From a first experiment of putting his patients together in a small group
whilst working in Exeter just before World War 2, Dr S. H. Foulkes,  working as an army psychiatrist during the war perfected a method of Group-Analysis. This became a major foundation of psychotherapy practice in the British NHS.

In addition to working as a consultant at the Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, London SE5 Foulkes established his own practice in Great Portland Street. This is essentially the parent practice of today's Group-Analytic Practice where we continue to offer, group-analytic psychotherapy, individual psychotherapy, family and couple therapy and psychodynamically informed psychiatry.
