This book offers an empowering approach to working with people with
an acquired brain injury (ABI) based upon the views and
perspectives of people with ABI themselves. Drawing upon Christine
Durham's own ABI experience and Paul Ramcharan's engagement in
disability research over a quarter of a century, this volume gives
voice to 36 participants with ABI, as well as carers and other
professionals from both urban and rural areas. This unique
perspective provides a long-needed, empathic alternative to the
deficit-based model of ABI that dominates medical literature and
existing rehabilitation models. In Insight into Acquired Brain
Injury, the authors use educational and learning principles
together with Durham's extensive archive of experiential data to
offer a reframing of the nature and experience of ABI and relevant
a set of practical, real-world tools for practitioners. These
ready-to-adopt-and-adapt scripts, guided interviews, research
checklists, thinking tools and other innovative techniques are
designed to engage with people and colleagues about brain injury as
a means of supporting them to feel and fare better. With compassion
and first-hand awareness, Insight into Acquired Brain Injury
provides a much-needed perspective that deepens current
understanding and translates the complicated life-worlds of people
living with ABI in order to motivate, empower and increase their
participation.
