Abstract:

This thesis examined the experiences of having a parent with a progressive neurodegenerative condition. An integrative literature review was conducted to assess the experiences of growing up in a family affected by Huntington’s Disease (HD), and a qualitative research study was undertaken to examine the experiences of young adults living with a parent with young-onset dementia (YOD), dementia diagnosed before the age of 65. Five young adults, between 25-36 years of age, participated in the study and semi-structured interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).

This study explored the experiences of combat veterans who faced challenges when returning home from a war zone, along with the experiences of their family members

Abstract:

Mindfulness-Based Therapies (MBT) are a current technology within the cognitive behavioural tradition, which can be grouped according to whether mindfulness is a major or a minor component. A mindful approach to psychological difficulties attempts to change the relationship with unwanted inner experience. The model suggests this may help reduce affective symptomatology. There has been a considerable growth of interest in these therapies with an accompanying increase in the evidence base. A number of reviews have been conducted however they have not comprehensively appraised these therapies. Th

The study nevertheless accepts that the field of engagement has been plagued with numerous terms, definitions, measures and theories.
