The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity

Product Information

This part of the Dibna saga may still be available via the BBC Archives or iPlayer and the series is often repeated on the DTV channel “Yesterday”. Burke Harris is a pediatrician, a founder of San Francisco’s Center for Youth Wellness, and the first surgeon general of California. The book consists of many useful examples and illustrations which help readers understand the concept better. Finally, despite the minor criticisms of the book outlined, I do believe The Deepest Well is a “must read” for clinicians (including physicians), as well as patients/laypersons unfamiliar with the terrible and predictable consequences of early childhood trauma/ACEs.

To do this would be an amazing undertaking and require a huge commitment from Japan,” says Teagle, who is involved in the project. I’m sure the well opening was within the Fitzherbert building, our headmaster Mr Robinson used to take us to see the entrance of it. My grandfather and his siblings attended Warren Farm Industrial School in the late 1800s which seems to have been residential. Wang Chunsheng, a technical expert involved in the operation, described it as a bold attempt to explore the unknown territory of the Earth and expand the boundaries of human understanding. The bottom under the water may be a concrete slab which covers the deepness, so the 120 meters deepness with the 6ft diameter is closed.However, the expense of having pumped water supplied from the local waterworks, then on the corner of Lewes Road (now Saunders Park) was considered prohibitive, so the Guardians decided that they would construct a single well for both properties and augment the workforce with labour from the Dyke Road Workhouse. I attended Fitzherbert School in Woodingdean (the location of the current Nuffield Hospital) from 1984 to 1991 and can confirm that the well used to be below the metal-work room according to the headmaster, Mr Finny. If you’re looking for an easy-to-read guide that explains everything from start to finish then look no further than this one! Apologies for my American brothers in their “biggest well” boast, as bigger is not always better, especially when its a lie!

I went to Fitzherbert school, the same time as Wesley above, and also remember the same old tale of the nun at the bottom of the well. When the Russians started to drill they claimed they had found free water – and that was simply not believed by most scientists.The actual trips to install it, the confidence of installation, the weight of the installation all play into it. The equipment, which weighs more than 2,000 tonnes, is designed to withstand underground temperatures of up to 200C and an atmospheric pressure that is 1300 times higher. The pump shaft of Fowey Consols dug some years later is 3000 feet deep and was reported to be 6ft in diameter and so straight that when standing at the bottom looking up ” daylight appeared smaller than a sixpence. She describes well her newfound understanding of the pathogenesis of ACEs and the excitement of potential, effective therapeutic interventions.

As it was an accidential death, The Board of Guardians which commissioned the construction of the well did not make compensation to the widow. The vast chamber was lit by torches that burned with blue flames, giving off neither heat nor smoke. Even if you don’t have information about it, but are interested in hearing more about what I am aiming to do, please do get in touch, as evidence of local interest about the story is very helpful to hear.In 1985, Vincent Felitti, MD, Chief of Preventive Medicine at Southern California Permanente Medical Group, San Diego, added mightily to Selye’s work with his findings of the profound, destructive, multi-organ system consequences of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Each of the sites involves a compromise between the depth of the ocean, distance from the drilling site and the need for a base on the shore that can support a billion-dollar, 24-hours-a-day operation at sea.
