Abstract

The Portman Clinic has its roots in what was first called the Psychopathic Clinic, founded in 1931, and renamed the Institute for the Scientific Treatment of Delinquency (I.S.T.D.) in 1932. The I.S.T.D. accepted referrals of patients of all ages, the majority of whom were adults, but quite a number of children and adolescents were seen from the start. In the 1950s–1960s, there was Herta Graz and William Paterson Brown, both of whom were long-standing members of staff and saw a huge number of young people at the Clinic, and Henry Dugmore Hunter who later set up the adolescent unit at the Tavistock Clinic. Children and adolescents enact their difficulties because they did not get what they needed when they needed it.
