Book SynopsisMost chronically and terminally ill patients are cared for in their own homes by family and friends, rather than in hospitals or hospices. These carers are an invaluable free resource and there is an increasing amount of research into their role and the experiences in caring for the terminally ill, patients with cancer and patients with other chronic diseases. This book provides a critique of the theoretical concept of caring, carers and caregivers. Material is based on empirical evidence from recent studies with adults with acquired chronic illnesses, including terminal illness. The empirical data within the book has been gathered from the perspective of those providing personal, domestic or emotional care to others already known to them by virtue of kinship, co-habitation or friendship, rather than carers organised on a professional or voluntary basis. This new evidence is used to make suggestions about possible ways forward within health and social care practice. Students in the fieTrade ReviewThis is a very welcome text that examines informal caring from a holistic perspective, exploring the emotional and social implications of caring and the impact of societal and professional attitudes on carers. Theoretical perspectives and research findings are integrated well, supported by plentiful examples of real life experiences. It includes a good mix of studies and each chapter is well referenced for readers who wish to explore particular aspects in more depth... The content is informative, refreshing and challenging to existing attitudes to carers and includes helpful suggestions for practice. I would certainly recommend it to students on palliative care courses and encourage teachers to give carers more voice in their courses by using it as a key text. * Progress in Palliative Care *This book should be recommended as essential reading for professionals engaged in aspects of care. * British Journal of Social Work *Table of ContentsBeing a carer ; Positive aspects of caring ; Caring and identity: the experience of spouses in stroke and other chronic neurological conditions ; A longitudinal study of carers providing palliative care ; Who is a carer?

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 SynopsisSensory motor activities are crucial for children to learn from their environment. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this revised edition is a complete package of tried-and-tested sensory motor activities for children, covering basic movements, interoception, sensory and body awareness and early visual perceptual skills. Providing an overview of the sensory systems, the authors offer practical strategies for parents/carers and practitioners to link knowledge to practice when communicating and engaging with a child. The authors present both familiar and novel activity ideas, explaining how they provide sensory stimulation to the relevant sensory systems and may help to support the childâs development, sensory processing and regulation levels. New material includes: greater emphasis on understanding the sensory systems and how they link to the activities a brand new chapter on interoception revised recording methods, including Goal Attainment Scaling as an outcome tool an expanded list of activities. Sensory Motor Activities for Early Development, 2nd edition is an essential text for all parents/carers and practitioners who use sensory motor activities in a playful way to help the development of children with a range of needs. It will be valuable reading for those working with children who do not initiate movement, who require help with their movement, who need to refine their movement, who need encouragement or motivation to engage in purposeful movements, or those who need activities to provide sensory stimulation.Trade ReviewPraise for the First Edition:"This manual is a useful resource for parents, carers and paediatric occupational therapy departments." - British Journal of Occupational Therapy"This positive book encourages all people working with a child to have fun and shows that one activity can be used to achieve several aims...would be a good addition to any paediatric department." - Therapy Weekly "The idea for the manual is excellent and it is a useful book to have in ay department..." - Sensor Net"The book is full of good examples, thus providing stimulation and practical ideas of how to use the activities/ideas given." - NAPOT "This book would be a useful addition to every paediatric therapy bookshelf." - Physiotherapy"It is always a pleasure to see a book which aims to take the mystique out of treatment" - Bulletin "This book would be an excellent addition to any library, giving a well thought out and coherent approach to those children requiring assistance with sensory development." - UK Federation for Conductive Education "The manual is a practical guide for the carer or the newly trained practitioner in Sensory Motor Activities for early development." - The Laban Guild Quarterly Magazine"This is a practical and easy to read non-academic spiral bound book." - Senior Occupational TherapistPraise for the Second Edition:"This is a very useful and practical overview of developmentally appropriate activities, with worked examples, reflective activities and a very thorough overview of the sensory systems and how they link to activities. The illustrations support the reader’s understanding of the activities and the spiral bound format aids its use in practical situations and in moving between sections." - Mary Mountstephen, SEN MagazineTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1 Working with the child, parents/carers and practitioners Chapter 2 Introducing the sensory systems and interoception Chapter 3 Stimulating sensory and body awareness Chapter 4 Encouraging basic movement Chapter 5 Promoting hand skills Chapter 6 Encouraging spatial and early visual perceptual skills Chapter 7 Working in groups Chapter 8 Using creative activities
