This book presents key principles of holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation, helping practitioners stay on track through complex terrain. Leading authorities Barbara A.

They describe essential strategies for assessing and remediating the impact of cognitive and psychosocial problems in everyday life. Detailed case examples illustrate the process of building partnerships with families, setting meaningful goals, developing skills and supports, and addressing emotional and mental health concerns. Innovative uses of technology are highlighted. Several reproducible clinical tools can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

This vivid memoir presents adventures from the life of Barbara A. Wilson, an internationally honoured scientist who played an influential role in the development of neuropsychological rehabilitation at a time when the scientific field was dominated by men. As a follow-up to the highly successful Story of a Clinical Neuropsychologist, this book includes a host of memories, both personal and professional, which focus on Barbara's development of her career as a woman in science. From childhood recollections and travels in Africa, to lifetime achievement awards and the restrictions of global pandemics, Barbara tells the story of her full and varied life and her unparalleled career in neuropsychological rehabilitation. Her book indicates that one can lead a meaningful and full life even after one of the most awful of losses, the death of a child, and also emphasizes the need to stick to one's principles in trying times. The result is an unparalleled insight into the life of a clinical neuropsychologist, which can encourage the next generation of professionals who are trying to balance career, international travel and family, as well as inspire any girls interested in entering the world of science.

Die Studie beleuchtet die inter- und transnationalen Aspekte der katholischen Geschichte Österreichs im Kontext der Habsburgermonarchie und ihrer Beziehungen zum Heiligen Land. Sie analysiert das Engagement der katholischen Kirche und den Einfluss europäischer Mächte im Osmanischen Reich, insbesondere das Interesse der Bevölkerung am "friedlichen Kreuzzug". Im Fokus stehen staatlich-kirchliche Akteure und Institutionen, die das Pilgerwesen und die Rechtsgrundlagen prägten. Die Untersuchung deckt die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Außenpolitik, Gesellschaft und Mentalitäten bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg auf, wobei das "Jerusalem-Milieu" eine zentrale Rolle spielt.
