This important book in the After Brain Injury: Survivor Stories
Series tells the story of four people who suffered acquired brain
injuries: Karl Hargreaves and Ashraf Sheikh as a result of road
traffic accidents, Lisa Summerill because of a stroke and Meg
Archer as a result of meningitis. Each person tells their story in
their own words, describing what happened to them, how they dealt
with it and how they experienced the recovery process. The cases
represent very different types of people and severity of injury but
are alike in providing raw accounts of the challenges faced whilst
also highlighting their resilience and determination to carve out
new lives. Alongside these inspirational stories are contributions
by friends and family, as well as several members of the
interdisciplinary rehabilitation team to give a broader view of the
whole process of recovery. By combining expert commentary with real
life experiences, this book points towards sources of support,
normalises the experience and provides a context for understanding
the challenges and successes in each case. This book provides
support, understanding and hope for patients who have suffered a
brain injury. It is valuable reading for any professional involved
in neurorehabilitation and students of clinical neuropsychology.
