Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Dear Ann, Two quick thoughts: 1) What makes it EASY to make closure with some, anxious and anxiety-provoking people ? Clinical audit of behaviour therapy training of nurses. Duggan C, Marks I, s D. Health Trends 1993 25:25-30 shows that learning to set and review clear goals with anxious patients makes for therapuetic alliances that are more likely to finish as complete and timely. 2) The following is a hard and highly contentious point about our current culture of health " care " from Health And Social Change by Graham Scambler (publ. OU, 2002, pages 118-133) that exploits particular gender and power roles: " for all its bold and prima facie radical postulates and 'disinhibiting' effects, postmodern theorizing betrays a deep underlying conservatism. This conservatism rests in its (ultimately self-refuting) eschewal in principle of the possibility of obtaining rationally binding support for any given proposition/ theory/ world-view. " In other words, professionals and their clientele are so scared by the Modernised, Reformed, free-wheeling and constantly shifting environment... that they cling on to past relationships, even if it mean clutching at straws! Good luck with your MSc, Woody.

The question is unrefined at present and I've done a lit search but any advice and any relevant literature refs would be greatly received. > Thankyou > Ann ---------------------- Woody Caan a.w.caan@...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Thanks Woody - am also reading Snow and Willard "I'm Dying to take care of you" on co dependency which is fascinating and may link in to what you are saying I think about the scary pace of change which is causing such huge stress. I am reminded of a passage in Tess of the D'urbervilles whuch describes a threshing machine as an "insatiable swallower" and a "buzzing red glutton" - same metaphor can apply to the NHS!!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Right on, Ann! Only Saturday I was discussing Tess with two colleagues in Cambridge. I just hope we don't all end up at Stonehenge.... Best wishes, Woody.
