Flying through an ethereal letterbox near you : issue 10 of the goodenoughcaring Journal lands on December 15th

The new issue of the goodenoughcaring Journal goes online in mid-December. In our last issue John Stein wrote about the influence of mothers and so one of the themes of this next issue is the relatively less explored territory of fatherhood and aspects of this are examined in a poem by Jan Noble and in articles by Joyce Carol Oates, Alex Russon, Mark Smith and John Stein. Marion Bennathan writes about nurture groups in schools and Cynthia Cross recollects the nature of residential child care in the 1960s and compares it with current practice. Jeremy Millar makes a personal assessment of the work and thoughts of Chris Beedell while Moira Strachan discusses the relevance of a child observation placement toward her development as a social care worker. Noel Howard has written a moving review of Danny Ellis' CD 800 Voices : the heartache and the healing. John Molloy provides a review of Richard Webster's book The Secret of Bryn Estyn Bob Forrest has provided us with part two of The Kerelaw Papers and Pat Petrie writes about the Sing Up for Looked After Children project. News of further articles will appear here within the next few days.
