Dr Patrick De Mare was one of Foulkes' earliest collaborators, having worked with him at Northfield Hospital during the war, and joining with him at his practice at 22 Upper Wimpole Street in 1951. They created the Group Analytic Society in 1952, and in 1960 with other colleagues moved to 66 Montagu Mansions where the Group-Analytic Practice was created. The Practice moved from 66 to number 88 in 1966 because of the need for a larger number of rooms and greater space. Pat continued to work at the GAP until 1987 shortly after his 70 th birthday. He devoted his skills to the practice of group psychotherapy, starting in the traditional small group psychotherapeutic setting, but progressing towards the experience and application of large groups, and later still developing his main interest of the median group.
After qualifying in psychoanalysis in 1971, Colin James was appointed Consultant Psychotherapist at the London Hospital. This was followed by an appointment at the Maudsley Hospital. Soon after he became a member of GAP and a long-standing member of the Group Analytic Society Committee. In 1983 he was appointed Consultant psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic. He left the Practice in 1991 in order to take up position as Consultant Psychotherapist at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge.
Following war service as a pilot in the Royal Air Force, Robin Skynner undertook medical training at University College Hospital and training in Adult and Child Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry and the Maudsley Hospital. He subsequently worked with adults and children of an unusually wide range of socio-economic status, from private practice to the poorest districts of the East End of London. His chief interest was the practice and teaching of psychotherapy, with individuals, groups, families, couples and institutions. He had formerly been the Director of the Woodberry Down Child Guidance Unit, Physician-in Charge of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for children, Senior Tutor in Psychotherapy at the Institute of Psychiatry and Honorary Associate Consultant at the Maudsley Hospital. He was a founder of the Group-Analytic Practice and of the Institute of Group Analysis, and a founder and first Chairman of the Institute of Family Therapy, London.
Qualified in Medicine and trained in psychoanalysis under S.H. Foulkes at the Maudsley Hospital. This was followed by several years working at the Cassel Hospital as a Consultant. He was Senior Lecturer in Psychotherapy at St George's Hospital, practicing a modified form of dynamic administration and therapy, trying out large group techniques. Further consultant posts at the Maudsley Hospital and the Tavistock Clinic followed. He is a founder of the International Library of Group Psychotherapy and Group Process and an editor of the journal Group-Analysis.
Qualified in Medicine in 1951. He came into psychiatry after research on psychosomatic aspects of skin disorders at Cornell University. He was a Lecturer in Psychiatry in Leeds before coming to London in 1963 to embark on his own analysis and psychoanalytic training. He qualified in 1970 after completing research on psychiatric treatment of eczema at the Middlesex Hospital and spending three years at the Cassel Hospital where he took his first group. He was appointed as a consultant psychotherapist at St George's Hospital in 1969 before moving to St Mary's Hospital in 1974 where he continued until retiring from the NHS in 1987. He joined the Group-Analytic Practice in 1972 as an Associate, becoming a Member in 1975. He sat in with S.H. Foulkes at his theoretical seminars for the Institute of Group-Analysis in 1975-76, and, following his death that year, took these over.
