Hallo again crcicketer
First, apologies for an unnecessary clarification request posted a bit
hastily. I'm afraid that was about another, though related, film and
now I've found what you really want. I just hope you'll be pleased
enough with the information I've dug out to forgive me going down the
wrong road at first.
But be warned. Buying the video is very expensive, though hiring is
also an option.
The film about John is one of five studies in the 'Young children in
Brief Separation' series:
"A series of five complementary films by James and Joyce Robertson on
the responses of young children of previous good experience to
separation from the mother. The children were from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2
years old, and the mothers were in hospital for the birth of second
babies. "
A synopsis of the study you're interested in says:
"Nine Days in a Residential Nursery..........
JOHN is a loved child who has never been out of his mother's care. At
17 months he is admitted to a group of toddlers in a residential
nursery while his mother is in hospital to have a second child. The
nurses are young and friendly, but the system of group care does not
allow any one of them to substitute for the absent mother. John tries
hard to make a relationship to get the comfort he needs, but he is
defeated and becomes increasingly distressed.
The cheerful young nurses are habituated to sporadic crying, and as
they are not assigned to the care of individual children the severity
of John's distress is not recognised until a late stage; even then,
the work-system prevents the child's need of substitute mothering from
being met. When on the ninth day John's mother comes to take him
home, he will not accept her and struggles to get out of her arms. He
looks at his mother in a way she has never seen before."

I guess it's the British address you want since you mentioned Concord,
whose official title is the Concord Video & Film Council.
The Robertson films site says it's also available from Penn State
University Media Sales Department, though I can't confirm this as
their site search facility doesn't find it:

You'll also find contact addresses in Canada, Australia and Denmark
for this film.
Navigating around the site at:
http://www.robertsonfilms.info/
is a bit awkward. Note that if you click on the link to Concord
Films, you must choose 'children' and then 'childcare' to get to the
page with details of this film. Then you must scroll down to the very
bottom.
I hope this is what you were looking for. Please don't hesitate to
ask if you need further clarification.

search notes:
I started by looking for 'robertson' combined with 'attachment',
'psychology', 'film' etc. which led me to an academic paper with
footnotes citing another film by one of the Robertsons:
http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:z6FAcm4kVm0C:www.psychology.sunysb.edu/ewaters/on-line_PDF/Inge_Origins.PDF+Bowlby+Robertson++Rosenbluth,+D.++A%22+two-year+old%22+hospital.+Psychoanalytic+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
But it was when I used "Tavistock child development" as one of my
search terms that I hit the crucial information. |
