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, while 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.There is a thread to the internal narrative
of the book as a whole. It begins with an exploration of narratives
within brain injury broadly, then moves to considering professional
interactions with those narratives. Once the context has been set,
the authors move to look at focusing clinical work through
goal-setting, and thinking about the issues clinicians or
therapists might meet, such as trauma, communication difficulties,
working with carers, families, and other forms of indirect work. It
concludes with a chapter looking at the journey of our work through
the process of gathering outcome evidence.
