Life Story Work
Life story work is a social work intervention with children and adults designed to recognise their past, present, and future. It is prominently used with children who will be adopted, and older adults as part of reminiscence therapies. Life story books are often incorporated into this work to give a visual aid and reminder of important events or feelings. Origins Life story work as a concept has dated back to at least the 1960s, possibly further. The application of the concept to children in foster care and adoption was discussed in academia from the early 1980s onward. Life story work is well documented in the UK and Australia and has been incorporated into UK Adoption legislation. More recently it has been used in Eastern Europe. Preparing and planning Social workers should take the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that children who are expected to be adopted or to be in long term care have a life story book. Social workers often hold the most factual information about t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Watson at Cambridge University; and Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at King's College London. They are also competing with other scientists in the UK, and with international scientists such as American Linus Pauling.

Lost In The Funhouse
''Lost in the Funhouse'' (1968) is a short story collection by American author John Barth. The postmodern stories are extremely self-conscious and self-reflexive, and are considered to exemplify metafiction. Though Barth's reputation rests mainly on his long novels, the stories "Night-Sea Journey", "Lost in the Funhouse", "Title" and "Life-Story" from ''Lost in the Funhouse'' are widely anthologized. The book appeared the year after the publication of his essay '' The Literature of Exhaustion'', in which Barth said that the traditional modes of realistic fiction had been used up, but that this exhaustion itself could be used to inspire a new generation of writers, citing Nabokov, Beckett, and especially Borges as exemplars of this new approach. ''Lost in the Funhouse'' took these ideas to an extreme, for which it was both praised and condemned by critics. Overview Each story can be considered complete in itself, and in fact several of them were published separately before be ...

Guilty (Barbra Streisand Album)
''Guilty'' is the twenty-second studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand released on September 23, 1980, by Columbia Records. It was produced by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees and his group's regular production team of Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson. Streisand released a sequel to this album, ''Guilty Pleasures (Barbra Streisand album), Guilty Pleasures'', in 2005, also produced and largely written by Gibb. Both albums can also be considered partial-collaboration albums, since Streisand not only performed two duets with Gibb, but Gibb could also be heard as a background vocalist in a few other songs solely by the artist herself, along with the fact that both singers were on the cover for both albums issued. The album sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Background and production After the huge success of the Bee Gees in the late 1970s, Gibb began to focus on writing and producing songs. Streisand approached Gibb to write songs for her new album—initially he was going ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
