This book focuses on improving the social and intimacy skills of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors so that they may return to society and establish relationships in which they will be able to function sexually. The information and the suggested methods in the book are the result of the authors? experience gained from working with survivors, their families, and staff in different rehabilitation facilities. The book will provide professionals in the field of rehabilitation with an understanding of the issue of sexuality after TBI and how to plan an intervention program at various stages of the rehabilitation process. Divided into two sections, the authors identify and discuss the problems relating to sexuality after TBI and also review the current literature on the subject. Professional and survivor perceptions of TBI and its physical and medical aspects are also discussed. The effects of TBI on human response is also included, along with intervention techniques with partners and family. Also provided is a rationale and framework for a sexual intervention program. This program suggests goals for sexual intervention, small group therapy, individual and couples counseling, and explores the use of surrogate therapy. Case studies on the use of surrogate therapy are provided, with the authors detailing the process, definition, and training of surrogates for therapy. Although the book is geared mainly for working with survivors after TBI, there are elements in the program that can also be applied to other disability groups, such as persons with mental retardation and persons with a psychiatric disability. It will be of interest to those who work with these groups, such as professionals in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, as well as rehabilitation psychologists and counselors. By reading this book, professionals will be able to contribute to the quality of life of survivors of TBI and their families.

<p>There is a little land. In that little land, there is a little city. In that city there is a little street, and on that street there is a little wall. When you stand by that Holy Wall, you can hear the footsteps of our father Abraham, and you can hear the trumpet of the Great Day to come. You hear the past and you can hear the future. You can hear the singing of the Levites. Or, you can hear us crying, going into exile. You can hear the six million crying out of the gas chambers, and you can hear the trumpet of the Great Day to come. I was standing one early morning by the Holy Wall, and I was saying Kaddish for my father. But when you stand by that Holy Wall, you say Kaddish for the whole world. Sometimes you feel like saying Kaddish for your own soul, and sometimes you feel like saying Kaddish for tomorrow. Then you hear the words Yisgadal V yiskadash Shmei Raba, May G-d s Name become great and sanctified, and you remember there is one G-d, and you know that the Great Morning is coming. You know that day and night will get together. The living and the dead, we and the whole world. This is my song, the song of tears, because on that Great Day the tears will march through the world, and the whole world will join them. The tears will clear the world and prepare the world. Everything will come together. We will all come together. It will be a new morning - a new beginning. In this remarkable and life-changing work, the reader is transported to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem to be inspired by the teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach zt l. Masterfully adapted by Rabbi Shlomo Katz (renowned musician and creator of the best-selling and acclaimed The Soul of Chanukah: Teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach), these teachings touch the soul.</p>
