With so much uncertainty over this country’s future, a worrying number of reports are emerging on increasing levels of anxiety among Britain’s youth. For this episode, Jen and Tim caught up with Dr Lucy Maddox, a consultant clinical psychologist for the NHS, to try to understand the root causes and what steps parents can take to help those in their care cope. Lucy also reveals her own fears for woefully underfunded mental health services in the UK and examines the seven stages of ‘Brexit grief’ and whether our nation is still in a state of shock, denial or is finally accepting the reality of a life outside the European Union. #anxiety #bcalm #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #childline #depression #doctor #eu #EUreferendum #jenniferhahn #news #nhs #podcast #politics #psychology #Referendum #teenagers #TimHeming #UK #VoteIn #VoteLeave #VoteRemain

19: Dr Lucy Maddox on Brexit's psychological toll

In 1851, Elizabeth Parker, a free black child in Chester County, Pennsylvania, was bound and gagged, snatched from a local farm, and hurried off to a Baltimore slave pen. Two weeks later, her teenage sister, Rachel, was abducted from another Chester County farm. Because slave catchers could take fugitive slaves and free blacks across state lines to be sold, the border country of Pennsylvania/Maryland had become a dangerous place for most black people. In The Parker Sisters, Lucy Maddox gives an eloquent, urgent account of the tragic kidnapping of these young women. Using archival news and courtroom reports, Maddox tells the larger story of the disastrous effect of the Fugitive Slave Act on the small farming communities of Chester County and the significant, widening consequences for the state and the nation. The Parker Sisters is also a story about families whose lives and fates were deeply embedded in both the daily rounds of their community and the madness and violence consuming all of antebellum America. Maddox’s account of this horrific and startling crime reveals the strength and vulnerability of the Parker sisters and the African American population. Lucy Maddox is Professor Emerita of English and American Studies at Georgetown University. She is the author of Removals: Nineteenth-Century American Literature and the Politics of Indian Affairs and Citizen Indians: Native American Intellectuals, Race, and Reform.
