Scope and content
This series comprises reports, notes, correspondence and papers relating to Alexis Brook's work on a project to study the psychological aspects of disorders of the eye. Brook was invited to undertake this project in 1991 by the Council of the British Psychoanalytical Society. This request was based on their knowledge of his similar work on disorders of the gut. It was funded by the Inman Trust which had been established by a bequest from Dr Olive Inman to further her late husband William S Inman's pioneering work in this field.
Brook worked first at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth and then at a private practice in Hackney.
