Alla har vi planer för framtiden, men "ibland kommer livet emellan" och ingenting blir som man tänkt. Gudrun Björklid hade en framgångsrik karriär som psykolog och psykoterapeut. Hon har arbetat inom såväl skola, socialtjänst som barnpsykiatri. I eget företag arbetade hon som handledare, konsult och terapeut. Vid 49 år förändrades hennes liv totalt. Hon drabbades av svår huvudvärk, hög feber och förvirringstillstånd. Hon fick diagnosen TBE, fästingburen hjärninflammation.

This comprehensively updated second edition features major revisions, 24 new chapters and more than 40 new authors, reflecting both the advances and key challenges within the field. Offering a systematic guide to the management of children and adults with severe traumatic brain injury throughout the entire chain of care, it includes evidence-based recommendations for each diagnostic and therapeutic measure, together with tips, tricks and pitfalls. The authors are all highly experienced clinicians and researchers who work with neurotrauma patients on a daily basis, and the editors represent the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee. The book helps professionals provide more systematic and higher-quality care in prehospital settings, primary hospitals, neurosurgical departments, neurointensive care units, and rehabilitation facilities. It is intended for all healthcare personnel involved in the multidisciplinary management of patients with head injuries, especially those in emergency care, neurosurgery, anesthesiology, radiology, and rehabilitation.
In contrast to most studies of minority, majority relations, the author does not focus on minority groups but on the conventional wisdom of the politically dominant majority population. The essays cover a range of themes, from individualised identification and the struggle to achieve a 'sustainable self-image' to national belonging and 'race thinking'. She argues that social actors construct racial and national boundaries by drawing on everyday-life experiences. This is how racial prejudice can become 'plausible prejudice?'.
