Discourse analysis, especially on the concept of positioning, provides an understanding of the changes and developmental processes in these self-narratives. These narrative (re)constructions point to a developmental change of identity in the course of the different phases of the recovery process for both persons with ABI and their relatives, including conflicting voices from society, service providers, relatives, and other adults with ABI. In addition, the (re)construction process is characterized by much ambivalence in both ABI survivors and relatives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree perspectives are triangulated: (1) an insider perspective from ABI survivors; (2) an insider perspective from relatives; and (3) an outsider perspective from the researchers. This allows us to see how identities are negotiated and constructed in concrete situations. This innovative book will be required reading for all students and academics working in the fields of disability studies, rehabilitation psychology, sociology, allied health, and social care. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chalotte Glintborg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367728818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367728816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Chalotte Glintborg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086545301759,"sku":"9780367728816","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f25e0c01-db14-4c33-828e-4ffbbb479a8d.jpg?v=1769095288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-reconstructions-after-brain-injury-chalotte-glintborg-9780367728816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
