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:themes of recoveryleaving neurocare and early days of recoverylooking for helpphysical, sensory and cognitive effectsthe emotional impact of subarachnoid haemorrhagethe survivor's relationship with family and friendsreturning to workwhat helped the survivors with their recoverysubarachnoid haemorrhage as a life-changing event.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. |
