Book SynopsisWar and its legacy are traumatic to individuals, communities, and landscapes. The impacts last long beyond the events themselves and shape lives and generations. Archaeology has a part to play in the recording of, and recovery from, such trauma. The Falklands War Mapping Project delivers the first intensive archaeological survey of the battlefields of the Falklands War. The project is pioneering in its inclusion of military veterans as part of the core team and unique in being the first to take veterans back to the battlefields on which they fought. Forty years after the events of 1982, the project provides a detailed assessment of the character, location, and condition of structural features and artefacts. The project also develops understandings of the role played by conflict heritage – and of landscapes, finds, and past events – in the recall of personal and collective memories. This sumptuously illustrated book brings together the perspectives of team members, institutional partners and others. It showcases the varied and important contributions archaeology can make beyond understandings of distant events linked to therapeutic progress, coming to terms with traumatic experiences, living with the past in the present, and forging new memories, relations, and futures.Trade Review‘Forty years after the collective trauma of war, the fighting for personal peace continues. The results of the Falklands War Mapping Project are striking – as this inspirational book shows’ – Lieutenant-General (Ret’d) Sir John Kiszely KCB MC DL ‘This is a remarkable book – at once touching and gripping – that demonstrates not only the value veterans can bring to archaeology but also the value of archaeology to veterans’ – David Shaw CBE, Founder and CEO, The Veterans’ Foundation ‘This book shows not only how archaeology contributes to the well-being of those injured in war, but also provides a series of insights into the problems of interpretation and recording’ – Tim Schadla-Hall, University College London, UKTable of ContentsForeword – Phil Harding ; Acknowledgements ; Introduction – Tony Pollard and Timothy Clack ; Section 1.

Book SynopsisBased on an 8-week Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy programme, this guide addresses the increasing need for adapted mindfulness in the management of ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Long Covid, and other chronic fatigue conditions. Using current understanding and theoretical approaches to Long Covid and ME/ CFS, this book allows practitioners to understand how they can adapt their teaching to accommodate patients with specific needs and challenges, including adaptations for brain fog, approaches to rest, movement, daily activity and accompanying difficult thoughts and emotions. Contributions from people who manage ME, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue through mindfulness are included alongside practical guidance and detailed week-by-week session plans whether that's in-person or online. Filled with helpful diagrams and illustrations, practitioners can use this guide to greatly widen the scope of who they can reach and gently empower clients living with often isolating conditions on how to apply this approach in the long-term to their everyday lives.Trade ReviewWhat you hold in your hands is based on more than two decades of clinical experience combined with more than three decades of personal engagement in mindfulness practice and study. I am deeply confident that if the wisdom in this book is brought to life, it will transform the lives of people who participate. -- Professor Rebecca Crane, PhD, Director, Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, Bangor UniversityThis step-by-step description of a mindfulness-based approach to ME/CFS will enable more clinicians and teachers to offer these tools more confidently and effectively. -- Dh Taravajra LLM, MA in Mindfulness-Based Approaches Bangor University; Sussex Mindfulness CentreThis book is a treasure trove of professional expert opinion coupled with examples from lived experience of those with these debilitating conditions.

Drawing upon the established models of MBSR and MBCT, that deeply cultivate the qualities of calm and insight, curiosity, acceptance and compassion, she demonstrates how hope and change may be found in the face of the seemingly intractable. -- Nigel Wellings MA, Psychoanalytic PsychotherapistThis book is timely and well written ...The author has extensive knowledge of supporting people with fatiguing illnesses. The breakdown of the programme with session content is very comprehensive. There is a thorough resources and reference list for those wanting to explore the content and concepts further.

Book SynopsisThis anthology collates 16 unique and powerful perspectives from occupational therapists around the globe, each highlighting the culture that they are a part of and how it informs their work and care. Ranging across almost every continent in the world including stories from Aotearoa to the Gaza Strip to Dhaka and beyond, Occupational Therapy Disruptors offers a decolonised re-examination of occupational therapy through a poignant, global lens.Based on a series of interviews conducted by Sheela Roy Ivlev, each account provides candid and personal reflections and challenges found in occupational therapy in different cultural and political contexts and inspires occupational therapists to enrich their own practice with cultural awareness and reflexivity.With reflection prompts and calls to action at the end of each chapter, this is an invaluable resource for occupational therapists looking to develop a more diverse, culturally-informed understanding of their practice.Trade ReviewIt is essential that Indigenous people around the world take back their narrative and Sheela Ivlev provides a venue toward the process of decolonizing occupational therapy. Occupation means nothing without understanding the culture and even the complexity of the word occupation in various cultural contexts. Words do matter and the words need to be the words of each culture. Occupational therapy is at a crossroads in its development as to how viable and relevant it wants to be moving forward and leadership should read this book and have in depth conversations about the questions and issues it raises. I am so proud of Sheela Ivlev for doing this work with such passion. -- LaVonne Fox Peltier, Occupational Therapist Registered, PhD Higher Education & Leadership and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Turtle Mountain Community CollegeWho is afraid of decoloniality? Who will be empowered by this book and who will feel threatened and bothered? Enveloping myriad global perspectives, 'Occupational Therapy Disruptors' goes beyond coloniality, to intentionally disrupt current OT discourses, epistemology and ontologies. Employing storytelling as a counterhegemonic methodology, Ivlev skilfully introduces ecologies of knowledge into the canon of OT knowledge. This volume will change the course of OT scholarship epistemologies and practice permanently. -- Dr Dave S.P. Thomas, Associate Professor, Inclusive Curriculum, Solent UniversityFirst of its kind, this book is a must read for ALL occupational therapists as it flips the script and invites us to (un)learn from the voices that have long been dismissed and undervalued in our profession. Ivlev's analysis is refreshing and honest and should be centered in every OT curriculum as it challenges the dominant narratives (re)produced by ultra privileged global north perspectives that have been positioned as THE experts for far too long. This book makes space for multiple ways of understanding and doing occupational therapy. -- Angie Phenix and Kaarina Valavaara, Métis women and occupational therapists working in education and advocacy to promote Indigenous rights and equity for Indigenous Peoples in Canada.Sheela provides a hands-on guide for navigating the hot-button issues related to occupational therapy and frameworks that so many people struggle to articulate, this book is a must-read. -- Minda Harts, public speaker, podcaster, and ward-winning author of The Memo, Right Within, and You Are More Than MagicSheela Ivlev has more than proven she is one of the greatest occupational therapists. Now, with this masterpiece, Occupational Therapy Disruptors, she shines a light on many other occupational therapists around the world that are also disrupting the status quo and decolonizing the field of occupational therapy to improve both physical and mental health outcomes, often for those in underserved and overlooked communities. The reflections and suggestions presented allow readers to not only take in thought provoking ideas and discussion but also to take action toward much needed diversity, equity, inclusion, justice and accessibility work in this area. -- Dr. Catherine Jackson, BCN, CIMHP, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Board Certified in NeurotherapyTable of Contentsi.

Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book binds together a contemporary understanding of sleep and brain injury, pairing empirical understanding through clinical practice with extensive up-to-date research, to provide a deeply considered approach to these overlapping topics. Firstly, the author discusses the neuroanatomy and architecture of sleep, including the need for sleep, definitions of good sleep, and what can go wrong with sleep. The focus then moves to the neuroanatomical damage and dysfunction from brain injury, and the resultant functional effects. The author then adroitly fuses the two streams of coverage together, focusing on the neurobiological, neurochemical, and functional aspects of both sleep and brain injury to offer new insights as to how they interrelate.The book then looks towards the applied aspects of treatment and rehabilitation, bringing further thoughts of how, because of this new understanding, we can potentially offer novel treatments for brain injury recovery andTrade Review"Dr Thomas successfully weaves together current knowledge and research from the fields of sleep and brain injury with a vast scope that ranges from the relationship of the neuroanatomical and neurochemical foundations through to the lived experience of the individual. The book expertly constructs a deep appreciation of the complexity and interrelatedness of the extensive ecosystem that is sleep and waking as it structures and encompasses all aspects of life. Based on the intricacies of the above, a complete sleep management approach is offered to promote healthy sleep and waking, which makes clear how things might be improved for those who have experienced a brain injury. It is a must read for anyone working in this area." - Dr Susan Hooper, BSc (Hons), Cert. Ed, MSc, D Couns Psych, Cert. Rehab, Chartered Psychologist, Registered Counselling Psychologist, HCPC"An extraordinary work, I have learned so much. A few items that stand out in particular include: the disturbing persistence of pro-inflammatory cytokines (and potential risk of neurodegenerative disease) for years post brain injury, the impact of melatonin and sleep deprivation on bone mineral density, the impact of reduced or excess REM on depressive symptoms, including suicidal ideation post TBI, the unsurprisingly complex and beneficial role of Vitamin D, the microbiome and vagus nerve stimulation: all areas of research in inflammatory arthritis. This book offers a thorough review of the neuroscience of sleep and brain injury, together with novel evidenced based interventions to optimise outcomes." - Dr Jo MacGowan, Consultant Rheumatologist, BSc (Hons), MBBS, FRCP"This astonishingly well researched book integrates current knowledge from sleep theory and practice and the wider neurosciences to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding sleep disorders and brain injury, and their interaction.

Book SynopsisThough our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits.The authors take the reader step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Readers will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking.This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism. A clinical companion guide, Is This Autism? A Companion Guide for Diagnosing, is available for clinicians who make mental health diagnoses.Trade Review"Is This Autism? is a towering accomplishment, bringing together the state of the art of scientific and clinical insights into autism with the lived experience and perspectives of autistic people. Sensitively written, meticulously observed, and profoundly compassionate, this book will transform your understanding of autism, whether you're a clinician, a family member, or an autistic person yourself." — Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity"Is This Autism? is just brilliant – genuinely one of the best books I have ever read! Drs. Henderson and Wayland embrace neuro-affirming practice, bringing together their clinical and life experience to give a richness that is much needed within the medical and therapeutic field of autism." — Barb Cook, MAut, DipHSc, developmental educator, Director NeuroEmploy Pty Ltd & NeuroDiversity Hub, founder Spectrum Women"Is This Autism? integrates the voices of autistic people and the latest research to provide a readable, empowering, and comprehensive resource for clinicians of all kinds. Its emphasis on autistic strengths and the value of neurodiversity is especially welcome." — Lauren Kenworthy, PhD, pediatric neuropsychologist, Director, Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Children’s National Hospital "You could spend years finding the patterns in first-person accounts of how autism manifests in various individuals – or you could read this book. As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, I wish it existed earlier. For other adult women seeking an autism evaluation, I would confidently recommend any clinician who reads this book and its companion guide. (That’s a big leap from my previous recommendation, which was to only see a clinician who has previously diagnosed another autistic woman!)" — Annie Kotowicz, author of What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic: Unpuzzling a Life on the Autism Spectrum"This book presents a respectful, rich, and expansive description of what autism really looks like across individuals. It provides an invaluable resource to help clinicians move past the often inaccurate, restricted, and stereotypical expectations that have historically limited an appreciation for the full 'spectrum' of this diagnosis. It is a must-read for all neuropsychologists as well as all who work with this population whether we know it or not." — Kira Armstrong, pediatric neuropsychologist, co-editor of The Clinical Neuropsychologist’s Special Issue: Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders"Is This Autism? is a wonderful contribution to the field, guiding clinicians to better understand, appreciate, and describe autistic individuals as they support each unique individual’s journey of self-discovery through the assessment process." — Marilyn J. Monteiro, PhD, author of Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum, second Edition (MIGDAS-2)"This book is a MASTERPIECE. The information is new, beautifully stated, organized, important, helpful. Just gorgeous. I love it very much." — Carol Stock Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-Sync Child"I found the expertise in this book crucial for anyone interested in autism, a necessary resource for clinicians, researchers, and diagnosticians. Without hesitation, I rate it, to date, the most important work in the field." — Rachelle K. Sheely PhD, President RDI"Lived experiences, professional expertise, and research are carefully woven together in Is This Autism? – a must-read for ALL clinicians to enable them to recognize and better serve the often unseen and unheard autistic clients that come into their office." — Kim Clairy, OTR/L, autistic occupational therapist "Is This Autism? presents current autism research and relevant clinical guidance within an affirming, easy-to-understand framework." — Jeremy Sharp, PhD, licensed psychologist and host of The Testing Psychologist podcast"This amazing book is an indispensable tool for helping clinicians and parents understand and identify the less obvious presentations of autism. It is filled with practical wisdom rooted in the authors’ personal and clinical experience, as well as their enormous respect for neurodiversity. I’ve learned a ton that will make me a better psychologist!" — William Stixrud, PhD, clinical neuropsychologist and co-author, The Self-Driven Child and What Do You Say?"This groundbreaking book will revolutionize the way we think about autism. Well researched and well organized, Drs. Henderson and Wayland have created a definitive text that specifies and widens the lens through which we understand autism. This should be required reading for all professionals and lay people who want to understand the world of neurodiversity." — Dr Rita Eichenstein, neuropsychologist and author of Not What I Expected; Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children"Do you know what autism looks like in your neighbor, teacher, coworker, or aunt? An abundance of quotes and real-life examples bring neurodiversity to life in this exceptional book that does not disappoint." — Theresa M. Regan, PhD, author of Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults"Is This Autism? is revolutionary in its empowering messages for clinicians and for individuals with autistic brains, alike. Drs. Henderson and Wayland are clearly changing the conversation about how autism is understood and diagnosed, and the world is a better place for it. If you have any interest in autism (and even if you don’t!), this book is truly a must-read! I assure you: You have never read another one like it." — Karin Varblow, MD, pediatrician"Is This Autism? takes you on a personally guided tour into the hearts and souls of autistics. With the knowledge that Donna Henderson and Sarah Wayland have harvested from decades of personal and professional work, they convey the many twists and turns of the developmental journey of autistics. One phrase stuck with me in particular: 'A sense of belonging.' This desire to be validated for who we are – no matter how we show up in the world – lies at the deepest core of every human’s longing. Henderson and Wayland show us – with compassion and inclusivity – not only how to be informed about autistics, but how to be wise as well. With solid research, practical suggestions, and moving narratives from the experts who live the neurodivergent journey, we are invited to understand that only by knowing what is on the inside, can we – as professionals and family members – help on the outside. This book will become an essential guide for those of us committed to creating a world that adapts to and celebrates the unique experiences of autistics." — Rick Silver, MD, psychiatrist, founder, and director, The THRIVE CenterTable of ContentsPart one: What can autism actually look like? 1.

Book SynopsisHave you ever looked at a heavy volume on neuropsychology and wondered what it would actually be like to become a professional clinician, working every day with neurological patients in a busy hospital while simultaneously learning your craft? This book tells the story of that journey. The Notebook of a New Clinical Neuropsychologist vividly details the experience of starting work in clinical neuropsychology, exploring early-career learning and development through an intimate, case-based approach. Topics include the learning of basic clinical skills and knowledge, counter-transference, the clinician's emotional experiences, ethical and moral dilemmas, and the development of clinical reasoning. The book is structured around individual studies from the author's early caseload, with each vignette containing the relevant neuropathology, clinical presentation, history, neuropsychological test finding and other clinical data. Chapters are also organized around key neuTrade ReviewAt the beginning of this book, a young Rudi Coetzer asks a senior colleague for help: "How to resemble a clinical neuropsychologist, just a tiny little bit more as I go along?". This question is also continually asked by my students. This excellent book provides an answer and will help students and young professionals develop. A mixture of sound theoretical knowledge, experience, understanding, and most importantly, deep clinical wisdom, this is a great and highly-needed book for young and more experienced psychologists alike. (Sanna Koskinen, Clinical neuropsychologist, University lecturer, PhD, University of Helsinki)This beautiful book interweaves the vulnerability and modesty of a budding new neuropsychologist with the narratives of patients as experienced from the clinician's side of the desk. What adds great weight to the value of the book is that Rudi Coetzer has remained true to the origins of his first cases and refrained from the temptation of choosing only the extraordinary cases – as a result his book is both remarkable and a precious addition to the literature.
