Research shows that people with severe communication difficulties -
such as severe and profound learning disabilities, autism and
language impairments - find it hard to recall and share the stories
of their lives. This handbook draws on fifteen years of research
and practice into personal storytelling in adult services and
educational settings. Storysharing is a unique, innovative and
highly effective approach to enabling the most severely disabled
individuals to participate in telling their own stories.
This book aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive
introduction to the subject of domestic violence and its
interaction with the criminal justice system- including agencies
such as the police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the probation
service and Children's Services, the courts and the prison service,
as well as voluntary agencies such as Women's Aid. The book also
looks at how these various agencies work together at a local level
and the coordinating role of the Home Office and the direction
provided at a central level. Domestic Violence and Criminal Justice
examines the phenomenon of domestic violence, the various forms it
takes and the theories that have been put forward to explain it. It
takes an historical approach to examine policy and legislative
developments over the last forty years and how those developments
make themselves manifest today. The authors provide an
authoritative and critical account of the different agencies and
the work they carry out both independently and jointly; they also
consider the limits of a crime centred response to domestic
violence. The book provides a conceptual framework in which
domestic violence and criminal justice might be better understood.
It covers all the current issues in this field and it will be a
'source book' in directing readers to further reading. It will be
essential reading for both students and practitioners in the field.

A practical literature resource for teachers and therapists working
with children and adults with learning disabilities, this new book
uses the context of Shakespeare's Macbeth to develop the skills of
social cognition. The resource includes practical activities based
on the play, a framework for linking skills of social cognition to
the drama activities, and case studies of the work in practice with
different groups. Through their understanding of the atmosphere,
the story line and the language of the play, people with learning
disabilities will be able to experience the pleasure and
intellectual stimulation of engaging fully with a literary text.
The authors explore the drama within the play and its key themes,
such as the tension between trust and betrayal, the origins and
consequences of desire, the nature of appearance and in particular
the problem of knowing what is in another person's mind. They show
how these questions are central to the process of forming a social
identity, and to the understanding of a `theory of mind'.
Participants are helped to develop the key skills of imitation,
joint attention and the understanding of mental states. An
essential resource for professionals, this book will enable them to
develop social skills with people with learning disabilities in
creative and effective ways, and to contribute to the move to bring
literature to a wider audience.
