Our speaker, Sally McLaren, writes…

My picture of the fox has the title ‘English Landscape’ and is by Andrew Waddington.

My clinical work in recent years has drawn my attention to an issue which has a long history and is very much part of the English landscape. This is an issue which has been largely hidden under a veil of silence. I am referring to the Public School system and in particular, the practice of sending children away to boarding school at the age of 7 and placing them in the care of an institution. I have also been struck by how little has been written about this other than by Joy Schaverien and Nick Duffell. It seems to me that the boarding school system offers a window into a cultural complex which is peculiarly British and with which we all collude.

And the fox, a familiar inhabitant of our landscape, will be there in the background, emerging from the shadows as he has in my work with these patients, a manifestation of the ‘elusive, deceptive, ever-changing content’, which flits about between us.
