	Completing his schooling at Scott’s College in Sydney, he went to the University of Sydney to graduate with a Bachelor of Science (Biology) in 1948, and a Bachelor in Medicine and Surgery in 1955. It being people’s minds that fascinated him most, however, he completed a Diploma in Psychological Medicine in 1959. That same year, he won an overseas scholarship enabling him to meet some of the world’s leading psychiatrists.

	He was appalled to observe the methods used at the time to treat psychiatric disease (especially shock treatment, which he regarded as a crime) and on his return from overseas he established and became the Director of Fraser House at North Ryde Psychiatric Clinic. The centre housed Australia’s first family therapeutic community with accommodation for some 86 adults and children. Yeomans had a revolutionary contextual approach that treated psychiatric disease on a family and community basis instead of treating just the individual. Patients were able to be rehabilitated to return to society rather than being locked away out of sight and restrained with drugs and straight-jackets. Many of his peers did not understand this radical approach to treatment, and Neville was frequently vilified for being out of step with the main stream of things. It is interesting to note that 40 years later, his approach to psychiatric treatment has become the norm rather than the exception.

	Neville Thomas Yeomans established Fraser House in Sydney in 1959. This was Australia’s first family-based centre for alcohol and drug addiction and associated neurosis.
