George Thompson

Venus in Boston: A Romance of City Life by George Thompson is a novel that explores themes of social inequality, virtue, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals in an urban setting. The story follows Fanny Aubrey, a fourteen-year-old fruit vendor in Boston, who faces the harsh realities of poverty while caring for her ailing grandfather and younger brother. Amidst the bleak winter streets, Fanny embodies innocence and grace but is vulnerable to the dangers that come with her circumstances. The plot intensifies when Fanny is unknowingly drawn into a perilous situation with Mr. Tickels, a wealthy libertine who seeks to take advantage of her innocence. However, fate intervenes when she meets Corporal Grimsby, an eccentric and kind-hearted former soldier, who rescues her from the exploitative clutches of Tickels. As the story unfolds, it critiques the social corruption of the time, illustrating the stark contrast between innocence and vice within a city dominated by inequality. The novel ultimately explores themes of societal exploitation, personal resilience, and the struggle to protect virtue in a world rife with moral decay.

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a therapeutic approach, based in attachment theory, which is used to support children who have experienced relational trauma. By consciously offering PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy), adults can help children - and each other - to feel more secure and open to others. This guide provides an overview of DDP and explores how it can be used to support children in residential care settings. Case studies, examples, and expert guidance from the authors' extensive experience demonstrate how to apply the principles of DDP to daily practice. From integrating the PACE model into conversations - both with children and colleagues - to balancing physical safety with relational safety in secure care situations, this book offers a way to build a culture of support throughout the whole structure of residential care settings.
