{{short description|Psychiatric social worker}}

'''Robina Scott Addis,''' (1900-19861900–1986)<ref name=":0" /> was one of the earliest professional psychiatric social workers in Britain.

Addis was not always interested in Social Work. Originally, she read History at the [[University of Oxford]], but after two years she was forced to cut her studies short due to illness. Later, in 1931, Addis decided to go to the [[London School of Economics]] where she became interested in the idea of child guidance which led her to apply for their Mental Health Course. She graduated from this in 1933.<ref name=":1">{{Citation
