In the same year that the NHS was created, the Family Discussion Bureau (as Tavistock Relationships was initially called) was formed by social workers from the Family Welfare Association (now Family Action) and psychoanalysts at The Tavistock Clinic who shared an ambition to study and address the dynamics of family life.
Fast forward 70 years and 'Tavistock Relationships' continues to offer innovative and radical psychoanalytically-informed approaches to dealing with the difficulties couples and families face. The organisation will be running a number events over the year, including the creative arts, public lectures and will be hosting a large 70th Anniversary Conference in November.
