This unique monograph, based on empirical research, used the oral
history approach to explore the careers of 31 intellectual
disability nurses from England and the Republic of Ireland; each
with at least 30 years' experience. We sought to understand motives
for such long service to nursing practice. Some had worked in the
intellectual disability hospitals of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
In both jurisdictions these have almost closed and been replaced
with smaller living configurations; subsequently few such nurses
have experience of these institutions. This makes it important to
hear their stories, which were digitally recorded; now forming a
unique collection in the Royal College of Nursing's archives. These
oral histories when synthesised with prevailing discourse of
intellectual disability nursing from literature, and research put
into perspective contemporary nursing workforce challenges faced by
these nurses in both jurisdictions. Their stories are testament,
amongst other things, to a strong 'sense of justice... doing the
right thing and making a difference'. Some reported a 'very early
interest in working with people with intellectual disabilities'.
And at 'journey's end' sadly, almost universally, they reported a
sense of being 'undervalued'. Their narratives articulate enormous
health and social care change witnessed over three decades or more.
But above all else they give voice to commitment, dedication, and
kindness to a vulnerable, and often marginalised people, those with
intellectual disabilities, as such it gives voice to otherwise
'Untold Stories'.
For professionals, home practitioners, students and teachers of
homoeopathy, here is the eagerly awaited new volume in Colin
Griffith’s authoritative and unrivalled The New Materia Medica
series. Drawing on ten years of testing by Colin’s group, here
are 36 brand-new homoeopathic remedies offering fundamental
solutions for the needs of our challenging times. The remedies
include Australian Sandstone for patients who need to rediscover
their personal mission in life, Beta Vulgaris for purification of
body and spirit, Bursera Graveolens to counter psychic
vulnerability, Iron Pryrite for creative spark, Picea Pungens to
support patients in understanding the truth and as a remedy from
toxic pollution. A common thread is that these remedies will suit
those who feel existentially threatened by the speed, mindlessness
and sense of fear that seem to characterize life today. The book
also reveals how astrology can be used to assess the hidden depths
of difficult cases, crucial information for the homoeopath that is
not available anywhere else.
Many people have found homoeopathic remedies to be safe and
effective and want to know more, keen to take responsibility and
participate in their own healing. Colin Griffith's book provides
the information required with authoritative and comprehensive, yet
accessible information, explaining how homoeopathic remedies work,
which treatments work for which ailments and when professional
advice must be sought. The first part of the Handbook answers the
most frequently asked questions on homoeopathic treatment. The
second part is made up of 27 sections, each covering a different
aspect of health, starting with Accident and Emergency and going on
through every aspect of the body and emotions, with suggested
remedial action, back- up suggestions and recommendations and
referral to other therapies where necessary.There are also chapters
on pregnancy, coping with difficult children, what to do when
travelling abroad and the importance of diet and nutrition. The
third part lists 50 of the most commonly needed remedies for acute
conditions that can be safely kept in the house and how to store
them. With information on diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and
cure, this is an invaluable addition to every home.
Homoeopathy is an extraordinarily powerful system of health care
because of its ability to treat people on all three levels - body,
mind and spirit. While orthodox medicine treats the physical body,
there are frequently mental, emotional and spiritual blocks that
might inhibit a patient's recovery. Homoeopathy treats the whole
person, taking into account their personal history, environmental
factors both current and historical, and their hereditary
propensity to be vulnerable to particular illnesses or conditions.
The practitioner will also cross-refer the patient to complementary
therapies, where appropriate, to aid recovery. This comprehensive
guide provides incontrovertible evidence of the importance of
homoeopathy and the energy of homoeopathic medicines. It is
essentially a practical book showing how to treat a whole range of
conditions and symptoms; it also addresses controversial subjects
such as immunisation and the use of mind-altering drugs. It answers
many of the questions raised by patients, with examples and case
histories.
