Extract

In 1961, in collaboration with Dr D. Lindsay Walker, who supplied much information concerning the Association's birthplace, the Gloucester Asylum, I published in the Journal (1961) a detailed account of the origins of the Medico-Psychological Association, or rather of the ‘Association of Medical Officers of Asylums and Hospitals for the Insane’, as it was called for the first 24 years of its existence. This account ended with the 1854 Annual Meeting, the first to be reported in the Association's Journal. I now propose to cover a further instalment of its history.
