<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
John Cross, for over 60 years an influential figure in the field of planned environment therapy in therapeutic communities for children has died aged 85 at his home in Cheltenham. He retired from his role as Director of the Planned Environment Therapy Trust in 2012. Until the onset of his illness in the autumn of 2015, John continued to be involved in the daily life of PETT at Toddington in Gloucestershire.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In 1952, his early ambition to take up a place at Durham University and to become a politician faded on the completion of his National Service when the direction of his life was altered by a summer placement at Bodenham Manor School where David Wills was the Warden. John decided that what was going on at the school felt right and that shared experience in a therapeutic community would provide the pathway for his life. In the following decades John was engaged in the community life of Bodenham Manor School, Herefordshire, Ashley House Remand Home, Worksop, New Heys Reception Centre, Liverpool and New Barns School, Toddington.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At the same time as he was engaged as a member of the group of children and adults at New Barns John became a psychotherapist, served as a magistrate in the Juvenile Justice System, was the Chairman of the Youth and Family Courts and Vice Chairman of the Gloucestershire Probation Committee.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
John maintained his relationships with those who had been with him and his colleagues at New Barns. Over the years he became a ‘best man’ at their weddings and a godparent at the christening of their children many times over.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
John played an influential role in a number of other organisations. He was a founding member of the Association of Workers with Maladjusted Children (AWMC) which later became the Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties Association (SEBDA) and for over 40 years served on its Council. Prior to his death was John was the only living founding member of PETT. He was a founding member of other groups too including the Charterhouse Group, Young Minds and the Child Care History Network.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Over his career John wrote and presented a number of influential papers about therapeutic communities and planned environment therapy and he co-authored the controversial 1979 Quaker publication Six Quakers Look at Crime and Punishment: A Study Paper.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
John was a Quaker. He was a man modest about his achievements. For him achievement was the shared experience of a community. John is survived by his two sisters Sybil and Cynthia. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by so many of the people with whom he shared experience and a community life.</div>

“Is it not a prime characteristic of adolescents that they do not accept false solutions? They have a fierce morality which accepts only that which feels real, and this is a morality that also characterizes infancy. It is a morality that goes much deeper than wickedness, and has as its motto, ‘to thine own self be true’. The adolescent is engaged in trying to find the self to be true to. This is linked with the fact that, as I have said, the cure for adolescence is the passage of time, a fact which has very little meaning for the adolescent.”</div>

<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘The only reason to go to school, that I can see, is to make friends whom you love and like. If you’re lucky, you find something that really interests you. You’ve got to learn to read and write and basic numeracy and so on, but, other than that, it’s absolutely pointless to teach children things that they’re not interested in. The education system needs to factor that in. I remember one of my daughter’s teachers saying to me, “She only works at the subjects she’s interested in.” I was thinking, Great! That would be the point. You go to school, and teachers offer you the things they think are good, but you choose them. It’s always true that the student chooses the teacher.’</em></div>

Articles submitted or commissioned in the future will continue to be published but regular readers will we relieved to know that after the next one they will know longer have to read the promotional email we send out to you every six months.<br />
This issue is an interesting and informative one, a challenging one, a controversial one and perhaps a disturbing one. We would welcome and encourage your comments on any of the articles.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem;">
In this issue :-<br />
<em><strong>Dr. Elaine Arnold</strong></em> tells of the significance education held for immigrants to the United Kingdom from the Caribbean while <em><strong>Margaret Hughes</strong></em> recollects the City of Birmingham’s efforts to meet the social and educational needs of immigrants from the Indian sub-continent and elsewhere in the 1950s,60s,70s and 80s.<br />
<em><strong>Noel Howard</strong></em> discusses religion, spirituality and the importance of place in social care.<em><strong> Michael J Marlowe</strong></em> considers how relationships may be made with children who are difficult to reach and <em><strong>Maurice Fenton</strong></em> proposes and develops a concept of ‘relationship based self-care.’<br />
<em><strong>Alex Russon </strong></em>reflects on relocating with his young family from the midlands of England to the north-east of Scotland and<em><strong> Justin Frost</strong></em> reviews three feature films which deal with divorce, parenting and family break up.<br />
<em><strong>Cynthia Cross</strong></em> examines the issues which can lead to a cycle of disruption in residential child care. <em><strong>Maurice Fenton</strong></em> proposes and develops the concept of ‘relationship based self-care.’ In a further article he contemplates the notion of ‘vicarious confidence’ in the care of children and young people and<em><strong> Simon Blades</strong></em> reviews Maurice’s latest book ‘The Stolen Child’.<br />
<em><strong>Colin Maginn</strong></em> proposes that we can do better than good enough caring. <b><i>John Stein</i></b> recalls how times have changed in child and youth care. In a second article <em><strong>Elaine Arnold</strong></em> argues that aspects of attachment theory remain significant throughout life.<br />
<em><strong>Mark Smith</strong> </em>has written a startling, challenging and important article on the prosecution of those accused of child sexual abuse.<br />
In his editorial <em><strong>Charles Sharpe</strong> </em>has attempts a brief explanation of what those who founded the Journal believed <em>goodenoughcaring</em> to be and with it he provides a brief history of the <em>goodenoughcaring</em> Journal.</div>

We hope you find something to interest you in this issue. We’d like to thank all the people who have written for us and helped build up this superb archive about children growing up and the adults who care for them and educate them. Each piece of writing is interesting and thought provoking. The archive will remain open for everyone who is interested in the nurturing of children. News items will continue to appear on the home page and occasional articles will be published when they are submitted.<br />
Finally we would like to thank the hundreds of thousands of people who visit and read the Journal. It is good to be part of this community.</div>

This is an extremely brave thing for anybody to be. It does not mean that we grown-ups have to be saying: ‘Look at these dear little adolescents having their adolescence; we must put up with everything and let our windows get broken.’ This is not the point. The point is that we are challenged and we meet the challenge as part of the function of adult living. But we meet the challenge rather than set out to cure what is essentially healthy.<br />
The big threat from the adolescent is the threat to the bit of ourselves that has not really had its adolescence. This bit of ourselves makes us resent these people being able to have their phase of the doldrums and makes us want to find a solution for them. There are hundreds of false solutions. Anything we say or do is wrong. We give support and we are wrong, we withdraw support and that is wrong too. We dare not be ‘understanding’. But in the course of time we find that this adolescent boy and this adolescent girl has come out of the doldrums phase and is now able to begin identifying with society, with parents, and with wider groups, and to do so without feeling threatened with personal extinction.”</div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Extracted from: D.

Jung no doubt generalised this to all relationships between human beings and human groups and as a maxim it seems to ring true. Is it congruent with parent/child relationships or carer/child relationships ? Is love enough ?</div>

In this paper John describes the way in which care homes and the people who live and work in them are subjugated<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and constricted by a social care system run and regulated for the benefit, protection and preservation of an elite of – mostly well-meaning – politicians, bureaucrats, care organisations and in large part for the profits of owners and shareholders.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Though perhaps less well-known than his friend and mentor from the progressive school movement <a data-mce-href="http://www.goodenoughcaring.com/the-journal/a-dominie-loses-his-bairns/" href="http://www.goodenoughcaring.com/the-journal/a-dominie-loses-his-bairns/" style="color: #21759b; outline: none;">A.S. Neill</a>, John Aikenhead, who in 1940 founded Kilquhanity School near Castle Douglas in Scotland was a Scottish educationalist who believed children should be happy at school and encouraged to learn through their own discoveries. He did not believe that learning could be fully achieved by following without question the imperatives of external authorities. He celebrated humanity and its capacity sometimes to achieve things through first getting them wrong and as a consequence of this, then getting them right. Hence the Kilquhanity School motto “Freedom, Equality and Inefficiency” is not tongue in cheek. John Aikenhead, and his wife Morag Aikenhead saw the Kilquhanity School ' experiment in education' through from 1940 until the school closed in 1997 when Aikenhead felt that a natural end had been reached.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In his response to our<a href="http://www.goodenoughcaring.com/the-journal/review-social-care-and-child-welfare-in-ireland-integrating-residential-care-leaving-care-and-after-care/" style="border: 0px; color: #9f9f9f; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> review</a> of Maurice Fenton’s book <i style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Social Care and Child Welfare in Ireland Integrating Residential Care and After Care, </i> John Molloy could also be referring to a matter which is also a critical concern on this side of the Irish Sea. He writes,</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I read your review of Maurice Fenton’s book. The Aftercare scene here [in Ireland] is getting worse not better! I am sure you are familiar with the ever increasing numbers of homeless families here in Ireland. Every month a new record is set. We have long ago surpassed previous record numbers of the 1980’s and 1950’s. There is a massive housing shortage and rents are rising constantly to the point where many cannot afford to pay. Young people leaving residential and foster care have no chance of getting private rented accommodation because landlords will not accept welfare cheques. Some residential centres are being log-jammed because they cannot move over 18’s on. Our kids are on the bottom pile.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Recently we admitted a boy a few months past his 17th birthdate. We have since been told that he will not be eligible for aftercare when he turns 18. When we challenged this we were told of a regulation that states the young person must spend a full year in residential or foster care to be entitled to aftercare. When asked to explain the thinking behind this we were told that if everyone was entitled to aftercare then there would be a rush of young people wanting to be in care! </em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">That comment apparently came from a Government Minister. </em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In the meantime we opeed an aftercare or “transition Housing” project. This is an unsupervised home where 4 over-eighteen year olds live in what is called a “a congregational setting”. The emphasis I am placing is that the model is geared to emphasise peer-support to get around problems of loneliness, support networking etc. Strangely enough I am finding that the young people are resistant to this in some ways leading me to think that they would prefer to live in a more regimented Children’s Home type model. There is no winning!</em></div>

There can be little doubt that more innocent members of Syrian families will be injured, maimed and killed if tomorrow evening, December 2nd, 2015, the United Kingdom parliament votes to extend the RAF’s role in the middle-east by allowing it to join with other countries to bomb ISIL strongholds in Syria. Unfortunately ordinary families, who play no active part in the violence going on there, live in these places. Though there are noble exceptions, we seldom read of, listen to, or view the suffering and loss of these unfortunate people. Their fate does not seem to be an issue which overly troubles our media.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Our reaction to the terrible events in Paris on the night of November 13th, 2015, lets us know how unbearable we find the slaughter of innocents. This may help us begin to imagine the horror Syrians living in their country and those who have fled it have experienced and are still experiencing. Since the start of the civil war 250,000 Syrian citizens have died as a consequence of military/terrorist action. Further British intervention will add to those deaths.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The expansion and escalation of military action may or may not be what people of the United Kingdom want, but we are left to ponder what the worth of a girl’s, a boy’s, a woman’s and a man’s life is. Surely this is the issue Members of Parliament should be weighing up when tomorrow they examine their consciences.</div>

<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">Calling the 1940s through to the 1960s ‘a golden age for child care’ Bob Holman in his book,</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;"> </span><em style="border: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Champions for Children The lives of modern child care pioneers</em><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">, which recounts the lives of Eleanor Rathbone, Marjory Allen, Clare Winnicott, John Stroud, Barbara Kahan, Peter Townsend and Holman himself, the author makes the following observations in his preface :</span></h1>
</header><div class="entry-content" style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Yet from their varied lives, two themes appear in common. First, that central government had to accept responsibility for dealing with child poverty. It was not sufficient to leave it to employers, voluntary agencies or the charity of individuals. Second, that local government should be the provider of high quality service for deprived children. This was not to dismiss the contribution of the voluntary services, but was rather a recognition that only local authorities could ensure a coverage of such services throughout the country. These two themes…appear again and again throughout the book. They are not entirely separate, for the champions perceived that poverty was a major factor in undermining family life.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Some may baulk at the idea of separating out special charismatic champions from the field of support to children and families where so many others have achieved a great deal, but this should not distract us from what might be drawn from Holman’s observations. It seems surprising that during a time when the United Kingdom was struggling to overcome the economic difficulties it faced as a consequence of World War II, it remained able to afford so much more for its impoverished and needy families than it does now when, austerity or not, the United Kingdom is by any measure a significantly wealthier state.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.714285714; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is a cause for concern not only because of the continuing cuts to the supportive services provided by local authorities and the voluntary sector for the increasing number of children and families from our communities who need our help but also because, as a part of the overall programme of cuts, these services are being farmed out with government encouragement to large private organisations to run on the cheap in order that they can make profit for themselves and their shareholders out of the poverty of others.</div>

For some years now Cognitive Behavioural Therapies have successfully held the therapy field persuading governments and health authorities with claims that unlike other therapies, for instance, humanist or psychodynamic, the efficacy of CBT is based on scientifically observed evidence. While CBT may be helpful for some seeking help with anxiety, the claim that it is the panacea for all, including those who are suffering from severe anxieties, fears and other emotional stresses, surely deserves closer scrutiny. Increasingly others are questioning the truth that CBT is evidence-based. However CBT has powerful political and economic allies attracted by the various claims made that it is scripted and time-limited and provides a one size fits all therapy.</div>

Last November (2014), Limbus, an organisation which arranges Continued Professional Development events for counsellors and psychotherapists in the south-west England held a national conference, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Challenging the Cognitive Behavioural Therapies : The Overselling of CBT’s Evidence Base, </em> at the Dartington Hall near Totnes in Devon which sought to challenge the evidence provided to substantiate the claims made for CBT. The organiser of the conference, Farhad Dalal has provided us with the following links to presentations made at the Dartington Conference and to other related papers. We offer them here because the predominance of CBT is increasingly evident in the support which is offered to children and young people.</div>

<span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">“Children unavoidably treat their parents as though they were experts on life. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">They, and other adults, are the people from whom the child learns what is necessary. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">But the extent to which children make demands on adults which the adults don’t know what to do with is not sufficiently remarked on. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">It is, for example, clear to everyone concerned that the adults are unable to answer, in any satisfactory way, several of the child’s questions. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">The so-called facts of life are hardly a convincing answer – for anybody – to the question of why people have sex, or where babies are from. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">Whether children are amusing, or irritating, or ‘little philosophers’, once they learn to talk they create, and suffer, a certain unease about what they can do with words. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">Paradoxically, it is the adults’ own currency – words – that reveals to them the limits of adult authority. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">The adults are not fully competent with their own tools, but there is nobody else for the child to appeal to. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">Children go on asking but eventually they have to settle for the adult’s exhausted impatience and the fictions of life. </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">‘In the unconscious,’ Freud wrote in <em len="28" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Interpretation of Dreams</em>, ‘nothing can be brought to an end, nothing is past or forgotten.’ </span><span lang="en" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">Curiosity is endless, as every parent knows, in a way that answers are not.”</span></h1>

<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Not only must children not be commanded to love their parents, but nothing must be done which has this result as their object. Parental affection, at its best, differs from sex love in this respect. It is of essence of sex love to seek a response, as is natural,since without a response, it cannot fulfil its biological function. But it is not the essence of parent love to seek a purpose.”</em></div>
