Abstract

This article describes the practical steps needed to establish and maintain patients on clozapine within secure psychiatric services, particularly where patients have a history of non‐adherence to treatment. The role of psychiatric nurses in creating a climate of therapeutic optimism is stressed. A number of techniques which optimise adherence are described.

Abstract

REPORTS continue to reach us which are heartening to librarians. In the outer unpleasantness of the black‐out there has come a new realization of the inner attractions of the fireside; and libraries are playing a definite part. It has been remarked, and is of course true, that for many of our people the opportunity has been given for the first time for twenty years to cultivate certain self‐activities. Music in the home is one of them; we have met men who used in youth to play an instrument now turning to it again; and the pleasure of creating music oneself instead of listening to wireless or gramophone records is great. For the first time others have turned to hobbies, handicrafts, games of skill, drawing; and many more than these have remembered that certain great books which they have had a life‐long desire to know still remain unread. In all this librarians see opportunity and play a leading part, putting out useful lists on the basis of that good slogan, “Books make Black‐outs Brighter.” We need not enlarge upon matters so obvious to the eager librarian. One thing he must have noted is the return to the greater classics, the land of Don Quixote, the immortal Vicar of Wakefield, of Jane Austen and Dickens amongst many others. It is strange how immortal the Immortals are—but, is it?

Abstract

SEPTEMBER is the month when, Summer being irrevocably over, our minds turn to library activities for the winter. At the time of writing the international situation is however so uncertain that few have the power to concentrate on schemes or on any work other than that of the moment. There is an immediate placidity which may be deceptive, and this is superficial even so far as libraries are concerned. In almost every town members of library staffs are pledged to the hilt to various forms of national service—A.R.P. being the main occupation of senior men and Territorial and other military services occupying the younger. We know of librarians who have been ear‐marked as food‐controllers, fuel controllers, zone controllers of communication centres and one, grimly enough, is to be registrar of civilian deaths. Then every town is doing something to preserve its library treasures, we hope. In this connexion the valuable little ninepenny pamphlet issued by the British Museum on libraries and museums in war should be studied. In most libraries the destruction of the stock would not be disastrous in any extreme way. We do not deny that it would be rather costly in labour and time to build it up again. There would, however, be great loss if all the Local Collections were to disappear and if the accession books and catalogues were destroyed.

Abstract

THERE ARE TIMES, you know, when I feel that there is nothing new to be said about technical college libraries. Perhaps in another few years we shall have some progress to report, but, in the remote event of there being at present some development which has not been fully described, the person to do the job is probably not the librarian who is speaking to you now. He is very conscious that neither by years of experience nor by acquaintance with many different colleges is he qualified to survey technical college librarianship. Yet there may be some point in taking another look at fairly familiar territory, because some of you may have had little contact with college libraries, while others may have had relations with them different from those enjoyed by the librarian.

Abstract

The question has been recently raised as to how far the operation of the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts of 1875, 1879, and 1899, and the Margarine Act, 1887, is affected by the Act 29 Charles II., cap. 7, “for the better observation of the Lord's Day, commonly called Sunday.” At first sight it would seem a palpable absurdity to suppose that a man could escape the penalties of one offence because he has committed another breach of the law at the same time, and in this respect law and common‐sense are, broadly speaking, in agreement; yet there are one or two cases in which at least some show of argument can be brought forward in favour of the opposite contention.

Abstract

LIBRARIES in War have, alas, been too often the theme of this and other library magazines owing to the times in which men and women of middle age have had to live. To‐day, even younger ones can see some reflection of the atmosphere, because they have been brought up in a pervading spirit of threats and preparations; insomuch—and this is the tragedy of i t—they ask “What is the good of preparing for life in this world when we are likely to be bombed out of it at any moment?” There is much good, because, even if the ultimate tragedy came, England and the majority of us would survive; and the world must go on. It is a descent from this perhaps grand attitude to the thought that less money may be available for libraries for the time being. We know that rates are rising in many places, owing to unemployment relief needs and A.R.P. demands, but there is the consolation that last year many new libraries were opened. It may be a result of the truth that never are libraries more needed than in hours of stress.

Abstract

Purpose

National guidance in Scotland says that spirituality is part of healthcare. This paper aims to review some of the evidence that this is a relevant but neglected topic across the lifespan for people with a learning disability (PLD) and their families, rarely addressed by healthcare professionals.

Design/methodology/approach

The author visited local faith‐based groups for PLD and sought views from service managers, parents, faith‐based professionals and service users about their experience of fostering the spiritual lives of PLD. The author asked: whether this is a legitimate topic for healthcare professionals to enquire about during clinical contacts; what they knew about related training issues; and whether accessible information and communication passports might be helpful.

Findings

There was qualified support for the first and third questions and little awareness of any training for health staff on spiritual matters.

Practical implications

Other strategic priorities within the LD service precluded the first step of auditing what Community learning disability team staff currently do in relation to the spiritual needs of their clients.

Social implications

However, by allowing more obvious pressing concerns to predominate, especially in the context of cutbacks, we may be overlooking a potential source of distress as well as an opportunity to promote an avenue to meaningful relationships.

Originality/value

The author poses questions for future research and practice, giving examples from clinical experience.

Abstract

THE death of Sir John Ballinger was the cardinal library event of January. Elsewhere one of our contributors has gathered his memories of this distinguished past president of the Library Association. Here we pay tribute to a great librarian whose devotion to all that is best in the service was life‐long and who received honours which are not always given to librarians. Achieving a relatively important library position in early life, he not only gave his city an admirable service; he found time to work for all the general interests of the profession. The respect and gratitude, and indeed the affection, of all of us surrounded his later years and go with him to his grave. Our sympathy is respectfully expressed to Lady Ballinger and her family.
