SYNOPSIS
Humanistic roots and beginnings 40 years ago in this country are the topics on which I have been invited to write. To me the 1970s are not long ago. And they are at the same time obscured in some dust-filled attic of my mind. Dates may be smudged. I shall offer this account as a very subjective impression of what now seems something of a hiccup in the po-faced history of British emotionality in the twentieth century. it was also a time of so many innovations, which i can best describe by way of my own experience through those years.
