The Accidental Medium is the first book in a hilarious series from
Tracy Whitwell featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the
help of the dead, is about to become an unwilling crime-solver.
Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking, once-successful TV actress
from Gateshead, whose career has shrivelled like an antique walnut.
She is still grieving for her friend Frank, who died in a car crash
three years ago, and she has to find a normal job in London to fund
her cocktail habit. When she starts work in a 'new age' shop, Tanz
suddenly discovers that the voices she's hearing in her head are
real, not the first signs of madness, and that she can give people
'messages' from beyond the grave. Alarmed, she confronts her little
mam and discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums.
Despite an exciting new avenue of life opening up to Tanz, darkness
isn't far away and all too soon there's murder in the air . . .

Tracy Whitwell's second novel Gin Palace picks up with the main
character, Tanz, from The Accidental Medium, as she grows
accustomed to her rather unusual gift . . . Ever since Tanz
discovered she could speak with the dead, life has become a whole
lot more interesting. But after putting herself in grave danger
helping to solve a grisly murder, she's now determined to ignore
the voices and put all that nasty business behind her. So when
she's offered another acting gig in her hometown of Newcastle, it
feels like a perfect opportunity to spend some time with family and
have a laugh with old friends. But the dead won't stay quiet for
long. Soon Tanz is being drawn back into their world, and this
time, the danger is much closer to home.

and civic cultures, and a wide range of methods are used to analyse

Forensic neuropathology is an important specialty within forensic
pathology. In addition to traumatic brain injury in the adult and
child, forensic neuropathologists must also consider the role of
natural disease within the forensic setting such as cerebrovascular
disease, as well as neurotoxicology. Focusing on difficulties that
arise in the medico-legal context, the chapters include techniques
for the post-mortem examination of the brain and related
structures. Forensic pathologists, neuropathologists, general
pathologists, clinical forensic specialists as well as
neuroscientists, neurologists and neurosurgeons will all find
useful information. In addition, members of the legal profession
have found this an important reference work. Chapters have been
extensively revised and new content includes - Chronic traumatic
encephalopathy-related pathology - Sudden unexplained death in
epilepsy - Biomechanics of head injury - Updates on pathological
aspects of head injury including infant head injury with ocular
pathology - Clinical aspects of head injury and spinal injury
including a new chapter on neuroradiology Reviews of the First
Edition This outstanding book is unique. Well-illustrated with
high-quality colour photographs and line drawings, it reads well.
Strongly recommended for trainees in histopathology,
neuropathology, paediatric pathology, and forensic pathology, as
well as for consultants practising in these fields.

David Whitwell's thesis is that it is not conventional psychiatric
treatment that is key to recovery but non-specific aspects of care
such as support, safety, general health, good relationships. The
author's conclusion is that recovery should be adopted as the goal
of mental health services. Treatment then becomes just one option
that can be used in certain situations, for example acute
psychiatry becomes a particular set of procedures for dealing with
essentially urgent and dangerous situations - as a special kind of
first aid which needs to be fitted into the individual's long-term
recovery plan.
Los Angeles-based yoga instructor Mark Whitwell explores the inner
dimensions of yogic practice, focusing especially on clearing the
energy centers and meridians and fostering dynamic health.
Bringing together the latest research and theory about a child's
inner world and the impact of the world around them, this is a
guide to understanding and responding to the emotional needs of
traumatised children. Founded on the principle that traumatised
children do not have a secure sense of self and therefore cannot
relate to the outside world without becoming overwhelmed, this book
brings psychoanalytic and psychodynamic understandings of child
psychology together with current neuroscience and trauma theory. At
the heart of the book is an attachment-informed assessment model
and guidance for treatment. Professionals working therapeutically
with traumatised children, including therapists, psychologists,
psychiatrists, mental health workers, social workers and
residential care workers, will benefit from the wealth of knowledge
and valuable practice guidance presented in this book.
