Robin Skynner was a pioneer in psychiatric innovation and the treatment of mental illness. His experiences in military service guided him toward this field, where he applied the principles of group analysis to individual, group, family, and marital therapy. A gifted teacher and prolific writer, his work delves into a deeper understanding of human relationships and psychological processes. His approach is distinguished by its integration of group psychotherapy principles into broader therapeutic modalities.
