This book combines autobiography and innovative narrative research
to create an original psychosocial perspective on the often taboo
subject of sudden, unexpected child death. Beginning with the
author's own experience, the book investigates manifold aspects of
sudden, unexpected child death, including the professional rapid
response; contemporary cultural reactions to death; theories of
grieving; child death inquiries and popular media reporting. At the
heart of the book are intimate personal stories, drawn from
unprecedented psychosocial research on this topic, which combine to
create a unique record of parent's experiences following the sudden
and unexpected death of a child. Additionally, the book offers
original guidance on the Biographic Narrative Interpretive
methodology, which extends knowledge of group data analysis. The
book will be of great methodological interest to the psychosocial
community, as well as to health and social care professionals and
lay readers interested in both sudden, unexpected child death and
the wider field.

This book focusses on the move to digitally mediated forms of
teaching, learning and practice during Covid-19 and offers a series
of case studies which showcase positive practices during this time.
Education, Health and Social Work services have all been at the
forefront of national debate since the first UK lockdown in March
2020. Schools, Colleges and Higher Education institutions moved
rapidly to online delivery, with educators, parents, practice
learning partners and students alike compelled to adapt to online
connection, disrupting previous norms and forcing a rapid
acquisition of new skills. In health and social care practice,
there has been a similar move to online delivery, whilst
maintaining consistency of service and support. The pandemic also
coincided with the recommendations of the national Digital
Capabilities for Social Work project, commissioned by Health
Education England, which produced a prescient framework for
professional practice. This book showcases innovative ways in which
practice and education have responded to the challenges of Covid
19. With ongoing debate about planning for the next pandemic, as
well as adapting to the post Covid landscape, the book is a
valuable resource for all those involved in health and social work
education and practice.
Worthy is a memoir of loss and the search for acceptance. Raised in
a Mormon household, Denice Turner strives to find her place in the
Church, longing to be worthy of her mother's love. When her mother
dies in a suspicious house fire, Turner is forced to face the
problems with the stories she inherited. Contemplating the price of
worthiness, Turner grapples with the mystery of her mother's death,
seeking to understand her mother's battle with chronic pain. The
story unfolds as Turner confronts a history that includes a Greek
grandfather whose up-from-the-bootstraps legacy refuses to die, the
ghosts of two suicidal uncles, and a Mormon shrink who claims to
see her dead relatives. In the end, this is a memoir not just about
loss, but about all of the fragile human bonds that are broken in
pursuit of perfection. Wry and extraordinarily candid, Worthy will
appeal to readers interested in the dynamics of family heritage,
Mormon doctrine, and the subtle corrosive costs of shame.
