An Appeal on behalf of THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY, by S. P. B. MAIS
The Institute of Medical Psychology (the Tavistock Clinic) has been in existence only fourteen years, but has proved itself a much needed charity.
It is a hospital that treats poor people suffering from mental maladjustment and ' nervous ' disorders. It includes a special department for children, officially recognised by the L.C.C., and receives a grant from King Edward's Hospital Fund. The Institute is also responsible for post-Graduate courses for medical practitioners and lecture courses for the clergy, trained social workers, and the general public.
The President, H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, recently called attention to an estimate that in England and Wales alone about three million people are afflicted with nervous troubles requiring treatment. From every area of the British Isles doctors write to arrange treatment for their patients, but owing to lack of funds the waiting list is closed for about ten months every year.
