Introduction: Schwannomas are benign, slow-growing well-encapsulated neoplasms arising from Schwann cells of nerve sheaths. Oral cavity schwannomas are very rare with an incidence less than 1%. The posterior third of the tongue is not frequently involved.
Case report: We report a rare case of a large tongue base schwannoma in a 44 year old female managed surgically by lateral pharyngotomy approach. A novel reconstruction method involving the use of submental flap is described for the functional reconstruction of the defect.
Conclusion: Being a rare tumor, schwannoma should not be missed in the differential diagnosis of tongue base tumors. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice with recurrence being very rare.

ABSTRACTThis essay shares the barriers and opportunities encountered whilst trying to adopt a more exploratory and curious position with parents, as a Newly Qualified Social Worker in an Inner London Child Protection service. This was influenced by systemic theory and an aspiration to relationship-based practice, with an assumption that this would open up conversations with parents. My findings point to a discomfort and uncertainty within the position of the Newly Qualified Social Worker, but that use of techniques drawn from narrative therapy and Motivational Interviewing enabled more exploratory practice. The parent’s perception of the wider Child Protection system appeared to be as influential as their relationship with the individual social worker, and the implications for this on social worker practice are discussed.KEYWORDS: Child protectionempathysecond-order changerelationship-basedsafe uncertaintynewly qualified social worker Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

ABSTRACTThis study seeks to understand why some social workers seem to connect and engage openly with opportunities for continuing professional development (CPD) while others seem to have a more conflicted relationship with their learning. Using psychoanalytically informed free association narrative interviews with eight social workers, the study explores the participant’s emotional experience of CPD. The data is analysed using an ‘Evolved approach’ (Cooper, 2014) in which it is examined for new ideas and organised into themes. The findings suggest a clear relational dimension to learning for social workers and the researcher offers The Learning Response model as a product of the study. This is a biographical narrative model of the pedagogy of CPD which offers a way of understanding how social worker’s approach to CPD is influenced by the experience of learning facilitation in early life. The model suggests that for some social workers, the script for future engagement with learning is set at this stage and they will repeat their early responses in their adult learning. But the study also identifies apparent compensatory factors and experiences and these seem to enable social workers to rescript their approach to CPD. For all however, the inner emotional voice created from initial experiences remains the same and it is this which replays and shapes social worker’s emotional experience of CPD.KEYWORDS: Continuing professional developmentsocial worklearner, pedagogyeducationrelational AcknowledgementsI would like to express my sincere thanks to the study participants who generously gave me their time and their stories and to my supervisor, Dr David Forbes who consistently gave insight and encouragement.This article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Andrew Cooper, my supervisor, mentor and friend.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsTanya MooreTanya Moore is Principal Social Worker for Essex Adult Social Care and Social Work Doctoral Supervisor at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust

This paper details the evaluation of a psychosocial model of reflective supervision piloted by the authors with a group of Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) supervisors who supported newly qualified social workers. The authors proposed that a psychosocial approach to reflective supervision, based on the integration of Kleinian object-relations and systemic theory, had the potential to reduce the anxiety of newly qualified social workers as they entered the profession. The supervisors undertook training in the model online over three separate days, with supervisors encouraged to apply the ideas between sessions and reflect upon their experiences with peers in a community of practice model. Although evidencing a reduction in NQSW anxiety proved problematic, the evaluation did demonstrate that the psychosocial approach to supervision was welcomed by the supervisors, and that it brought the selves of both the supervisors and supervisee into supervision, through an exploration of relationships, identity, and emotion. Organisational resistance in the form of social defences against anxiety that denied the emotionality and subjectivity of social worker experience were highlighted by supervisors; however, these appear to be mitigated by the community of practice element of the model.
