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.

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.

The first part of the Handbook answers the most frequently asked questions on homoeopathic treatment.

"The New Materia Medica" is a source book of information on 30 new crystal, botanical, and animal remedies now in use by practitioners of the Guild of Homoeopaths who proved them through the practice of meditation. These remedies, which have quickly established a reputation for remarkable success, are extraordinary for their depth of action, reaching far into the patient's psyche and history. The entry on each remedy gives a description of the original substance, plant, or animal in its natural state and an outline of its history, including medicinal uses, and traditional uses of the plants and crystal essence remedies where applicable. It also provides an esoteric explanation of the remedies' affinities for the chakras and the associated glands and organs plus a description of the general symptoms of each remedy and detailed descriptions of the mental, emotional symptoms and physical symptoms that affect individual parts of the body. It includes summarized case notes to show clinical evidence of efficacy and to illustrate the day-to-day use of each remedy and a list of related remedies to show affinities, comparisons and relationships.

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.
