Living Learning Experiences: Residential Courses in Therapeutic Childcare

The Mulberry Bush Training

TWO RESIDENTIAL COURSES IN THERAPEUTIC CHILDCARE

Managing a Living Learning Experience

- A residential course for managers and senior workers -

Creating a Living Learning Experience

- A residential course for care workers -

THROUGH 2010

Background

These two courses aim to introduce the principles of working in therapeutic childcare management and
practice. Both courses rely on understanding disordered attachment and early childhood damage to make
sense of distressed behaviour in children and young people and its impact on staff. Participants will be
encouraged to make use of their own feeling responses as a tool for staff management, treatment and
nurturing care. The relevance of approaches based on social pedagogy will also be explored.

Managing A Living Learning Experience: Course for Managers and Senior Workers

Having an understanding of the emotional impact on workers will aid managers and senior workers to
encourage a more resilient and effective staff team able to work alongside children and young people with more
confidence and less stress.

Creating A Living Learning Experience: Course for Care Workers

Workers will discover that seeking to understand behaviour through their own emotional responses will give
them the tools to work alongside children and young people with more confidence and less stress.

Working Method

The working method will reflect daily practice in therapeutic communities by using psychodynamic and
group-analytic approaches for understanding behaviour. It will offer a programme of practice discussions and
reflective workshops as well as facilitated self-experience reflective groups. In all these sessions participants
will have the opportunity to make connections between their personal life experiences, their practice
experience and theoretical learning. Each workshop builds on the previous one, each course is to be
embarked on as a whole.

Who these courses are for

One course is for Managers and Senior Workers, the other for Care Workers. Both will be of benefit to
people who would like to develop their capacity to work with their own feeling responses with an interest
and/or experience in working with emotionally troubled children and young people in any setting. They are
likely to come from fields such as residential or day-care, specialist social work (adoption, fostering,
disability), mental health, or education. Groups will be about 14 participants. We can accept a maximum of 2
bookings from any work organisation for each course.

"Psychoanalytic Methodology in Clinical and Non-Clinical Settings"

In the photograph above, Planned Environment Therapy Trust Trustee Dr. R.D. Hinshelwood shares a moment with Sigmund Freud, a gift from friends and colleagues to mark his retirement. It was presented at the end of "Psychoanalytic Methodology in Clinical and Non-Clinical Settings", a conference organised by the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies and the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex on Friday, November 14, to celebrate his career and the immense contribution he has made to the practice, theory, history, and understanding of psychoanalysis and group dynamics.

The Forgotten Children - David Hill

"Here for the first time, is the story of the Fairbridge children, from the bizarre luxury of the voyage out to Australia to the harsh reality of the first days there, from the physical and sexual abuse and inedible food to the loneliness and appalling standard of education. This acclaimed book is a remarkable tribute to the children who were betrayed by an ideal that went terribly awry."

(Accessioned by Rachael Thompson)

[Craig's comment: Why have we acquired this book? "The Unloved" was filmed in, and based on, Red Hill School - called "Red Mill School" in the play. The head was based on Otto Shaw. So, an extraordinary moment in the history of therapeutic community and its dance with the media]

Accession 2009-027

Next, there is a collection from Nick Jones, son of Howard Jones a British Sociologist (pictured).

The collections consists of newspaper clippings containing reference to Howard Jones, below is one I particularly liked as it shows he could accept criticism as well as acclaim.

There are also three books, The Informed Conscience:In Search of Social Welfare - 30^th April 1971, Crime Race and Culture: A Study in a Developing Country – 1981 and Social Welfare in Third World Development – 1990.

Finally, a selection of ten photos and an album entitled 'Snaps from schools for maladjusted children at which he had worked'.

This rather sweet picture was taken and developed by a young lad who had spent 10 years in hospital.

Possibly Howard's dog, possibly called Scruff and a member of the staff!

. . . and so below is the staff photo.
