Inclusion is Dead is a provocative polemic against the widely held notion that inclusion for all children and young people with SEN is both possible and desirable. For those with severe learning difficulties (SLD) and profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), the authors argue, it is neither.  Imray and Colley assert that the dominance of inclusion has meant that there has been no serious attempt to look at the educational difficulties faced by learners with PMLD and SLD. As a vision of egalitarianism and equality for all, they say, inclusion is dead.  The authors controversially believe that unless education changes, it will remain as a disabling institution that does the exact opposite of its intention. The book presents the argument that theorists of inclusion have failed to provide practical solutions on how inclusion can be achieved when SLD and PMLD learners are involved, as well as discussing the drawbacks of the ‘inclusion for all argument’. With up-to-date references throughout, Inclusion is Dead will be an insightful read for teachers and SENCO trainers, as well as postgraduates and undergraduates studying courses on politics, philosophy and society.

Description
 Silent Rituals of the Mind is about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 
 In particular it is about the more hidden forms of the condition: mental rituals and tics, rumination, compulsive thought patterns and unwanted thoughts. 
 It is an account by the author of his life with OCD, and the development and impact of the condition from childhood to adult life. 
 The book discusses coping strategies including techniques for reducing anxiety, exposure and de-sensitisation, diet, lifestyle and relaxation. It emphasises the importance of accepting yourself as an OCD sufferer before embarking on the journey towards recovery. 
 The author gives a vivid and at times raw account of severe episodes which have resulted in breakdown and hospitalisation. 
 Silent Rituals of the Mind also takes a light hearted look at some of the 'advantages' of suffering from OCD and discusses portrayals of the condition in the media, drama and situation comedy. 
 The book asks the difficult question: does the highly regulated culture in which we live contribute to incidences of OCD?
