David Reilly was born in Glasgow in 1948 and his book 'Oot The
Windae' has received worldwide acclaim. It is his story written in
verse, about being brought up the eldest of five boys in the city's
East End.
The playful bunny disobeys his parents and goes out to play in the
freshly fallen snow and meets... a not-so-friendly neighbour.
This is the story of how the Fearless Dragon, who was indeed
fireless, set out to prove that he was fearless after all.
This book sets out to restore the concept of healing to its place
within and beyond pain medicine, in chapters authored by keynote
speakers to the British Pain Society's Philosophy and Ethics
Special Interest Group. Exploring psychological, spiritual and
creative approaches, contributors reflect on therapeutic avenues
ranging from the deliberate use of the placebo response and the
importance of a caring relationship between patient and
practitioner, to the use of knitting as a therapeutic tool.
Barriers to the flow of healing such as practitioners' careless use
of language and cultural attitudes are identified and contrasted
with the need to understand the first-person perspectives of people
who are suffering. This book will provide hope and inspiration both
to people who have become disillusioned with conventional medical
approaches to the relief of their pain, and to health professionals
sadly aware of the frequent inadequacy of their efforts to help
them.
