Dear Matthew
Marian has worked as a nurse and with multi-disciplinary teams. Je Kan
continues to work as a nurse educator and practitioner-researcher at
Fukuoka University and I feel sure that both will recognise the
importance of responding creativity with a restorative energy with
those who are feeling "down-trodden, ignored, devalued, not listened
to, taken-for-granted etc'. Marian's and Je Kan's doctorates do
address related issues at: http://people.bath.ac.uk/edsajw/
living.shtml .
I do hope it will be possible for you to share your thoughts - I know
this may be difficult with confidentiality/ethical issues to take
account of.
Love Jack.
