Who cares about Jamie?

Discusses the problem of metal health and suggests prevention as a solution. Follows James through a few hours of his young life and then analyses the reaction of adults involved. Stresses the role adults, particularly partner and teachers play: a child needs understanding at every stage of development if he is to acquire the capacity to face life.
