8. Loving Care: Steve Lacy, Roswell Rudd, and Randy Weston

Questions about whether love can be offered in residential child care units, whether combining child protection and safeguarding in social work with loving care or care with love is possible, and whether children and young people feel loved by someone who is paid to care for them, have raised long-standing issues. Social pedagogy puts such questions at the core of its philosophy and practice, and has been a fundamental part of care in Denmark for many years. Drawing on a Danish survey of 1,400 children in out-of-home care, this paper analyses the subjective feeling of love amongst children living in out-of-home care. The main moderating factors for feeling loved are the feeling of security and the feeling of social support, the tangible counterpart of Honneth’s concept of recognition.

J.N.M. Medical College Raipur from Nov 2015-Sept 2016. Total 100 women were evaluated with history of RPL.Results: 100 women were recruited in our study. The incidence of primary RPL was more than secondary RPL. 48 % women had first trimester abortions. The identifiable causes accounted for 53% out of which anatomical defects were the commonest .Next were endocrinal factors (20%), and Genetic factors (1%),Immunological factors 7%., Medical causes were 3%. However, 47% were unexplained.Conclusions: Despite innumerable investigations, sometimes or rather most of the times, the etiology remains obscure. It is this group of women who become a challenge to manage. Ultimately, most effective therapy for women with unexplained RPL is antenatal counseling, psychological support and tender loving care.
