At a time of contested realities and a renewed focus on the power
of personal stories, narrative research is as relevant as ever. But
while it has been praised for âgiving voiceâ to individuals and
highlighting how they make sense of the social world, critics are
starting to question which voices are being heard, or allowed to
speak, and which experiences are made to count. Supported by the
editorsâ popular podcast Narrative Now, this interdisciplinary
volume addresses timely concerns about representation, power,
voice, and the ethics of storytelling. Contributors explore the
capacities and limitations of narrative research, and map out new
directions for the field while honouring its legacy.
A comprehensive and practical guide to dementia, this book is
essential reading for anyone who has a friend or relative with the
condition. This updated edition reflects new guidance on approaches
to supporting people with dementia, focussing especially on the UK,
and includes quotes from people with dementia as well as from
family carers. The book explores each stage of the journey people
with dementia face and explains how it affects the person, as well
as those around them both at home and in residential settings. It
shows how best to offer support and where to get professional and
informal assistance. Focussing on the progressive nature of
dementia and the issues that can arise as a result, it gives
practical advice that can help to ensure the best possible quality
of life both for the person with dementia and the people around
them.
Over the past decade health care systems around the world have
placed increasing importance on the relationship between patient
choice and clinical decision-making. In the years since the
publication of the second edition of Shared Decision Making in
Health Care, there have been significant new developments in the
field, most notably in the US where 'Obamacare' puts shared
decision making (SDM) at the centre of the 2009 Affordable Care
Act. This new edition explores shared decision making by examining,
from practical and theoretical perspectives, what should comprise
an effective decision-making process. It also looks at the benefits
and potential difficulties that arise when patients and clinicians
share health care decisions. Written by leading experts from around
the world and utilizing high quality evidence, the book provides an
up-to-date reference with real-word context to the topics
discussed, and in-depth coverage of the practicalities of
implementing and teaching SDM. The breadth of information in Shared
Decision Making in Health Care makes it an essential resource for
policy-makers and health care workers. As health care systems adapt
to increasingly collaborative patient-clinician care frameworks,
this will also prove a useful guide to SDM for clinicians of all
disciplines.
'2021's most important book about sex.' Stylist 'You need to read
this.' Mashable A bad sexual experience. A grey area. Not rape
but... A violation - these are the terms we use to describe the
experiences we don't have words for. The way we talk about topics
such as sex, consent, assault aren't fit for purpose. Rough is a
revolutionary non-fiction work exploring the narratives of sexual
violence that we don't talk about. Through powerful testimony from
50 women and non-binary people, this book shines a light on the
sexual violence that takes place in our bedrooms and beyond,
sometimes at the hands of people we know, trust, or even love.
Rough investigates violations such as 'stealthing,' non-consensual
choking, and non-consensual rough sex acts that our culture is only
starting to recognise as sexual violence. The book explores the
ways in which systems of oppression manifest in our sexual culture
- from racist microaggressions, to fatphobic acts of aggression,
and ableist dehumanising behaviour. An intersectional,
sex-positive, kink-positive work, the book also examines how white
supremacy, transphobia, biphobia, homophobia, and misogyny are
driving forces behind sexual violence. Rough is an urgent, timely
call for change to the systems that oppress us all. It's time for a
societal shift. As individuals with agency within our sexual
culture we have the power to remodel our behaviour and this book
shows us how. Praise for Rough 'An incredible investigation into a
frighteningly common part of our sexual experience; determined to
give ownership back to those who have had their agency stolen from
them.' Dr Fern Riddell 'Unflinching. Important, thought-provoking
read.' Nataliya Deleva 'Rough speaks to how many women often feel
after sexual encounters - violated but unsure of exactly why, and
whether our feelings are valid. This book is excellent and
demonstrating just how valid those feelings are, and how the
cultures of violence within sex that have been normalised intersect
with wider systems of patriarchy, racism and misogyny.' Adele
