Sobre este áudio
From a disadvantaged childhood to becoming one of our best-loved clinical neuropsychologists, this exceptional book tells the life story of Barbara A. Wilson, who has changed the way we think about brain injury rehabilitation. Barbara’s story shows how it is possible to have a fulfilling career alongside a successful family life, even when faced with the deepest of personal tragedies: the death of her adult daughter, Sarah.
Clinical and neuropsychologists will recognise Barbara’s influence on rehabilitation practice and her tireless aim to get what is best for people needing neuropsychological rehabilitation. It will inspire those with brain injury and their families who may struggle to make life meaningful, as well as encourage listeners to stick to their beliefs and triumph in the face of obstacles.

"Prof Wilson chronicles her rise from humble origins to world-renowned expert in neuropsychological rehabilitation in this fascinating memoir that will appeal to professional colleagues, people with brain injuries and their families, and all others who want to learn about a people’s hero". - Jill Winegardner, Ph.D., Director of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, Neurological Institute, University Hospitals, Cleveland Medical Center, USA
"In this book, with characteristic honesty and charm, Barbara A. Wilson tells the story of her full and varied life and her unparalleled career in neuropsychological rehabilitation. It documents missions to retain and develop new clinical services and brings about paradigm shifts in assessment and rehabilitation for people with brain injury world-wide, achieved through a combination of intellect, pragmatism, care and determination, with the unwavering support of Barbara’s husband Mick and family, and despite deep personal tragedy through the loss of their adult daughter Sarah. There is nobody quite like Barbara, and no book quite like this one. I recommend it most highly." - Jessica Fish, PhD, DClinPsy, St George’s Hospital and King’s College London, UK

The book also contains moving accounts of the grief and subsequent personal growth that occurred after the untimely death of her daughter and highlights the marvellous adventures of a "serious traveller". Written with great candour, honesty and passion, the book integrates her life with the social milieu of the time." - Robyn L Tate, Professor Emerita, The University of Sydney, Australia
