Alison,
I do not have specific knowledge of a history of respite -
however (if my memory serves me well enough) there was a
lot of material around the ideas and developments coming
out of what was happening in the latre seventies and early
eighties which was in Journals and information from
organisations like BILD, BRIDGES (formerly APMH and now
defunct)and VIA (then CMH). So there may be no alternative
to a slog through the archives and dusty shelves I am
afraid (but check the index to theses).
