Sick Children

Governor John Winthrop, Jr. (1606-1676), the first Governor of Connecticut, was famous throughout New England for his medical ability. He was often consulted by letter for medical advice about the management of sick children. The type of medicine he practiced can be gained from his letter below written in 1652 to the father of a sick child. The letter also shows that orthography –as we know it–had not yet been decided upon. I received your letter about 2 daies since wherin you desire directions concerning your child, wch indeed is very uncertaine to doe in the absence of the pty, it being difficult to find out the true cause & seat of the originall of such disease by the most diligent & curious observation, when the patient is dayly present: for though by your description I iudge it to be a palsy, yet the cause of that diseas is often very differing for in Some it is through too much drinesse in some too much moisture in some the cause is in the Nerves of the third coniugation of the braine sometymes in other nerves, in others it hath its originall in ye marrow of the back bone: This seems to be that kind wch we call Hemiplegia where one halfe of the spinall marrow is affected or (wch is often in others, and makes me doubt it may be so in this child, by reason of the suddainnesse wherewth she was stroken) it may come fro a light apoplexye (a stronger Apoplexye is comoly present death) This lighter kind of Apoplexy strikes suddainly & leaves comoly one side wthout sence or motion, and after continueth it wholy paraliticall: it may also come fro some thick flegme stopping the influence and distribution of ye vitall spiritts in the nerves, wch may also cause that suddaine apoplecticall stupor.

- The attachment theory could be a useful framework for the understanding of the emotional disturbances in disabled children. Correlation between child development phase and mother's functioning in response to child's attachment needs after the severe distress generated in parents by a severe diagnosis can explain the development of functional defences in the child. These defences explain the frequency of disturbed traits in the little patients' personalities. The most suitable attitude which the treating team should hold and purpose is highlighted, since the team has to share with the parents the difficulties of rearing the sick child.

This study was undertaken to determine whether families of children with cystic fibrosis were experiencing difficulties in meeting family needs and in maintaining normal family relationships. It was found that families were not deprived of the essentials of living, but they were not able to maintain their usual pattern of family relationships. Time and energy precluded carrying on activities with each other and with the children; and there was breakdown in their ability to communicate adequately between themselves and the children regarding important family issues. In order to preserve the family as a functioning unit, someone has to be concerned about the entire family. Of necessity, the family has focused on the sick child, leaving the physician, the nurse, the social worker and/or the social agencies to help the family refocus on its total situation, rather than just a part of it. Traditionally, the mother takes care of the sick child. It is she who takes the child to the doctor's office and is responsible for carrying out his recommendations. In the care of a CF child, she assumes a heavy burden and frequently is fatigued from this responsibility. Because she is so tired and so occupied, she may misunderstand or distort what she is told by the physician, and may not be able to tell her husband or the children what they need to know in order to participate in family activities and in the care of the CF child. This situation can easily lead to misunderstanding and tension within the family. To avoid this, both parents could be encouraged, at some point, to come together to the physician's office for discussion. Such discussions could lead to more consideration and appreciation being given to each other. It might lessen the tendency for each to blame the other for the child's illness and could avoid the feeling voiced by one mother, "I would like to blow him out of his chair so that he would help me and understand what I go through." We also need to realize that the CF child is frequently aware of the demands he makes on the family. If these demands are not discussed freely, then everyone is caught in a "web of silence" revolving around his own feelings of frustration. This creates a burden for everyone, including the CF child, and if not discussed it can impair the psychological functioning of all members. The CF child needs to be encouraged to participate in his own care program and to assume some responsibilities for himself. He should not reach the age of seven being unable to tie his own shoes or dress himself, as has been observed in some CF children. It would seem feasible, therefore, that the CF child should have an awareness of what is wrong with him, and what his abilities and limitations are. The other siblings should also be given as much explanation as possible because they, too, are part of the family and attention and care is being diverted from them. This explanation could make for more understanding on the sibling's part. While it would still be difficult for him to accept some of the decisions made (such as why the parents could not get home from the hospital in order for him to use the family car for a senior prom), he would know that it was the situation that was causing the decrease in attention and care rather than rejection of him by the parents. In order to give these families as much assistance as possible, the community's resources should be utilized. Frequently, the parents are unaware of these or need encouragement to avail themselves of services. The homemaker service or visiting nurse service could free the family from constant care; the local youth program could be helpful to the siblings in the family, and Family Service Agencies could be used for counseling on family problems. In summary, this study points up the need for the total family to have an understanding and awareness of CF and to share such knowledge with one another; that all problems of the family have to be considered and not just those of the CF child; and that help from other professional people should be utilized along with sources of the community.

Whether on oddly-shaped pillows, shrieking dolls, or basic coffee mugs, the emaciated protagonist with a gaping mouth and the swirling landscape of Edvard Munch's <em>The Scream </em>is one of today's most widespread images. Though Munch died just as abstract expressionism was being born, his emphasis on the highly personal and the unconscious through abstraction, brushwork, and intensely evocative colors link him closely to this important American art movement. Through the specific comparison of the oeuvre of Munch and the abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning, this essay will examine how and why the Norwegian painter became known as the "father of expressionism" in the history of art. <em>The Scream</em> is not central to this discussion, but instead will be looked at in conjunction with other early paintings and prints, such as <em>The Sick Child</em> and <em>The Kiss. </em>These works and others reveal Munch's artistics philosophy and technique and allow us to draw broader connections to future movements, neo-dadaism and expressionism among them.
