Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD

Hodges' model is a conceptual framework to support reflection and critical thinking. Situated, the model can help integrate all disciplines (academic and professional). Amid news items, are posts that illustrate the scope and application of the model. A bibliography and A4 template are provided in the sidebar. Welcome to the QUAD ...

Contextual and other forms of Collapse ...

"I will get through this."

what is invisible


"Nowadays, digital technology is transforming our lives at an accelerating pace. This sometimes feels wildly liberating. But it is often terrifying too, because cyberspace is so disorientating. More specifically, in the cyberworld there is a constant problem of what anthropologists call "context collapse": it is hard to discern the contours of social interactions because the factors that used to frame our cultural lives are only half-present".


"We will get through this together."
my emphasis


At times such as this - the COVID19 pandemic - we are all trying to maintain the semblance of  "I will get through this." and "We will get through this together"; trying to self-care and in-so-doing care for friends, family, community and the population.

At times when our cultural and personal lives are not even 'half-present', there is an increased need for sense-making, for balance and orientation. While the tool we seek is a vaccine and preparedness for the next one, there are tools to reduce the impact of the several forms of collapse we are presently  experiencing.

Past Disquiet - Artists, International Solidarity and Museums in Exile


"The International Art Exhibition for Palestine took place in Beirut in 1978 and mobilized international networks of artists in solidarity with anti-imperialist movements of the 1960s and ’70s. In that era, individual artists and artist collectives assembled collections; organized touring exhibitions, public interventions and actions; and collaborated with institutions and political movements. Their aim was to lend support and bring artistic engagement to protests against the ongoing war in Vietnam, the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, and the apartheid regime in South Africa, and they were aligned in international solidarity for anti-colonial struggles. Past Disquiet brings together contributions from scholars, curators and writers who reflect on these marginalized histories and undertakings that took place in Baghdad, Beirut, Belgrade, Damascus, Paris, Rabat, Tokyo, and Warsaw. The book also offers translations of primary texts and recent interviews with some of the artists involved."

Book review: v Critical Mental Health Nursing: observations from the inside

Through January - March 2020 I've been checking the blog posts from the start in 2006, sorting the wheat from chaff. The task complete means that:

  • posts - basically not 'read'; 
  • what is this about (or, what was I thinking!)?
  • dated conference calls, courses, events, consultations, calls for papers;
  • broken links;
  • posts with  (way) too many links;
  • old links to domains that had been 'repurposed' or hijacked (drugs, dentistry, dating, games ...)
- have all been deleted.

I found a link to another non-existent blog-post and this draft post on a book review from early 2019.

This may be a waste of time. But it felt quite cathartic. Putting twitter down and not posting may also  help me focus attention on the things I really need to do.

<>

Following on from Part i, Part ii Part iii and Part iv.

Finally, I am teasing out points that highlight the role of Hodges' model.

Foucault had views that are seminal in the politics of mental health and society and views that perturb.

Critical Mental Health Nursing
Marc Roberts in chapter 7 uses Foucault for the book's critical project of the 'history of the present'. To begin however there is the challenge of how to encapsulate critical, reflective thinking and our identity or 'self' in Foucault's work. Through other sources, Robert's notes that the


"conceptual considerations surrounding the distinctions between critical thinking and reflection" (p.125) which can "broadly be understood as a multifaceted cognitive and affective capability that requires a variety of intellectual skills and emotional attributes."

A role for creativity is acknowledged in

"the analysis and clarification of issues and areas of concern; the gathering and appraisal of evidence, research and theory; the questioning and challenging of assumptions, values and beliefs, and the synthesis and application of information to produce alternative and innovative ways of thinking and behaving." (p.126).

Hi Peter,

I hope all is well. Yesterday in the PhD level 2 Seminar course that I teach (for PhD in Nursing students) we discussed your publication and 2 by 2 template. Thank you for letting me know about your work!

FYI, these are the readings we discussed yesterday:

Two of the readings in the above are related to my publications (1st one I am a co-author on and the 4th one I am the first author on).

The students asked how I came to know about your work, and I indicated one of the advantages of Twitter is you connect with folks related to our field!

Thank you again,

'Desk-topping' i [ c/o BBC Radio 4 today 5 Feb. ]

'desktop'

Definition #1 below is as obvious as it is brief. A desk might be topped with various things, so-called executive toys (still?), personal affects, or company related branding.
It may have the proverbial in-tray, out-tray (paper still lingers?). The desk may be clear, or cluttered as a workspace. It will be the home of technology, it's PC - desktop - namesake, that shares the floor nearby, wired the sign of connectedness and energy.



'Desk-topping'

To have 'papers' on the desk, might be to denote action of some sort, but how long are those 'papers' held for?
The subjects of the issue at hand could be experiencing a protracted delay. The desktop in this case exemplifies not just bureaucracy, but obfuscation.



desk·top (dĕsk′tŏp′)
n.
1. The top of a desk.
2. Computers
a. The area of a display screen where images, windows, icons and other graphical items appear.
b. A computer that is designed to be used at a desk or table and is not easily moved, in contrast to a laptop or other portable device. Also called desktop computer.

Post enigma 2008 ADLS

I've found back in 2008 there is reference to a non-existent post. I'm not sure what happened, but do remember considering this:

https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2008/09/holistic-care-what-is-holistic.html

Creature of habit and habitat that I am, I also appear to have used the same 'strategy' of mapping concepts to the domains of Hodges' model.

In this case the focus was activities of (daily) living. It is this strategy that is employed in a draft paper still to be revised but on the Sustainable Development Goals. This exercise is not just reflective, there is a reflexive quality to it. The fact that asymmetry is revealed should not be surprising. In this post the clue is in the word 'activities' and ADLs and what is often deemed primary in theory, practice and common-sense.

To be revised ...
