Cleveland 20 years on: themes of disruption and repair in the trauma narratives of children,adults and society

This is the second of two linked papers which explores coherent and incoherent narratives emerging from Cleveland. It draws a parallel between the disrupted narratives of child and adult survivors of child sexual abuse and professional and societal narratives of Cleveland. The paper looks at the therapeutic task of individual repair using attachment‐based therapy, illustrated by clinical examples. It identifies five key challenges relevant to repair in the interpersonal, intra‐personal and societal domains. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Intergenerational Life Courses of Teenage Pregnancy in Ogbomosho South‐Western Nigeria

Concern that the teenage pregnancy rate in an urban community in Southwest Nigeria has doubled within the last decade prompted an intergenerational survey of a sample of 277 respondents (163 pregnant teenagers, 91 teen parents and 23 adult parents who were once teen parents) selected through snowballing and then interviewed in four group discussions in Ogbomosho, Nigeria. Findings revealed that 43.5 per cent of the female and 48.5 per cent of the male teenagers informed their parents first when they became pregnant or made someone pregnant respectively. They also showed that lack of knowledge about puberty (21.3%) was a major factor that influenced teenage pregnancy. The majority (53.4%) of the respondents believed that their parents perceived teenage pregnancy as God's blessing, while it was perceived as sign of poverty by their school teachers (36.5%). Blame for unwanted pregnancy was put on the girls by 49.5 per cent of the respondents. Focused educational enlightenment for teenagers on sexual reproductive health is needed for reshaping teenagers' risky behaviours. This is in line with 25.6 per cent of the respondents who felt that community youth forum on sex education could reduce teenage pregnancy.     

深化国企改革 促进人的解放

从经济学和社会发展角度分析,改革的目的不仅仅是为了解放生产力和发展生产力,更在于人的解放。传统的计划经济体制中最核心的关系是国有企业中的依附关系,改革20多年来,中国社会最根本的变化是削弱了公民的依附关系。     

黄帝孕育神话的生成根据及文化意蕴——兼论哲学理念对神话创造的制约

有关黄帝孕育的神话产生于汉代,黄帝被说成是雷神之子。这个神话的产生,与黄帝发明制造车辆密切相关,是由车声联想到雷声。把黄帝说成雷神之子,导致黄帝发祥地的空间挪移,由西方变为东方,起制导作用的是八卦与八方相配的理念,其中又渗入五行观念。黄帝孕育神话生成于汉代,同时出现的类似神话还涉及到太昊伏羲氏、汉高祖刘邦。这类神话所体现的哲学理念、思维方式,具有鲜明的民族特色。黄帝孕育神话是奇异的,同时也与先前生成的黄帝神话发生了一些无法调和的矛盾。     

近代日本侵略亚洲国家思想探源——-以福泽谕吉及其“脱亚入欧”思想为中心

“脱亚入欧”思想产生于19世纪后半叶的日本,福泽谕吉是其主要代表人物。他全盘接受了近代西方的“文明史观”及“欧洲中心论”,形成了“文明=欧美”、“野蛮=亚洲”以及“脱儒=脱亚”的思维模式,为“脱亚入欧”思想提供了理论基础。福泽谕吉于1885年发表的《脱亚论》不仅标志着“脱亚入欧”思想的正式出台,而且把这种思想推向了对外侵略的方向,在客观上对甲午战争的爆发发挥了舆论先导的作用。探讨和分析福泽谕吉形成“脱亚入欧”思想的认识根源、逻辑前提以及《脱亚论》发表的影响等问题,将有助于认识近代日本多次对亚洲国家发动侵略战争的思想渊源。     

A Family Therapist's Look Into Interpersonal Neurobiology and the Adolescent Brain: An Interview With Dr Daniel Siegel

Advances in brain research are increasingly having an impact on clinical interventions in all fields of psychotherapy. For adolescent family therapists it is important not only to understand the developing adolescent brain, but also how brain research can influence interventions aimed at interrupting problematic familial interactions. Interpersonal neurobiology and the ideas of Dr Daniel Siegel synthesise the interpersonal with the scientific, offering practical clinical methods of incorporating the research into everyday practice. This article incorporates a verbatim interview with Dr Siegel about the adolescent brain, interpersonal neurobiology and attachment with an outline of key concepts from interpersonal neurobiology including the hand model of the brain, nine functions of the prefrontal cortex, the triangle of wellbeing and eight domains of integration. Clinical applications are suggested using a common presenting problem of escalating conflict between teenagers and their parents.     

Measuring Infant‐Mother Attachment: Is the Strange Situation Enough?

The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of a new procedure for assessing infant-mother attachment. Sixty children (34 in child care) and their mothers were seen in the Strange Situation (SS) at 17 months and in a new attachment assessment, the California Attachment Procedure (CAP), which does not involve mother-child separations, at 18 months. Overall, children were more likely to be classified as secure in the CAP (83% vs. 67%), but this was particularly true for children with experience in routine nonmaternal care. Of the children in nonmaternal care who were insecure in the SS, 91% were secure in the CAP, whereas of the maternal-care children who were insecure in the SS, only 44% were secure in the CAP. Attachment security in the CAP was more highly correlated with observed maternal sensitivity than was attachment security in the SS, particularly for children in nonmaternal care.     

Being there: a family centre worker's role as a secure base for adolescent girls in crisis

Childcare social work practice with troubled adolescent girls can benefit from drawing on attachment theory, not only as a frame-work for understanding their relationship history and current behaviour but also as a framework for defining the nature and potential value of a specific kind of relationship provided by the social worker. This paper offers an analysis of the relevance of attachment theory for work with adolescent girls, particularly models of secure and insecure attachments, and examines practice experience in a family centre setting. The young women referred to the family centre had experienced a range of adversities, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse, which had seriously affected their development. They were drifting outside the systems of family, education and local authority care, because none of these could hold onto them. The paper describes how the social worker aimed to change their internal working model by offering them a different kind of relationship experience. She provided a secure base from which they could begin to develop trust, to repair their self-esteem and to build a sense of self-efficacy – the necessary ingredients for resilience and for more successful future relationships.     

中国小说理论与批评的哲性因子

“依经论文”、“依道论文”在中国古代小说评论中是一个重要的角度和原则,这些论述都在强调小说的思想性即哲性因子。那么,这是否就意味着中国古代文化人对小说就不采取“依史论文”的视角和原则呢?当然不是。余虹先生以及持相同见解的先生的观点是有大量史料为基础的,我们之所以特别突出地强调中国古代小说理论与批评中的哲性因子,是意在与余虹先生的见解构成互补,以防止偏误和片面的认识。
