Throughout most of human history, our ancestors have done rather
poorly when dealing with acts of violence. To cite but one of many
shocking examples, let us perhaps recall a case from 1801, of an
English boy aged only 13, who was executed by hanging on the
gallows at Tyburn. What was his crime? It seems that he had been
condemned to die for having stolen a spoon (Westwick, 1940).
Prisons are not ideal environments in which to practice
psychotherapy, but they are places in which it is urgently needed.
Unfortunately, too many people do not understand either the needor
what therapy can offerand ignorance is a powerful enemy of
practice. The Prison Service has the difficult task of attempting
to ensure that all needs can be catered for. Its most intractable
problem is with those at the extreme end of the difficult,
dangerous and disruptive spectrum, whose treatment cannot solely be
a matter of control. These are the prisoners whose treatment and
needs are described in this book.Psychotherapy should not be seen
as antithetical to the ethos of a prison it is important that
prison staff understand therapists, and vice versa. The value of
Life Within Hidden Worlds is that it helps to fill the gap by
explaining, simply yet graphically, the challenges that face
therapists.Sir David Ramsbotham, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons,
from his Foreword.
As rigorous as it is sumptuous, the work of Roger Ferris + Partners
blends high style and modernist principles. This is the firm's
first monograph. From family houses to historic restorations,
hotels, and high-tech office spaces - the architectural firm of
Roger Ferris + Partners has pursued uncommonly diverse projects at
vastly different scales, all with an approach to design that
synthesizes imagination and logic. Whether a 1,500-square-foot
house on a narrow lot overlooking Long Island Sound, or the Royal
Bank of Scotland's US headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut - with
a six-story glazed atrium and a "courtyard in the sky" on the roof
of its two-story trading floor - a building that is "well conceived
and artfully executed, cannot help but be beautiful." Among Ferris'
major projects are a golf clubhouse that has turned a conservative
typology on its ear with bladelike forms inspired by a racing
engine turbine, and a partially sunken service entrance in which
impresario Robert Wilson has staged theatrical productions. A
design for a restaurant includes not only a central, glass-enclosed
kitchen elevated 18 inches above the floor, but an art installation
that periodically projects scrolling text on the dining room wall.
In every project, the fulfillment of the client's functional needs
is rendered in the most elemental and legible way, resulting in
both formal elegance and dramatic power.
