It describes the research method adopted to study these methods with the resulting 'common denominators' found in practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49589293449489,"sku":"GOR008073451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1906510512.jpg?v=1750899981"},{"product_id":"recovery-from-autism-book-jennifer-poole-9781789015911","title":"Recovery from Autism","description":"“Autism\/ASD is generally considered to be a ‘lifelong’ condition. However In the last 5 years or so it has been found that some children can ‘lose’ their diagnoses. That is: they can ‘recover’. Researchers do not yet know how this can happen, given the current genetic theory of autism. However, it is not a new phenomenon. In 1974 Ann - a young girl diagnosed with autism - was recovered by her parents and her story published as a book. Hers was the first such account and it described a ‘homemade’ form of behaviour modification which Ann’s parents devised for themselves when no other help was offered. Since then, there have been other recovery stories, most of which have gone unseen or unrecognised. Given recent findings that some children can lose their diagnosis, it is time to re-examine these stories.       Recovery from Autism is written for the general population and is both accessible and of practical value. It examines published recovery narratives from a psychologists’ perspective. The author, Jennifer Poole, read over 36 such stories prior to commencing the book. After summarising the new, ecological theory of autism presented in her previous book, this companion volume examines the nature of recovery and what this term means to the recovered individuals themselves, and to others working in the field.  It presents an extensive resource of all of the methods and programmes which recovering individuals found useful, with any research available in their support. Finally, it deconstructs the recovery process in relation to the ecological theory of autism\/ASD previously presented, to account for why some children may lose their diagnosis, and which children these may be. It further suggests practical ways to help all individuals with autism\/ASD who may wish to pursue aspects of health and self-improvement.”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50158432616721,"sku":"GOR009810890","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178901591X.jpg?v=1751185190"},{"product_id":"democratic-duke-and-the-mystery-of-lady-shrewsbury-book-jennifer-poole-9781914280061","title":"The Democratic Duke and the Mystery of Lady Shrewsbury","description":"The Democratic Duke and The Mystery of Lady Shrewsbury offers a fresh, elegantly told portrait of George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham-the first full biography of him in over seventy years. Far from the reckless courtier of popular legend, Buckingham emerges here as a man of charm, wit and generosity: a patron of the arts, a political reformer, and a figure deeply engaged with the shifting ideas of his age. Set against the backdrop of a nation finding its way after civil war, this book explores Buckingham's role in the early stirrings of constitutional monarchy. At a time when the rigid certainties of divine right were beginning to soften, he championed tolerance, fairness and a more inclusive vision of society-qualities that lend him a surprising modernity. At its heart, however, lies a story as intriguing as any hidden behind the walls of a great country house. For more than three centuries, it has been assumed that Buckingham's great love was Anna Maria Brudenell, Countess of Shrewsbury. Drawing on careful research and a keen eye for detail, this book reveals a far more compelling truth: that Buckingham was, in fact, in love with the earl's first wife, Anne Conyers.  She was the childhood friend of the duke's own wife, Mary Fairfax who Buckingham and Mary helped to escape from her unhappy marriage before the Restoration. Blending political insight with intimate human drama, this is a biography for readers who delight in the lives, loves and legacies that shaped Britain's historic houses and landscapes-and in the untold stories that still linger within them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53616909582609,"sku":"NGR9781914280061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jennifer-poole.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
