jock Sutherland became director of the new post-war Tavistock Clinic, when it became incorporated into the newly established British National Health Service in 1946. Ronald Hargreaves became deputy director of the World Health Organisation. Tommy Wilson became chairman of the Tavistock Institute. [6]. A history of the Institute can be found in The Social Engagement of Social Science: A Tavistock Anthology published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in three volumes between 1990 and 1997. 1946 (MCMXLVI) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ...

Controversial Activities Many claims have been made by well known figures that the Tavistock has occupied and continues to occupy an important role in world affairs. According to David Icke, one of the more extreme conspiracy theorists, "the emergence of today's vast network of mind control centres and operations can be traced back to the British Army's Directorate of Psychological Warfare commanded by Brigader General John Rawlings Rees. This interlocked with the Tavistock Clinic . . . later came the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London and this is the centre of a global web which includes the Stanford Institute in the United States ("The Biggest Secret", p312). A conspiracy theory attempts to explain the ultimate cause of an event (usually a political, social, or historical event) as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance of powerful people or organizations rather than as an overt activity or as natural occurrence. ...
According to Byron T Weeks, MD, "Today, the Tavistock Institute operates a $6 Billion a year network of Foundations in the U.S., all of it funded by U.S. taxpayers' money. Ten major institutions are under its direct control, with 400 subsidiaries, and 3000 other study groups and think tanks which originate many types of programs to increase the control of the World Order over the American people. The Stanford Research Institute, adjoining the Hoover Institution, is a $150 million a year operation with 3300 employees. It carries on program surveillance for Bechtel, Kaiser, and 400 other companies, and extensive intelligence operations for the CIA. It is the largest institution on the West Coast promoting mind control and the behavioral sciences."
Focal Point for Psychoanalytical Theory Many famous psychologists and psychiatrists have passed through the Tavistock Institute over the years, and it is well known as the focal point in Britain for Psychoanalysis and the Psychodynamic theories of Sigmund Freud and his followers. Freud himself lived close by during his period in England. Other names associated with the Tavistock are: Melanie Klein, Carl Gustav Jung, J. A. Hadfield, Beckett, Charles Rycroft and R. D. Laing [7].

Ronald Laing came to the Tavistock Institute in 1956 at the invitation of Jock Sutherland who was then director of the Tavistock Clinic, to train on a grant [8] [9]. His training, under Charles Rycroft, was at the Institute of Psychoanalysis [10]. He left in 1965, and went on to develop his own ideas, particularly with regard to Schizophrenia, which he suggested might be a natural, and understandable, curative process, rather than a disease of the mind. His view of schizophrenia, based largely on the concept of Family nexus, were explained in a series of famous books such as Sanity, Madness and the Family. Laing is often associated with the Antipsychiatry movement. R.D.Laing; photo credit Robert E.
