I love reading this book at least once a year.

A first wave feminist classic about the distress inducing constraints felt by Victorian women. I still think it has enormous relevance not least for exposing the perils of gender inequalities and power dynamics in relationships and families. Wonderful

For anyone working in adolescent mental health: I *really* recommend reading this important paper about the most commonly used questionnaires (inc SDQ)

In short: most of them have poor psychometric properties, so do we even know what they are measuring?

www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

(cont)
Estimating adolescent mental health in the general population: current challenges and opportunities Louise Black, Margarita Panayiotou, Neil Humphrey Adolescence is a period of change and increased mental health difficulties, which are important for lifetime outcomes. Adolescent mental health is therefore an active research area, with large samples often drawing on self-report general measures (ie, not disorder-specific or focused on a narrow outcome). We argue that these measures have a key role in our understanding of issues such as prevalence, antecedents, prevention, and intervention, however, measurement has been given little attention and high-quality measures do not tend to be available or used. We offer insights into historical and psychometric challenges that have contributed to current problems and highlight the implications of relying on poor measures, which at their worst can be biased and unethical. We make recommendations for research and practice on selecting measures and improving the evidence base and make a call to action to reject low-quality measurement in this field.

Don Letts came to Walthamstow last night to talk about his new book ‘There and Black Again’ and to show his documentary on reggae, punk and post punk. The footage of The Slits, Prince Far I, The Clash and Siouxsie and the Banshees was just incredible. And he gave me a wee cuddle, so
I’m very happy.
