Coping with loss: the development and evaluation of a children's bereavement project.

The 'Kingfisher Project' is a community-based programme of support groups for bereaved children. It has been developed by a multi-disciplinary group of workers from health, education, social services and the voluntary sector. Thirty-six children and young people have have been through the first five groups of the programme. Children accessing the service are predominantly those at high risk of developing longer-term problems as a result of bereavement. Evaluation indicates that the children and young people benefit in terms of increased social, behavioural, emotional and physical well-being. Two sub-groups appear to have benefited less: these are children and young people with learning difficulties, and teenage girls. Project evaluation has enabled workers to develop insights into the programme's strengths and weaknesses and has raised questions which merit further exploration.

'Posterior temporal fast' EEG activity in childhood.

Posterior temporal fast (PTF) EEG activity has been studied in 352 children (706 EEGs) from 1967 to 1982. During this period a total of 42,600 EEGs have been recorded. The rhythmic activity detected as PTF was of 18-30 c/sec but usually at 20-26 c/sec, varying in amplitude between 50 and 300 microV. It appears in runs lasting seconds, often in some sort of irregular spindling. Its frequency but not its amplitude tends to be fixed in each child. This EEG activity (not previously described) appears, or disappears, in response to a variety of environmental stimuli. PTF was seen in over 1% of children between 1 and 3 years of age becoming rare in older children.
