Full Description
Brain Injury, Trauma and Loss tells the story of the
impact of Covid- 19 on neurorehabilitation.
It offers a unique dual perspective as it intertwines the
two voices of Sue Williams, who had sustained a traumatic
brain injury in 2018, and Rudi Coetzer, her neuropsychologist
during the pandemic. Based on detailed
diary extracts, therapeutic notes and updates (edited to
preserve confidentiality), this book provides a unique
insight into the practical and psychological effects of
Covid- 19 on brain injury and rehabilitation, ranging
from the impact on delivering clinical rehabilitation sessions
and self- directed approaches, to the effect on daily
living, social isolation, and online integration. The final
section on 'reflections' contributes to the current wider
knowledge on how to improve practice in brain injury
rehabilitation for patients, families and clinicians. The
detailed account of changes in service delivery provides
a window into what kind of adaptations can be made
in clinical practices, highlighting the need to question
existing practices and look for creative methods in
delivering rehabilitation services.
This is valuable reading for clinical neuropsychologists
who experienced changes in their work both during
and since the pandemic, as well as speech therapists,
occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and brain
injury survivors, their families, and friends.
