Description

This book brings together narrative approaches and brain injury rehabilitation, in a manner that fosters an understanding of the natural fit between the two.

We live our lives by narratives and stories, and brain injury can affect those narratives at many levels, with far-reaching effects.

Understanding held narratives is as important as understanding the functional profile of the injury.

This book explores ways to create a space for personal stories to emerge and change, whilst balancing theory with practical application.

Despite the emphasis of this book on the compatibility of narrative approaches to supporting people following brain injury, it also illustrates the potential for contributing to significant change in the current narratives of brain injury.

This book takes a philosophically different approach to many current neuro-rehabilitation topics, and has the potential to make a big impact.

It also challenges the reader to question their own position, but does so in an engaging manner which makes it difficult to put down.
