This book provides an applied, interdisciplinary approach to an
understanding of the key social determinants of health, essential
at a time of increasing inequalities and reductions in existing NHS
services and local authority budgets. A person's health and
wellbeing is influenced by a spectrum of socioeconomic, cultural,
living and working conditions, social and community networks and
lifestyle choices. Based on the 'rainbow model' of the social
determinants of health, chapters from experts in a wide range of
disciplines examine the key factors which can lead to poor quality
of life, homelessness and reduced mortality. Featuring
practitioner, academic and commentator experiences, and clear case
studies, this book will enable researchers, front-line workers,
managers, service commissioners and politicians to identify and
employ the most appropriate health, social and economic
interventions to support those at the edge of the community, and
the promotion of their inclusion in society.

Executive disorders represent the most common and most troubling
consequence of brain injury. These are disorders of the most
sophisticated type, and notoriously difficult to assess, understand
and rehabilitate.
This book provides a concise and accessible review of best practice
in the rehabilitation of executive disorders, that is, the ability
to plan and execute actions and control behaviour. The book covers
a wide range of approaches to the rehabilitation of executive
disorders including potential uses of modern technology.
The first section looks at theoretical approaches to executive
disorder. In the second part of the book, clinical advice is
offered for treating disorders. The final section looks at
professional issues, such as the impact of new legislation, risk
assessment, and the involvement of the family in rehabilitation.
With chapters written by leading researchers and clinicians, the
book provides a comprehensive guide to these complex disorders.
