Because complex needs are complex, services to meet these complex needs will also be complex and multi-faceted; cataloguing them in any fashion is always going to be at best problematic, at worst, unsatisfactory and frustrating - and we can simply miss much very valuable material to learn from

Yet without some kind of signposting, it is impossible to browse effectively.

On this page, for the present, we have simply a very wide-ranging selection of many of the case studies and practice samples that appear on this site, in no particular order. Over time, we will attempt to introduce a range of topics, using the book references style, such as (author, date).
