[ Read More → ]Meeting children’s emotional needs, 1969.
This paper was read to a large Home Office group during a course at Nottingham University in 1969. It brings together a lot of learning experience in a way which led me to further realisation. I remember my pleasure and surprise when I met so much sympathy and understanding in my audience (which included senior staff from approved schools). The discussion which followed was of value to me, and the next paper, ‘Syndrome’, presented during the same course also led to useful communication.

[ Read More → ]Emotionally deprived parents, 1969.
I have always of necessity and of choice worked with the parents of disturbed children. This particular paper was written for a course run by Chris Holtom at Bristol University for child care officers, probation officers, and others. My audience gave many interesting examples of experiences with deprived parents.

[ Read More → ]The Management of Violence.
This paper was read late in 1970 as my contribution to a seminar on violence run by the Department of Health and Social Security. The material at the end of the paper was an experiment for use in discussion groups, and was sufficiently successful for
me to wish to repeat the technique.
