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.
After nearly a quarter of a century's proving and research into new
homeopathic medicines, the dozens of new remedies that have been
developed by the meditation circle of Janice Micallef RSHom are now
presented in the form of a repertory as a desk top reference guide
for any homoeopath with an interest in expanding the horizons of
their art.
Colin Griffith, a member of the circle since its earliest days, has
laid out the book in a user-friendly manner to facilitate the
search among familiar and unfamiliar rubrics of symptoms for the
most well indicated remedy to a patient's condition. The
accompanying lists of comparable 'old' remedies ensure that
practitioners will not be tempted to view the new remedies as
exclusively remedial in cases that may seem to call for something
unusual.
There are explanatory essays on how to use the repertory, on the
association of remedies with the seven chakras and the 6 major
miasms and a glossary of remedy names in both English and Latin to
conform with universal usage. Each new remedy is also given a
characteristic essential 'thumb nail' sketch to act as an
additional guide.
- Essential desk top reference book for practitioners using up to
the minute homoeopathy.
- Fully compatible with existing reference books.
- A book that expands the horizons of homoeopathic prescribing.
- Covers new ground with its references to new areas as diverse as
the radiation miasm and chakras.
