Despite the increased resources that have recently been brought to bear to improve our understanding of TBI, the developme
You can STOP SEARCHING for your 'spiritual path' because YOU'RE ON IT! This book contains observations and bits of awareness that I have gained from the hundreds of self-help and spiritually-focused guests I have had on my Bringing Inspiration To Earth Show. Some of the Insights include: * The Law of Dis-traction * It's All About ME ... and My Choices * Well, What Do You Expect? * Ungrateful So-and-So * Leave Your Judgments at the Door * Forget the So-Called 'Experts' * It's No Coincidence * In Your Dreams * Thank God for Unanswered Prayers Also included are 60 Actions I (and show guests) have taken to make life better and less stressful, based on those observations. Some may work for you, some may not. But even if there is ONLY ONE action that you take to improve your life experience, then the time you spend reading this book will have been worth while.
“I did not want anyone to ever feel as disorientated and bewildered as I did.” Unlocking my Brain: Through the labyrinth of Acquired Brain Injury brings to life Christine’s personal experience of brain injury - from losing her vision and being unable to walk, talk or write, Christine regained her life, her thoughts and her career. In 1991 Christine was involved in a horrific car accident and suffered extensive injuries including Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). Unlocking my Brain shows the incredible plasticity of the human brain as well as the plasticity of the human spirit. An educator by training, Christine Durham taught at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School for over twenty years and was a founding member of VAPS, an education program aimed to enrich the thinking and understanding of students. Determined to return to teaching, Christine developed and conducted over 4 000 Philosophy and Thinking workshops with her students and started her career as one of Australia’s most inspirational writers. At aged 67, despite her double vision, Christine obtained a PhD in Health Sciences and discovered even more effective ways to help people with brain injury help themselves.

Leahy, Ph.D., LPC, CRC Office of Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Michigan State University "This is an excellent book, but the best parts are the stories of the disabled, which give readers insights into their struggles and triumphs." Score: 94, 4 Stars--Doody's Medical Reviews What are the differences between individuals with disabilities who flourish as opposed to those who never really adjust after a trauma? How are those born with a disability different from individuals who acquire one later in life? This is the first textbook about the psychosocial aspects of disability to provide students and practitioners of rehabilitation counseling with vivid insight into the experience of living with a disability. It features the first-person narratives of 16 people living with a variety of disabling conditions, which are integrated with sociological and societal perspectives toward disability, and strategies for counseling persons with disabilities. Using a minority model perspective to address disability, the book focuses on historical perspectives, cultural variants regarding disability, myths and misconceptions, the attitudes of special interest and occupational groups, the psychology of disability with a focus on positive psychology, and adjustments to disability by the individual and family. A wealth of counseling guidelines and useful strategies are geared specifically to individual disabilities. Key Features: Contains narratives of people living with blindness, hearing impairments, spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, polio, mental illness, and other disabilities Provides counseling guidelines and strategies specifically geared toward specific disabilities, including "dos and don'ts" Includes psychological and sociological research relating to individual disabilities Discusses ongoing treatment issues and ethical dilemmas for rehabilitation counselors Presents thought-provoking discussion questions in each chapter Authored by prominent professor and researcher who became disabled as a young adult
THE Prime Minister is under house arrest. The army is in charge. Spies are everywhere, and if you question the government there's a good chance you'll end up in jail. This is Burma in the mid-2000s and Alison Winward is there. But even in such tough times, she finds, there is more to Burma than misery. There's the people, of course - resourceful, resilient, resistant. And then there are the 'sights' - the explosive popcorn factory, a monastery's "jumping cats" and ways of donating to the pagoda that can probably best be described as poetry in motion, to name just a few. Burma has changed considerably in recent years. This book offers a glimpse of how the country was when those changes were little more than a distant dream.
