Quietly subversive: The selected works of Dilys Daws
No full textThis book gathers together selected papers and book chapters by Dilys Daws, covering her 50 years of pioneering work as a child psychotherapist.
It provides those working with parents, infants, and children with a means of learning from Daws’s decades of experience as a psychotherapist and therapeutic consultant, with plentiful case material illustrating her method of working in action. The first two sections of the book focus on her work as consultant psychotherapist in the baby clinic of a GP practice and her parent-infant work in this context as well as at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic. The third section explores her work with young children, focusing on questions around the therapeutic frame and setting. The fourth section features extended excerpts from her writings for the general public, most particularly aimed at new parents and parents with infants. Finally, the book also contains several short reflective pieces addressing themes to do with parent-infant work, the experience of the therapist, and the social role of psychoanalytic thinking.
This book will be of interest to all those working with parents and children, including doctors, health visitors, and social workers, as well as child psychotherapists and child psychoanalysts
Fashion, the City, and the Spectacle: Expanding the Role of the Designer
Get PDFFashion is a spectacular (literally and metaphorically) means of seeing the world, a bellwether of society, its hopes, cares, and fears. Fashion-making and city-making are both social processes bound together in conceptual and mundane ways. This chapter purposefully draws on references spanning a century to demonstrate that fashion, as a city spectacle, has a long-held place in sustainability discourse. The author argues the connection between fashion and cities and the role designers play. Three specific design roles in the fashion sector are expanded on by the author in this chapter. The first is the designer as a determiner; their part is heavily constructed as the decision maker. The second is the designer as co-creator, where the role focuses on working in an open and flexible context that involves a wide range of individuals and interactions. Lastly, the designer as host which focuses on leadership and encouragement

In the footsteps of Bick: Continuing the legacy of infant observation
No full textEsther Bick was intensely passionate about her work, which she pursued with a single minded focus and dedication. Her best-known contribution to psychoanalysis was her development of infant observation, which still underpins child psychotherapy training not just at the Tavi but around the world.
Esther Bick’s pioneering legacy continues. In this 100 years of the Tavistock and Portman talk, Dilys Daws and Alexandra de Rementeria shared their first-hand experience of learning and teaching infant observation. Dilys Daws was taught by Esther Bick and Alexandra by Dilys. The two presenters talked about the central role observation plays in their clinical work and in their writing for parents. This talk will appeal to students and practitioners of child and adolescent psychotherapy and all those working with children and families. This event was chaired by Kathryn Fenton.
For 100 years, the Tavistock and Portman has proudly been at the forefront of exploring mental health and wellbeing. From attachment theory and infant observation, to applying psychoanalytic and systemic approaches in varied settings, our ideas have led to changes in care, education, how organisations work and beyond.
Our Centenary Festival is celebrating our history and exploring contemporary issues in relation to identity, relationships and society. It is considering how we continue to draw on our heritage to provide valuable responses to contemporary and future problems from the perspective of equality and inclusion
Unravelling γδ T-cell dysregulation in the gut and its implications for immune-mediated diseases
No full textMultisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare condition associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and characterised by systemic inflammation and T-cell dysfunction. A subset of patients with MIS-C were found to harbour rare variants in the gene BTNL8 that disrupt BTNL8-BTNL3 heterodimer formation, likely leading to inadequate γδ T-cell regulation and subsequent disrupted gut homeostasis. MIS-C shares clinical features with Kawasaki disease and similar mechanisms of pathogenesis with inflammatory bowel disease, despite these diseases being clinically distinct entities. We explore the common link between these diseases: the potentially critical role gut immunity plays in the initiation and persistence of disease through the tight regulation of γδ T cells via BTNL8 and BTNL3. Understanding the role of BTNL8 in the context of the overlap between these conditions may aid preventative measures and treatment of these conditions.</p

Creation in Sustainable Fashion - Rio Moda Discute Internacional 2012
Get PDFRio de Janeiro’s first Fashion and Sustainability Discute Internacional was organized by Rio Moda Brazil, who provide a conduit between academic and industry practice, facilitating development of expertise in fashion with a particular emphasis on ‘creativity, authorship and management skills as mainsprings of an industry that operates in a more conscious and responsible way.’
CSF Director, Dilys Williams, was invited to speak on the social role of fashion and its interaction with the natural environment. Her presentation included an overview of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion and the work done by the centre to address our role in a more sustainable and future, nurturing and supporting our environment, and living within ecological limits. Brazil recently overtook the UK to become the world’s sixth largest economy, with the textile and fashion sectors being the second largest employers in Brazil.

Other keynote speakers included academics, practicing designers and activists
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
