Abstract: In this paper, I draw on a qualitative study of Iraqi-born Muslim mothers in Australia exploring how they navigate choosing secondary schools for their daughters. While the mothers interviewed for this study agreed on the importance of education and its role in facilitating upward social mobility for all their children, they articulated a specific and more complex set of concerns in relation to selecting schools for their daughters. This article suggests that families' positions in the Australian diasporic Iraqi community are tied to girls' schooling and, therefore, school choices are heavily gendered and contribute to a gendered structuring of family and community life. By analysing the narratives of Iraqi-born mothers, a deeper understanding emerges of the complex and varied outlooks of migrant Muslim parents on education and gender in their everyday practices of raising and educating their daughters.

Abstract: While children both understand the concept of, and have died by, suicide, little research has been conducted on children's experiences of healthcare systems during and after a suicidal crisis. This article focuses on three case studies of mothers with suicidal daughters and aims to describe the health service experiences of parents whose children have attempted suicide. The case studies were selected as exemplars of three different healthcare experiences of mothers with suicidal daughters younger than 16 years of age. Interviews were conducted with the mothers, focusing on their experiences when trying to find care for their daughters after a suicide attempt. A 'dirty text' analysis was undertaken on the transcripts, which aimed to find potential redemption within stories of trauma. Narratives were analysed to see how their stories were told, but also how experiences could be shared or be dissimilar. Significant gaps currently exist in the care and support provided to suicidal children, particularly in the critical post-discharge phase. Adults were not always able to recognise when a child was suicidal, or sometimes take that suicidality seriously. Support must often be proactively sought, and even organisations that are meant to target children and adolescents may not always provide appropriate care. [Author abstract]

Abstract: Parents of gifted children are faced with many choices and dilemmas in their efforts to ensure their children receive an appropriate education. The authors' eldest daughter was not formally identified as gifted until she was at university. Lack of knowledge and information frustrated her parents' endeavours to assist her through the turbulent years of secondary education. Had they known more, they would have been better equipped to develop effective intervention strategies to assist her. By the time the couple's second daughter commenced formal education, their knowledge had increased markedly. This story shares the choices the authors made, the pathways they took and the impact of these choices on their younger daughter's progress through primary school at a one-teacher multi-level geographically isolated state school. By working in a productive partnership with the school and other departmental personnel, the authors were able to effectively assist their daughter to achieve a variety of positive outcomes. They offer some practical suggestions which may assist parents and others to take such children from ability to achievement: from potential to performance. [Author abstract, ed]

Abstract: Through selected theories of melancholia, this paper seeks to shed some fresh interpretive light on the reproduction and disruption of gender, violence and family turmoil across generations of mothers and daughters. The originality of the paper lies in its exploratory deployment of theories of melancholia to consider issues of women, violence and generation. It addresses these matters through a discussion of the intergenerational emotional archives assembled by two mother/daughter pairs in relation to their different experiences of sexual and other violence. It shares the mothers' experiences of violence in their childhood and shows how these help to shape the ways in which they raise their daughters and address the troubles that their daughters experience. Different theories of melancholia help to explain the dissimilar emotional dynamics between these mother and daughter pairs. But equally their stories suggest the analytical potential of different theories of melancholia for understanding women's and girls' diverse responses to violence. Freud's, Irigaray's and Silverman's constructions of melancholia, which are largely based on notions of emptiness, lack and insufficiency, are deployed alongside Eng & Kazanjian's interpretation of a melancholic state of being which focuses on the creative potential of animating the remains of loss; an interpretation that invokes an agential relationship to the losses that violence provokes. The former help to explain what might be seen as the 'hopeless politics' associated with certain melancholic responses to violence and the latter help to explain what might be considered more 'hopeful politics' associated with responses that mobilise a more agential relationship to loss. The paper arises from a wider cross-generational study in Australia of the lives of educationally, economically and culturally marginalised young women and their mothers. [Author abstract]

Abstract: The coping styles of 61 mother/daughter dyads were investigated to establish the extent to which mothers and daughters share coping strategies and to examine cohort effects on coping. For this sample, mothers and daughters generally agreed on the preferred coping styles. However, one strategy showed a positive correlation between mothers and daughters, and two showed a slight negative correlation. When similarities of individual profiles were used to determine clusters, most of the groups which appeared contained mainly mothers or daughters. Cohort effects appear to be much stronger in determining patterns of preferred coping strategy than are family influences.

Abstract: Four mothers and their four daughters who were experiencing a conflictual relationship were taken on two adventure therapy weekends followed by a family day. Questionnaires regarding changed perceptions of competence in self and other, and changed relationships within the mother-child dyad were completed after each occasion. All parties reported important changes in how they saw themselves and the other family member: these changes included more liking of each other, less conflict, more communication, a greater sense of physical competence and increased personal confidence. These results are discussed in terms of blending certain family therapy practices with adventure therapy. [Author abstract]

Abstract: The Class of '71 is a longitudinal study following the educational and career paths of a group of Australians over the years from secondary school to mid adulthood. This article is the second of a two part series detailing the results of this study. In part 1, which appeared in the Spring 1995 edition of this journal, factors associated with career outcomes, measured 20 years after secondary school, were detailed. In this article, findings that relate to intergenerational mobility, the association of unemployment with career outcomes, the match between occupational aspirations and achievements, and factors the respondents believed were influential regarding career outcomes are reported.
