Foreword Truly revolutionary works that open up new conceptual vistas tend to straddle intellectual worlds. Their originality makes them difficult to locate in the historical context in which they are written, and their pervasive impact makes it difficult to appreciate just how formative they were in generating subsequent developments that have come to take on the quality of great obviousness. John Bowlby was a psychoanalyst; he notes in his original preface that psychoanalysis provided him his first inspiration as well as the only serviceable vocabulary for writing about intense human experiences, trauma and separation. Retrospectively, we might imagine that his work on the powerful emotional bonds between children and their mothers would have been welcomed within the psychoanalytic world. It was not. It was certainly not ignored, however; the persuasiveness of Bowlby's presentation made that impossible. Bowlby's initial work on attachment was given an airing in the most influential psychoanalytic publications of his day and was then attacked by the most prestigious analytic authorities. That he was virtually exiled by the psychoanalytic community was, ultimately, fortuitous. It led to the establishment around Bowlby's work of a research tradition into the nature of emotional attachment, separation and loss that has generated some of the most remarkable, reliable and provocative empirical data of the past fifty years. What was it that got Bowlby into so much trouble? He introduced the project as a working out of the implications of observations of the responses to loss young children. It was Bowlby's commitment to the importance of his observations that was the problem. The psychoanalysis of Bowlby's day was an interpretive system that was almost hermetically sealed. Freud had provided the Rosetta Stone for deciphering the underlying structures of mind, and Melanie Klein had extended his psychic excavations to the deepest recesses. Armed with their decoding devices, psychoanalysts felt they could see beneath the superficial, behavioral levels of human interaction to the underlying instinctual conflicts and fantasies that generated their deeper meanings. Bowlby had been asked by the World Health Organization in 1950 to study and offer advice on the plight of homeless children, real children in the real world. The ravaging impact of maternal deprivations and separations made an enormous impression on -vii- him -- to his surprise. It is a tribute to how much Bowlby's work has changed our consciousness that we must strain to imagine why he would have experienced the magnitude of such an impact as a surprise. In the understanding of mid-twentieth century experts, small children had basic physical needs that required tending; the complex emotional relationships involving a unique sense of interpersonal connection evolved only later. In the conditioning paradigms that dominated American psychology in those days, the caregiver was a "secondary-reinforcer," who became important to the child only by virtue of being associatively linked with physical ministrations. And in the language of the prevailing psychoanalytic theory the mother was, similarly, a "need-gratifying object," whose significance developed gradually through her role in 6 satisfying drive pressures. Separations from mothers shouldn't matter terribly much, as long as the child's needs were taken care of. But separations did matter, Bowlby discovered. Observations of actual children suggested that maternal deprivation was extremely traumatic. Bowlby s position was a little like that of the wife in the old story who discovers her philandering husband in bed with another woman. "Darling" pleads the husband, "who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" Bowlby decided to believe his eyes. Any good psychological theory applied cleverly can account for virtually any data. Surely the instinct theory of Bowlby's day could be stretched to accommodate his observations. But for Bowlby, the center of gravity of the data on trauma in real children in the real world did not match up with the center of gravity of Freud's drive theory, privileging impersonal, body- based needs and fantasies. So, as Bowlby announces in this work, a new instinct theory was required, in which the powerful emotional attachment between child and mother is understood not as derivative of more basic processes but as fundamental in itself. This was no minor addition; it challenged psychoanalytic metapsychology at its core. Bowlby liked to recount experiences formative for him as a student listening to case presentations that emphasized unconscious, instinct-based fantasies at the British Psychoanalytic Society; he remembered one conference at which he felt moved to rise and state emphatically, "But there is such a thing as a bad mother!" Bowlby was not working completely alone; he had conceptual fellow travelers, especially in the Interpersonal Psychiatry of the American Harry Stack Sullivan and the psychoanalytic contributions of other innovators like W. R. D.

His intellectual incisiveness, warmth and breadth of knowledge guided and inspired a great many scientists throughout their careers. Robert was born in Norwich in 1923, the youngest of four children: John and Isobel were born before WWI, and Wendy and Robert afterwards. His father Ernest was a G.P. who served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during WWI while his mother Isabella, a trained nurse, looked after the Norwich practice. From primary schools in Norwich, Robert went to Oundle School in 1935. As soon as he turned seventeen, Robert volunteered for the RAF. After a frustratingly long period of training he was assigned to Coastal Command, where he became a pilot flying Catalina and then Sunderland flying boats. Following his release in January 1946, Robert came up to St. John’s to read Natural Sciences (Zoology) graduating with First Class honours whilst simultaneously being awarded a BSc at the University of London. He spent many hours bird watching on the Cambridge Sewage Farm, where he identified a breeding pair of Moustached Warblers, not seen in the UK before or since.

  • 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.

Someone who is not at all distant from me in our circle, nevertheless let me see the other day his surprise at the fact that I chose this subject which did not seem to him to be something that had all that much to offer. I must say that I will have no trouble in proving the contrary to him. In the mass of questions that are proposed to us on this subject, I will have to make very severe choices. That is why I will try from today to throw you into the work. But already this question seemed to me to preserve the trace of some naivety or other which has never been checked because it seemed to indicate a belief that it is by choice that each year I pick on a subject, like that, which appears interesting to me to continue on some sort of idle chatter. No. As you will see, I think, anxiety is very precisely the meeting point where you will find waiting everything that was involved in my previous discourse and where, together, there await a certain number of terms which may appear not to have been sufficiently connected up for you up to the present. You will see on this terrain of anxiety how, by being more closely knotted together, each one will take its place still better.

  • The 67Th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy on Behalf of the Executive Committee, Frank Delucia, Anne B
    Welcome to the 67th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy On behalf of the Executive Committee, Frank DeLucia, Anne B. McCoy, and myself, I extend a heartfelt welcome to all the attendees to the 67th Symposium and welcome you to The Ohio State University and Columbus. The Symposium presents research in fundamental molecular spectroscopy and a wide variety of related fields and applications. The continued vitality and significance of spectroscopy is annually re-affirmed by the number of talks, their variety, and the fact that many are given by students. These presentations are the heart of the meeting and are documented by this Abstract Book. Equally important is the information flowing from informal exchanges and discussions. As organizers, we strive to provide an environment that facilitates both kinds of interactions. The essence of the meeting lies in the scientific discussions and your personal experi- ences this week independent of the number of times that you have attended this meeting. It is our sincere hope that you will find this meeting informative and enjoyable both scientifically and personally, whether it is your first or 50th meeting. If we can help to enhance your experience, please do not hesitate to ask the Symposium staff or the Executive Committee. Terry A.

  • August 17, 2012 Dear Dr. Geschwind, Dr. Lloyd, and Members of The
    August 17, 2012 Dear Dr. Geschwind, Dr. Lloyd, and Members of the Working Group, In advance of the Working Group on the Use of Chimpanzees in NIH Supported Research’s September 5th meeting, NEAVS would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a list of over 835 members of the scientific, academic and health professional communities who support ending the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research and testing, and retiring the chimpanzees. This petition, combined with evidence published in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrates that the use of chimpanzees in research is not widely accepted in the scientific community, and chimpanzee research is unnecessary for human scientific and medical progress. There are compelling reasons to immediately retire chimpanzees being held for biomedical research and testing. Of the approximate 937 chimpanzees in U.S. labs, only about 10-20% are in active research protocols. Their use has decreased dramatically and is at an historic low. A citation analysis found that greater than 85% of chimpanzee studies are not cited or not cited with any relevance to human medicine. The remaining 15% had contributed little, if anything, to the outcome of studies reporting an advance in human clinical practice. The contributors to those studies’ findings were a wide array of in vitro research methods, human clinical and epidemiological investigations, molecular assays and methods, genomic studies, etc. These alternatives and others confirm research involving chimpanzees does not meet the IOM guiding principle that it be necessary to advance the public’s health. There are extensive and fundamental genetic reasons why chimpanzees, however closely related, are not and can never be good models for human research.
