FAMILY-CENTRED CARE “a way of caring for children and their families within health services which ensures that care is planned around the whole family, not just the individual child/person, and in which all the family members are recognised as care recipients” (Shields et al. 2006, p. 1318).

Uniacke, Kayali-Browne & Shields, 2018 “To recognize and embrace the whole family when planning the child’s care is different from recognizing and embracing the whole family as a care recipient.” “The crucial difference is between, on the one hand, placing a child’s family at the centre of that child’s care, and on the other hand, regarding the child and his or her family as care recipients.”, p6). “… the family unit interpretation … a child’s illness can and often does negatively affect the interests of other family members or the whole family” (p7) Once care of the whole family becomes the goal of FCC, then FCC can persist in cases in which [it] … does not best promote the hospitalized child’s welfare (p8) 2 problems: 1. what is good for the family may not be good for the child, (and vice versa), 2. the child’s voice is not necessarily considered.

  • The Experiences of Parents and Nurses Caring for A
    ‘CAN MUMMY COME TOO?’ RHETORIC AND REALITIES OF ‘FAMILY-CENTRED CARE’ IN ONE NEW ZEALAND HOSPITAL, 1960-1990. by Kim Therese Chenery A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Applied) in Nursing Victoria University of Wellington 2001 ABSTRACT: The development of ‘family-centred care’ began in the United Kingdom during the 1950s and 1960s in response to ‘expert’ concern for the child as an ‘emotional’ being. John Bowlby’s maternal deprivation thesis suggested that constant maternal attention in the early years of life would ensure emotionally healthy future members of society. Application of this theory to the hospital children’s ward indicated that young children should not be without their mothers for long periods of time. This theory and the subsequent release of the Platt Report in the United Kingdom in 1959 provided the necessary ‘scientific’ justification allowing mothers greater access to the historically restrictive hospital children’s wards. Influenced by trends in the United Kingdom the tenets of the separation thesis were reflected in New Zealand government policy towards child care and the care of the hospitalised child. However, the wider societal context in which these changes were to be accepted in New Zealand hospital children’s wards has not been examined. This study explores the development of ‘family- centred care’ in New Zealand as part of an international movement advanced by ‘experts’ in the 1950s concerned with the psychological effects of mother- child separation. It positions the development of ‘family-centred care’ within the broader context of ideas and beliefs about mothering and children that emerged in New Zealand society between 1960 and 1980 as a response to these new concerns for children’s emotional health.

(p. vi) What Peter Cook has to say in this most thoughtful volume will not prove widely popular and certainly not politically correct. But that is not to say that he is mistaken or even misguided. Unlike many, Peter Cook acknowledges, even heralds, evidence that underscores the fact that for many infants and women life does not provide what they want—and perhaps even what nature planned for them. Not all will agree with Peter Cook’s analysis, but that is not a reason to ignore it.

  • The Telling Story of Video in Attachment-Based Interventions Femmie Juffer3* and Miriam Steeleb
    Attachment & Human Development, 2014 i Routledge Vol. 16, No. 4, 307-314, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14616734.2014.912484 Taylor & Frandi Group INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE What words cannot say: the telling story of video in attachment-based interventions Femmie Juffer3* and Miriam Steeleb “Centre fo r Child and Family Studies, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands; bDepartment o f Psychology, New School for Social Research, New York, USA {Received 3 February 2014; accepted 24 February 2014) In this Introduction to the Special Issue The Use o f Video in Attachment-Based Interventions, we describe how film and video made their entry in attachment theory and research and ultimately in attachment-based interventions. The role of film in helping to understand attachment had its roots several decades ago with the Robertsons’ footage as a memorable example, while the role of video in helping to support attachment in the context of intervention started later but quickly increased with the rapid growth of smaller video cameras. Today the use of video and video feedback in attachment-based interventions is common, with applications in home- visiting programs, clinical treatment and therapy, and training modalities for parent coaches. In this Special Issue we highlight current work in this field, including illustrative case studies, clinical descriptions and process evaluations as well as rigorous randomized controlled trials. Keywords: attachment-based interventions; filmed observations; video; video feedback; speaking-for-the-child technique In this Introduction to the Special Issue The Use o f Video in Attachment-Based Interventions, we describe how film and video made their entry in attachment theory and research and ultimately in attachment-based interventions.

  • Sick Children and Their Parents
    Mary Lindsay MB FRCP FRCPsych FRCPCH(Hon) Born in Belfast in 1926, brought up in England, qualified Queens University Belfast in 1951. After several house jobs, did paediatrics at Hammersmith Hospital and was sent by Archie Norman to work under Dermod MacCarthy at Aylesbury and Amersham. He had been having mothers of young children coming in to Amersham Hospital for about a year when I arrived there in 1954 at the instigation of his ward sister Ivy Morris who had been a nanny before qualifying as a nurse at E G A Hospital. James Robertson from the Tavistock Clinic followed up his film A Two Year Old Goes to Hospital with Going to Hospital With Mother at Amersham. It is partly due to the influence of those two films and talking to Robertson and MacCarthy, who were supported by Wilfred Sheldon, that Platt was able to make a recommendation that mothers come into hospital with their young children. After five years of paediatrics, did three years in General Practice, three years in Adult Psychiatry, and one year in Child Psychiatry. I was appointed Consultant Child Psychiatrist in 1966 at Aylesbury, retiring from there in 1991. I then did about fifteen years as an expert witness in the Family Division of the Courts. I have recently felt I have a responsibility to use my own experience to reflect on the contact that children have had with their parents when they were sick, at home and in hospital, which is why I wrote what you are about to read, but have no idea what to do with it.
