Description: | Select Guide Rating Drawing from the author's own experience of surviving a subarachnoid haemorrhage, together with other people's journeys and recent research findings, this book provides a toolkit for survivors, their families, and health professionals Every year, 8,500 people in the UK will have a subarachnoid haemorrhage, of whom about 50 per cent will survive this traumatic brain injury which often occurs without warning. Survivors can make a ‘good’ neurological recovery but the psychosocial impact can be longer lasting. Drawing from her own experience of surviving a subarachnoid haemorrhage, together with other people''s journeys of recovery and recent research findings, Alison Wertheimer covers:
A Dented Image will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience: survivors and their families and friends; health professionals working with people recovering from acute brain injury in hospital and community-based services including doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other members of rehabilitation teams. It may also be of interest to people recovering from other traumatic illnesses or injuries. |
