A Relational Approach to Rehabilitation

Thinking about Relationships after Brain Injury

By: Ceri Bowen,Siobhan Palmer,Giles Yeates

This book is one of very few books on the topic of family adaptation and relationships after brain injury. It is an important topic because of the unique impact that such a trauma can have on families. Whether professionals are working in the community doing home visits, or working in rehabilitation and care settings where family members visit, the issues are important not just to help family members cope in adverse conditions but also to improve outcomes for the people with brain-injuries. This book will be of value to all health and social care practitioners working in the field of brain injury and chronic illness (e.g. physicians, clinical psychologists, neuro-psychologists, social workers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dieticians, nurses).

The Elect Methodists

Calvinistic Methodism in England and Wales, 1735-1811

By: David Ceri Jones,Eryn Mant White,Boyd Stanley Schlenther

The Elect Methodists is the first full-length academic study of Calvinistic Methodism, a movement that emerged in the eighteenth century as an alternative to the better known Wesleyan grouping. While the branch of Methodism led by John Wesley has received significant historical attention, Calvinistic Methodism, especially in England, has not. The book charts the sources of the eighteenth-century Methodist revival in the context of Protestant evangelicalism emerging in continental Europe and colonial North America, and then proceeds to follow the fortunes in both England and Wales of the Calvinistic branch, to the establishing of formal denominations in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Disease-related Malnutrition

An Evidence-based Approach to Treatment

By: Rebecca J. Stratton,Ceri J. Green,Marinos Elia

Disease-related malnutrition is a global public health problem. The consequences of disease-related malnutrition are numerous, and include shorter survival rates, lower functional capacity, longer hospital stays, greater complication rates, and higher prescription rates. Nutritional support, in the form of oral nutritional supplements or tube feeding, has proven to lead to an improvement in patient outcome. This book is unique in that it draws together the results of numerous different studies that demonstrate the benefits of nutritional support and provides an evidence base for it. It also discusses the causes, consequences, and prevalence of disease-related malnutrition, and provides insights into the best possible use of enteral nutritional support.

Shakespeare and the Play Scripts of Private Prayer

By: Ceri Sullivan

Explores drama and private prayer from 1580 to 1640, when prayer was considered a dynamic, creative practice. It analyses moments in which private prayer was staged in Shakespeare's history plays to argue that private prayers are play scripts and to recognise how this understanding affects how prayers in the plays were played and received.

George Herbert and the Business of Practical Piety

Nudging Towards God

By: Ceri Sullivan

Contemporary nudge theory points out that people make good choices over issues where they have had past experience of similar circumstances, where there is reliable, substantial, and relevant information about the situation, and where they will get prompt feedback about the effect of their decision. Yet none of these conditions apply to the most vital choice of action facing early modern Protestants: how can they be saved? In George Herbert and the Business of Practical Piety, Ceri Sullivan uses nudge theory to show how practical divinity disregards the doleful conclusions of predestination--that salvation cannot be earned--to supply readers with suggestions on how to prepare to act, regardless of their final destiny. Such texts create cognitive niches to support cheerful, godly thought and action, in a way which is far from being despairing or compulsive. Their nudges were repeatedly put into practice by Herbert's friends, the Ferrars, who tried to form an ideal religious community at Little Gidding. These prescriptions and examples illustrate how George Herbert's The Temple (1633) is a compendium of the techniques of choice architecture. Herbert's poems are full of the humour emerging from a life of faith which is willing to guard high ideals by low cunning, stooping to use the least little things to change a self. George Herbert and the Business of Practical Piety initially calls on theories of the extended mind to ask what sort of minor physical and social structures scaffold decisions, then examines a selection of nudges used by Herbert: contracts with the self, building a mind, cleaning a heart, conversing with God, making to-do lists, and working on working well.

A Relational Approach to Rehabilitation

Thinking about Relationships After Brain Injury

By: Ceri Bowen,Síobhán Palmer,Giles Yeates

This book is a welcome addition to the brain injury literature. It is timely, thoughtful, comprehensive and important. The tide has been turning in neuro-rehabilitation, with growing awareness that brain injuries do not simply happen to individuals but also their families and the broader community. Each person's ability to function effectively is defined within this context. The authors tackle the complexities of brain impairment from neuropathology through to rehabilitation from a contextual framework. Their focus on interventions embraces a spectrum of systemic approaches with clear relevance to acquired brain injury. This book is a wonderful resource for clinicians and researchers interested in holistic rehabilitation.'-Sky McDonald, Professor, University of New South Wales, Australia 'Brain injury is a sudden, unexpected and highly devastating event - not only for the individual with the injury û but also for his/her relations, be it on a couple, family or community level. This inevitably requires these individuals to make (often major) adjustments. Undeniably thus, brain injury professionals must not only "intervene" on an individual level, but also on a relational level. Adding a relational element to neuro-rehabilitation makes perfect sense û our identities, functions, roles, and so on, are continuously being defined by our social interactions. In their book, Bowen, Yeates and Palmer convincingly provide the framework for such a "relational neuropsychology" or "relational neuro-rehabiliation" approach. This is followed by chapters devoted to specific interventions, where numerous case examples are provided in a clear, detailed and highly instructive manner. The book concludes with a critique of existing research and provides suggestions for future research. It is well-written and accessible, yet scholarly. The authors are able to present ideas and models from a wide variety of intellectual traditions - including systemic family therapy, second-order cybernetics, communication theory and social constructivism. It is about time that such a book is available. If brain injury professionals read this book, which I urgently encourage they do, it will undoubtedly change the way they think and work. As a consequence, the book is also likely to alter the nature of the domain of neurorehabilitation.'-Frank Lar°i PhD, University of LiFge, Belgium 'This book breaks new ground, providing the most sustained exploration of how family systems theories (ranging From psychoanalytic perspectives to post-modernist Milan) can be synthesised with neuro-behavioural and neuropsychological approaches to produce a relational approach to neuro-rehabilitation. The authors draw upon a rich array of empirical research, theoretical frameworks and clinical experience to outline their approach, interwoven with case illustrations, practice models and therapeutic strategies. The book will be an invaluable resource to psychologists, social workers, family therapists and all other professionals who have an interest in relational approaches to neuro-rehabilitation.'-Grahame Simpson PhD, Research Team Leader/Social WorkerûClinical Specialist, Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit, Liverpool Hospital, Sydney, Australia 'This is a profound "bridge-building" book. It crosses bridges and connects together professionals with diverse training and vastly different skill sets; family members picking up their lives following the crisis of brain trauma; and traditionally competing psychotherapeutic models and theoretical frameworks. Neuro-rehabilitation clinicians and other health and welfare service providers will know when they read this book that the complexity of their task in assisting families dealing with acquired brain injury has been deeply understood. In an eclectic and integrative guide replete with clinical wisdoms in working with individuals, couples, families and communities there is much to engage those starting clinical careers and those in the prime of their working lives -relationships do matter!'-Dr Amaryll Perlesz, Associate Professor, The Bouverie Centre, La Trobe University, Australia
