Soundclips
Here are a few soundclips of Mr Lyward, the Chief, from a radio programme made some 35 years ago.
Form of Hospitality
Here he outlines how Finchden was founded and developed, and the personal experience that he offered. He goes on describe an aspect of its integrity and the special quality that he used to refer to, which helped the Finchden experience keep its shape - stern love.
The Unknown / Faith / Being Loved and Forgiven

The interviewer asks Chief whether the spiritual side of Finchden is Christian or agnostic. The Chief replies by saying that psycopathology and catagories are no replacement for faith, and that in the end we are always faced with the unknown. Chief continues by talking about love and forgiveness, (with reference to social attitudes in the late '60's) ending with one of his characteristic verbal winks.

Thieves / Individual Shape
In this clip Chief uses the language of the psychatrist and social worker with a degree of discomfort. However, it is clear he is much more interested in the personal process of individuation than a person becoming stuck with label that has no real regard for an internal creative process.
