Dissociative Identities in Childhood: An Exploration of the Relationship between Adopting these Identities and Painful States of mind in Three Young People. Are there Implication for Psychoanalytic Technique?
Children who have experienced early relational trauma in the realms of neglect and abuse may go on to develop a range of dissociative states of being as a consequence or as a defence. Child psychotherapists are frequently referred children struggling with such a legacy, yet for historical reasons dissociation is notably absent from the psychoanalytic literature and not a formal part of our professional training. This thesis aims to illuminate how dissociative children may present in psychotherapy sessions and to assess whether there are indications that traditional psychoanalytic child psychotherapy technique may need adjusting if treatment is to be most effective. Current theory regarding the aetiology of dissociative pathology is presented including the significant contributions from attachment and neuroscience research, and the slender view offered by psychoanalytic theory is elucidated. Case histories of two of the three participant children are presented with specific reference to attachment and trauma. Process recording notes from the psychotherapy of all three dissociative children are subjected to thematic analysis to arrive at two sets of patient and therapist related themes which are then recursively discussed in fine detail to determine what evidence the material provides. The conclusion is drawn that whilst dissociative children present with some distinct difficulties, these do not dominate the therapeutic endeavour and are largely similar to the presentation of traumatised and attachment disordered patients with whom child psychotherapists are very familiar. Furthermore it is suggested that whilst child psychotherapists treating dissociative children should consider psychoeducuative, organising and validating interventions, their core psychoanalytic skills of withstanding and analysing hostile and perverse transference material, together with their experience in creatively bringing all parts of the self to the child‟s conscious awareness are central to helping dissociative children recover
Are the Health of the Nation's targets attainable? Postal survey of general practitioners' views

Dissociative identities in childhood: An exploration of how children with dissociative identities may present in psychotherapy. Are there implications for psychoanalytic technique?
Children who have experienced early
relational
trauma
in
the
realms
of
neglect
and
abuse
may
go
on
to
develop
a
range
of
dissociative
states
of
being
as
a

or
as
a
defence.
Child
psychotherapists
are
frequently
referred
children
struggling
with
such
a

yet
for
historical
reasons
dissociation
is
notably
absent
from
the
psychoanalytic
literature
and
not
a
formal
part
of
our
professional
training.
This
thesis
aims
to
illuminate
how
dissociative
children
may
present
in
psychotherapy
session
s
and
to
assess
whether
there
are
indications
that
traditional
psychoanalytic
child
psychotherapy
technique
may
need
adjusting
if
treatment
is
to
be
most
effective.
Current
theory
regarding
the
aetiology
of
dissociative
pathology
is
presented
including
the
significant
contributions
from
attachment
and
neuroscience
research,
and
the
slender
view
offered
by
psychoanalytic
theory
is
elucidated.
Case
histories
of
two
of
the
three
participant
children
are
presented
with
specific
reference
to
attachment
and
trauma.
Process
recording
notes
from
the
psychotherapy
of
all
three
dissociative
children
are
subjected
to
thematic
analysis
to
arrive
at
two

related
themes
which
are
then
recursively
discussed
in

to
determine
what
evidence
the
material

The
conclusion
is
drawn
that
whilst
dissociative
children
present
with
so
me
distinct
difficulties,
these
do
not
dominate
the
therapeutic
endeavour
and
are
largely
similar
to
the
presentation
of
traumatised
and
attachment
disordered
patients
with
whom
child
psychotherapists
are
very
familiar.
Furthermore
it
is
suggested
that
whilst
child
psychotherapists
treating
dissociative
children
should
consider
psychoeducuative,
organising
and
validating
interventions,
their
core
psychoanalytic
skills
of
withstanding

material,
together

central to helping dissociative children recover
SenseBelt:a belt-worn sensor to support cross-device interaction
Mobile interaction is shifting from a single device to simultaneous interaction with ensembles of devices such as phones, tablets, or watches. Spatially-aware cross-device interaction between mobile devices typically requires a fixed tracking infrastructure, which lim- its mobility. In this paper, we present SenseBelt – a sensing belt that enhances existing mobile interactions and enables low-cost, ad hoc sensing of cross-device gestures and interactions. SenseBelt enables proxemic interactions between people and their personal devices. SenseBelt also supports cross-device interaction be- tween personal devices and stationary devices, such as public displays. We discuss the design and implementation of SenseBelt together with possible applications. With an initial evaluation, we provide insights into the benefits and drawbacks of a belt-worn mediating sensor to support cross-device interactions
Fostering Academic and Social Growth in a Primary Literacy Workshop Classroom: Restorying Students with Negative Reputations
In most classrooms, there are students who have academic, behavioral, and/or interpersonal challenges that can disrupt the classroom community. In some cases, these challenges can build momentum, leading to a negative reputation or “story” that can follow the student throughout school. This academic, yearlong case study focused on Mae Graham, an exemplary teacher, and the cases of two students who began second grade with negative behavioral, emotional, and academic reputations from previous years in school. We describe how Mae “restoried” the students through personalized instruction and attention, classroom structure and curriculum, and social interactions in the classroom. We base restorying on theory and research in social identification, effective teaching, culturally responsive/relevant pedagogy, and the ethic of care
