Kite of Life: From intergenerational conflict to intergenerational alliance — David Denborough

Intergenerational conflict brings with it significant challenges. And conflict can be especially complex in refugee and migrant communities, where old and young people alike have to negotiate the ways of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ countries. Sometimes, these challenges can lead to seemingly intractable and irresolvable differences. This publication introduces a new collective narrative methodology, the Kite of Life, which was developed during a project in St James Town, Canada’s most densely populated community.

Trauma: Narrative responses to traumatic experience — David Denborough (ed)

In recent years, the field of ‘trauma work’ has grown exponentially and the increased interest in these matters offers many possibilities. This wide-ranging, thoughtful and practice-based book provides clear explanations about how to use narrative ideas to respond to adults, couples and/or children who have endured traumatic experience. Key themes include: ways of ensuring that children (and adults) are not re-traumatised during counselling; ‘double listening’ – to listen not only to the story of trauma but also to the story of how the person has responded to the experiences they have endured; new approaches to ‘trauma de-briefing’; ways to unearth and acknowledge the values, skills and knowledge of those who have experienced multiple traumas; creative methods for responding to workers’ experience; and ideas for taking care not to replicate forms of psychological colonization when understandings about trauma work are ‘exported’ across cultures.

So you are accessing your file? You are not alone Leonie Sheedy, Vlad Selakovic and Frank Golding, in conversation with David Denborough

Three experienced advocates, Leonie Sheedy, Vlad Selacovic and Frank Golding, join in conversation with David Denborough to share their experiences in gaining access to childhood records for those who grew up in Australia’s orphanages, children’s Homes and foster care. The journey of discovery is often painful, even re-traumatising. Some Care Leavers nd the of cial narrative does not match their version of their childhood. There are surprising omissions and inaccuracies and infuriating censorship that privileges other people’s privacy over the right to the truth. The conversation shifts to strategies for dealing with these problems, but more importantly to the value of Care Leavers creating their own accounts of childhood and a more honest history.
