Country Overview • London: Comprised of 32 boroughs along with the City, London is often described as more of a conglomerate of villages than a unified city. Each area heritage and traditions are alive and evolving, from the City of London 2000-year-old association with trade to the West End ever-changing theatre scene. • Tavistock Clinic: Influenced by the new psychology coming from Vienna & Zurich, Dr Hugh Crichton-Miller, a neurologist, developed pioneering psychotherapeutic ways of treating shell-shocked and neurotic soldiers. He became convinced of the need to establish a clinic providing similar services to civilians of limited means, and the Tavistock Clinic was born in 1920.
