This book is an exploration of key systemic and socio-political considerations when working with people whose lives have been impacted by neurological injury and those who care for them.
Expert contributors consider the impact of intersectionality across domains that include gender, sexuality, class, education, religion and spirituality, race, culture, and ability/disability. It offers relevant literature in the field of neuropsychology as well as clinical case studies that provide inspiration and key reflections for clinicians, neurological specialist therapists, and medical staff alike. Chapters discuss navigating intersectionality in couple therapy, hidden social inequalities in paediatric neurorehabilitation, racial microaggression in inpatient settings, and more.
This book is essential for all health and social-care practitioners working in the field of brain injury and chronic illness who want to challenge the status quo and advocate for diversity and inclusion.

Brilliant book and a must read for anyone working in or interested in a career in neuropsychology. As someone who has a keen interest in this field and in a holistic approach to recovery, this book provides some really helpful insights and suggestions into systemic approaches towards brain injury treatment, with some thought-provoking reflections from the authors and their experiences with real life cases. It does a great job of exploring how professionals can intervene at different levels of patient care and recommending ways to involve family, carers and third sector organisations in patient rehabilitation. It also encourages readers to think flexibly and creatively when it comes to considering non-clinical interventions (in addition to traditional clinical interventions) towards neurorehabilitation and how patients’ values can be brought to the fore here to facilitate recovery and maximise quality of life.
Lastly, there is a significant section of the book dedicated to consideration of inclusivity and diversity and how we can uphold anti-racist practice within neuropsychology, as well as other key responsibilities for neuropsychologists, such as leadership. Highly recommend!
