Do you have information about Victor Meyer at the Middlesex Hospital?

Yes; I have. I was his clinical assistant and his trainnee in the Department of Psychiatry of the Middlesex Hospital. We became good friends. I wish to record here that I had the privilege of directly observing the treatment of Meyer's first OCD case that led to the birth of this novel treatment of Exposure-Prevention. This was in 1966 in the Department of Psychiatry of the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. The patient was a man and not a woman as mentioned by Professor Jack Rachman. He was a pathologist. Vic was a of man of exceptional abilities. In 1966, he was the best trainer of behaviour therapy in the UK. Clinical psychologists came to the Middlesex from Europe and theUS to be trained by him. He was warm, generous and patient with his trainees.
