Reviews and Endorsements

"Dilys Daws has inspired generations of parents, children and fellow professionals. This beautiful collection of her writings reflects the enormous range of her work as a child psychotherapist, trainer, campaigner, and passionate supporter of primary care. She writes with clarity and simplicity. This book will continue to inspire many more people in the future." - John Launer, GP; honorary consultant, Tavistock Clinic; honorary associate professor, UCL; Former associate dean at Health Education England.

"In this collection of papers for the World Series, we finally have a fitting tribute to Daws' contribution to our field, and one that does justice to the breadth and scope of her work. Over the course of her career, Daws has changed the landscape both within child psychotherapy and without. She has fostered change within important allied professions and then worked collaboratively with those allies in psychiatry, health visiting and general medicine through clinical work, campaigning and lobbying. All this and her courage, compassion, curiosity and humour are evident in this important volume." - Dr. Alexandra de Rementeria, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Child Psychotherapy; Lead Therapist　with the Tavistock Outreach in Primary Schools project; M7 Assessment Tutor.

"Based on over 50 years’ observations ‘standing next to the weighing scales’ and Dilys’ deep respect for health visitors, this immense collection is a must-read for everyone working with families who are experiencing difficulties. ‘Quietly Subversive’ reminds us to look beyond targets and tasks - families’ lives are changed when they feel seen, understood, and supported." - Alison Morton, Executive Director, Institute of Health Visiting.
