The Emperor's Nightingale: Restoring the integrity of the corporation

Robert Monks is known for his pursuit of ineffective management as a shareholder activist. He presents corporations as ever-changing systems of relationships between owners, managers, governments, customers and society, and shows success as the ability to manage these relationships.

Around 10 million people in the UK suffer from a neurological disorder, one million of whom are disabled by their condition. Neurological disorders that can affect cognitive functioning include stroke, head injury, multiple sclerosis and dementia.

Historically the emphasis within neurology has been on diagnosis. Now neurologists also have to train in neuro-rehabilitation in order to help patients to cope with their condition, and they increasingly work within multi-disciplinary teams.

The bulk of the book is formed of sessions plans for the six sessions over which the group may be run. The session plans includes a ‘script’ for the facilitator, slides and handouts. The introductory chapter will review the literature supporting the implementation of such groups, and the final chapter will go through some of the frequently asked questions.

"Neuropsychological Rehabilitation is a ready-to-use therapy tool that provides the resources required to run a six-session information provision/rehabilitation group for people with brain injury, their families and rehabilitation staff. It begins with a rationale for running such groups and presents a case for increasing the allocation of resources to structured information provision. Subsequent chapters provide a collection of materials that enable the professional to run group sessions. Information is presented session-by-session in the form of a 'script' and includes prepared handouts and slides for topics such as memory, attention and executive function. Individual sessions are suitable for stand-alone use, and a chapter covering frequently asked questions is also included."--BOOK JACKET While for many people involved in the field of brain injury - professionals, carers and patients alike - it seems intuitively correct that the provision of information relating to such a sudden and potentially life-changing event should be an important part of aftercare, in today's evidence-based and financially restricted context for clinical practice, this falls far short of constituting a sufficient rationale for investing resources such as healthcare professionals' time and room space (such a precious resource in so many NHS settings) into group-based education interventions. An introduction to the common cognitive consequences of brain injury and practical strategies for helping clients manage tem, the bulk of this work contains lesson plans for the six sessions over which the group may be run. The session plans include a script for the facilitator, slides and handouts
