letter from her husband in February 1947 praising her contribution to an unspecified broadcast. 46 More definitively, on 6 February 1948 Dolto appeared on La Tribune de Paris , a national radio programme, as a participant in a debate on ‘the resurgence of juvenile delinquency’. Dolto was introduced simply as a doctor, appearing alongside the children’s author Paul Faucher (famous for the popular book series Albums du père Castor ) and a scout leader. She spoke on La Tribune de Paris again in December 1949, advising
which Rose’s – Dolto’s – approach to psychology appears as a particularly ‘French’ – which in the context of the films, also means outdated and provincial – way of thinking, out of sync with modern cosmopolitan life. Even in the 1980s, at the height of her fame, Dolto was beginning to appear out of touch with the modern world. Her 1983 trip to a psychiatry conference in Fort-de-France, Martinique, proved ‘disconcerting’ to her. 3 Most of the conference participants took an ethno-psychiatric perspective, analysing the
case at a two-day workshop on child psychosis ( l’enfance aliénée ) at the EFP in October 1967. Organised by Mannoni with a number of participants from the world of antipsychiatry/radical psychiatry – including Guattari, Jean and Fernand Oury, Tosquelles, Laing and Cooper – the event was intended as a dialogue between the structuralist approach of the Lacanian group and the ‘existential’ framework of the English attendees. 89 The proceedings were edited by Guattari and published in Recherches , a journal he had created in
This last comment was a reference to Ménie Grégoire (1919–2014), a journalist and writer whose show Allô Ménie ran on RTL (which broadcast only in the northern half of France) from 1967 to 1981. 42 On the programme, which went out daily from 3.00 p.m. to 3.30 p.m., Grégoire responded to listeners’ personal problems and dilemmas. Potential participants sent in letters which were screened by the production team, and those selected would then speak to Grégoire (who was not told their content in advance) by phone during the
setting up and working within casualty clearing stations and field hospitals are reported with a minimum of detail. There are some descriptions of the multiple trauma and gross disfiguration that can follow bomb blast injuries, shrapnel wounds or close combat. The ways that nurses delivered care in civilian hospitals has been largely overlooked by historians of wartime nursing.13 This chapter outlines the memories of nurses in relation to wound care in civilian hospitals collected to examine nursing work before the availability of antibiotics. Participants commented on
This chapter explores, from a senior participant observer perspective, the emergence of recent policy in infection control in Scotland, and the ways in which this differs in England. With specific reference to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), it considers the reasons why policy and implementation can lag behind knowledge about infection control. It begins with an account from Scotland in 2002 which traces the following fifteen years during which infection control became a priority area for government
turn, found themselves struggling with waves of seriously ill patients. 81 Industrial war This chapter focuses on the hitherto unexplored work of those allied nurses who were based in CCSs and base hospitals on the Western Front, and casts light on the hidden nature of nursing work. It also explores the idea that working with the victims of poison gas permitted nurses to identify themselves as significant participants in the allied war effort. Alongside their medical colleagues, nurses were able to implement life-saving, emergency interventions. But they were also
This chapter focuses on infection prevention and control (IPC) towards the end of the twentieth century. Like Alistair Leanord’s contribution to this volume, it offers a senior participant observer account of the shifting nature of infection control policies, though it focuses on England rather than Scotland. It considers how past events might influence current and future policy, especially with regard to the role of IPC in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Thus, it begins with a consideration of MRSA in the late 1990s into the early 2000s
1 Lady amateurs and gentleman professionals: emergency nursing in the Indian Mutiny Sam Goodman The events that took place in central India during the summer of 1857 have gone by many names over the last 150 years. Historians of colonial India have variously referred to the disorder of that year as the Sepoy Rebellion, the First War of Independence and, perhaps more familiarly, the Indian Mutiny, often reflecting the partisan positions of the original participants.1 Despite the discrepancy over what to call it, most historians agree that the initial uprising
institutional power through interviews and participant observation. In doing so, it shows how clinics structure a financially incentivised donor market targeted at low-income women while also strategically distancing themselves from these networks of women. This neglect from the clinic – the most resourced institutional actor in the egg donation exchange – has severe consequences on the wellbeing and safety of donors, which in turn compromises their ownership over their bodily labour. The findings are organised into three sections: (i) the clinic's role in structuring the
