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

Book SynopsisThis book offers practical ideas on the combination of sensory integration theory principles with other evidence-based approaches in the evaluation and treatment of multifaceted issues in children with disabilities.Using the ICF Model, a Clinical Reasoning Model, and featuring numerous case studies, the opening chapters focus on the evidence for combining intervention approaches with diagnoses most often encountered in clinical practice. The latter half of the book covers the delivery of services using blended intervention approaches in different settings, such as the school, the hospital, and in nature. Featured are existing community programs illustrating the combination of approaches in practice. Appendices include reproducible resources, a guide to assessments, and approaches.The text will guide occupational therapists and other health professionals working with children and adolescents across a variety of settings in using clinical reasoning skills in a systeTrade Review"An exciting innovative new addition to the occupational therapy sensory integration literature. Theoretically sound practical case-based application to intervention. A must for the practicing pediatric occupational therapist." — Sharon A. Cermak, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA, professor of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, University of Southern California "This book will appeal to pediatric therapists seeking to enhance their clinical reasoning for the treatment of children with complex sensory conditions including neuromotor that restrict participation and diminish quality of life. The reader is taken on a journey that begins with an inviting overview of the holistic and integrated intent of the book and proceeds to a clearly articulated model of clinical reasoning. Throughout the journey, the model is applied to a broad spectrum of sensorimotor diagnoses establishing the importance of using a holistic and integrated approach to treatment planning and intervention. The journey culminates with a presentation of community-based programs designed to enhance participation and improve quality of life for children who navigate these multifaceted sensory and neuromotor challenges daily." — Gay L. Girolami, PT, PhD, c/NDT, clinical professor, Department of Physical Therapy, University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC)"I love that this book describes clear pathways for providing meaningful, evidence-based practice, without over-simplifying the complexity and importance of clinical reasoning in occupational therapy. As a clinical director, it is a useful resource for mentoring employees who are newly entering practice or changing their area of practice." — Cheryl L Ecker, MA, OTR/L, BCP, SWC, clinical director, Therapy in Action; co-author, Sensory Processing Measure, Sensory Processing Measure-Preschool, and Sensory Processing Measure-2, SPM-2 Quick Tips Infant-Toddler (User Guide)"For ten years I have been waiting for this new book - exactly since the moment I learned that its predecessor wouldn’t be updated. I loved the book about combining SI with NDT that helped me as a young clinician develop my skills in combining SI with strategies from other approaches. The new book still maintains the focus on combining approaches and practical relevance. It is a treasure chest drawing on the expertise of a plethora of master clinicians and scholars, mainly from the field of Occupational Therapy. Its richness addresses the fact that we see much more complex cases in our clinics today. A single approach usually cannot fulfill these children’s and families’ needs. I highly recommend this book to the OT and other health professionals who have specialized in one method and are interested in educating themselves about other approaches. This book provides clinicians with guidance on how to combine approaches with inspiration for providing the best individualized interventions we can. As I have learned from my friend and mentor, Erna, and her mantra for therapists, ‘Be clear in your head and eclectic with your hands,’ which is a principle reflected in this book about combining intervention approaches. It allows us to provide the best therapy for each individual child." —Elisabeth Soechting, MA, OTR, owner of SpielStudio and SI-SeminarInstitut; president of Austrian SI Organization GSIÖ e.V."Absolutely recommended. This is a clear and concise textbook that responds to what, why, and when to apply a combination of approaches used by occupational therapists and other health professionals in childhood. Based on evidence and clinical reasoning this work guides you to achieve the best intervention results." —Sara Jorquera, PhD, TO, director Centro de Atención Temprana y Desarrollo Infantil AYTONA, Madrid, Spain"This book meets the needs of students and professionals updating knowledge for evidence based clinical practice in Sensory Integration and other intervention models used with children with different pathologies. This book describes the importance of context and how to facilitate the creation of transformative environments so that sensations are integrated at different levels, from intrinsic motivation to the therapist's behaviors while facilitating active participation in occupations. Children teach us a different world; this book teaches us to improve that world." —Marcos Chiang, OT, máster en Integración de Personas con Discapacidad, director, Crecimiento y Desarrollo, adjunct professor Universidad Autónoma de Chile y Universidad Santo Tomás.Table of ContentsPart 1: Foundations for Clinical Reasoning; 1.

Book SynopsisThis innovative volume introduces Twinley's concept of The Dark Side of Occupation'. Focused on less explored and under-addressed occupations, it is an idea which challenges traditional assumptions around the positive, beneficial, health-promoting relationship between occupation and health. Emphasising that people's individual experiences of occupations are not always addressed and may not always be legal, socially acceptable, or conducive to good health, the book investigates how these experiences can be explored theoretically, in practice and research, and in curriculum content for those learning about occupation. Beginning with a discussion of some assumptions and misunderstandings that have been made about the concept, the substantive chapters present and analyse tangible examples of the concept's applicability. This ground-breaking and practice-changing text provides ideas for future research and highlights contemporary, internationally relevant issues and concernTable of Contents1.The Dark Side of Occupation: An introduction to the Naming, Creation, Intent, and Development of the Concept Section I Theorising the Dark Side of Occupation 2.The Dark Side of Occupation: Accumulating Insights from Occupational Science 3.The Dark Side of Occupation: An Historical Review of Occupational Therapy 4.The Whole of the Moon: How Our Occupational Lens Helps or Hinders Our Exploration of the Dark Side of Occupation 5.Ontological and Epistemological Considerations in Understanding Occupations in Extreme and/or Oppressive Contexts: "Doing Non Violent Resistance" in Palestine Section II Researching the Dark Side of Occupation 6.Homelessness and Occupation 7.Occupational Transition from Smoker to Non-Smoker: The Perceived Consequences in Women’s Lives 8.Self-Defeating Behaviour in an Individual with Borderline Personality Disorder from An Occupational Perspective 9.Exploring the Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse Trauma in the Context of the Occupation of Work Section III Occupational Therapy Practice 10.Challenges for Occupational Therapists Working with Clients who Choose Illicit, Immoral or Health-Compromising Occupations 11.Substance Use and Recovery as Part of Daily Life: A Zimbabwean Perspective of Substance Use as an Occupation among Young Adults Living with HIV 12.The Dark Side of Occupation in an Eating Disorder Intensive Day Service 13.Occupational Engagement in Forensic Settings: Exploring the Occupational Experiences of Men Living within a Forensic Mental Health Unit 14.The Development of an Assessment which Provides a Practical Application of the Concept of the Dark Side of Occupation for Practitioners and Students Section IV Occupational Therapy Education 15.Occupational Therapy Sounds Too Nice: Reflections from a Recently Trained Occupational Therapist 16.The Dark Side of Studying at University 17.How the Dark Side of Occupation can be Instructed in a Course: Learning from Occupational Therapy 18.Not Everything is Rosy and Not Everyone Wants to Fix their Garden: An Australian Example of Integrating the Dark Side of Occupation into Curriculum for Final Year Students 19.The Value of Exploring the Dark Side of Occupation in Pre-Registration Occupational Therapy Education, Using Homelessness as a Case Study 20.The Dark Side of Occupation: A Conversation of our Evolution and our Future
