Learning our lessons. Some issues arising from delivering mental health services in school settings

This paper describes some of the complexity of providing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) input into school settings. Some reference is made to previous writing about psychotherapeutic work with schools, and also to recent government policy changes which are impacting on service delivery. There is discussion of the multiple levels at which interventions need to be conceptualized, and the issues arising when working within systems and organizations that have very different drivers, tasks, aims and cultures. It is argued that, given the complexity of the therapeutic task, clinicians need a high level of experience and robustness, and to be armed with understanding gleaned not just from individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy but also from psychoanalytic thinking about organizations, as well as about therapeutic communities, in order to function effectively. There is discussion of some of the typical institutional defences against anxiety and distress that arise when working with the most complex children and families in schools, and in particular the pressure to locate problems within individuals and to attempt to address such issues on an individual basis while leaving the institutional and systemic issues unaddressed. I suggest that such work demands a complex view of the role of the therapist, which includes taking on a role which has some similarities to working in therapeutic communities. Some vignettes are used to illustrate how one can do effective and useful clinical work with individual children, and with their families when wider systemic issues are taken seriously

Music

The musical ending [of Goethe's Novelle] recalls the fascination with "music as metaphor", "the power of music", among recent and contemporary poets from Pope and Dryden and Collins to E.T.A. Hoffmann and Kleist and, of course to Goethe himself. Music saves Faust's life on Easter morning at the end of a dreadful night, and we'll encounter a similar role of music in his Trilogie der Leidenschaft which we'll read in this context

Containing not blaming

The article presents a reprint of the article "Children and Young People," by Graham Music, which appeared in the June 2009 issue of 'Counselling Children and Young People'. The article was based on the author's experience of delivering therapeutic services in schools in London, England. It described a philosophy of how therapeutic interventions in schools can best be approached

Analytical solution of the tooling/workpiece contact interface shape during a flow forming operation

Flow forming involves complicated tooling/workpiece interactions. Purely analytical models of the tool contact area are difficult to formulate, resulting in numerical approaches that are case-specific. Provided are the details of an analytical model that describes the steady-state tooling/workpiece contact area allowing for easy modification of the dominant geometric variables. The assumptions made in formulating this analytical model are validated with experimental results attained from physical modelling. The analysis procedure can be extended to other rotary forming operations such as metal spinning, shear forming, thread rolling and crankshaft fillet rolling.Comment: 28 pages, 11 figure
