| AdminHistory | Dr William Inman (1875-1968) was born in Yorkshire in 1875. A Sheffield student Inman spent 4 years at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital before heading off to Portsmouth in 1904. In 1907 Inman was appointed opthalmic surgeon to the Portsmouth & Southern Counties Eye and Ear Hospital.
In 1918-1919 he met Dr.Millais Culpin who introduced him to Freud's theory of unconscious processes in human and health and disease. From then on Inman applied theses ideas in his School Clinics, Hospital and private practice, and published his findings from 1919 to 1924. In 1925 Inman spent a year training with Dr.Ferenczi in psycho-analysis in Budapest and in the same year he was elected Associate Member of the Psycho-analytic Society. From 1904 to 1924 Inman combined his role of opthalmic surgeon with his role of practising psycho-analyist. In 1944 he retired from his hospital appointment but still pursued his psychosomatic research work in the Out-Patient Department which he continued weekly until his death in 1968.
In 1968 a bequest was left by Inman to the British Psychological Society, to provide an annual "William Inman Prize" for the best original work on Psychosomatic Opthalmology published in the British Journal of Medical Psychology, or in any other journal approved by the Society. |
