Abstract:
Background: Joint working between adult and child services has historically been difficult; the Think Family Toolkit was produced by the government in order to aid collaborative working. Aim: The aim of this evaluation was to explore joint working between services using the Think Family Toolkit. Method: An adult team, child team and service users were given questionnaires to explore joint working. Results: Joint working was described as something that would be useful but there were many barriers to achieving it. The child team did not respond to the questionnaire perhaps due to time constraint

Abstract:
Some of the most pressing problems of health care involve the presentation of physical pathology in the absence of physical disease. Psychogenic non-epileptic attack disorder (PNEAD) accounts for a small but significant proportion of referrals to neurologists. Management of this condition is difficult because little is known about what factors are important in understanding its development and maintenance. Mismanagement of PNEAD can result in inappropriate use of anti-epileptic drugs and neglect of psychological needs. This thesis contains 3 studies. Study 1 examined the psychosocial factors t

This thesis examines the utility of self-help for individuals with disfigurements. While variations in adjustment exist, research has also identified high levels of psychosocial distress, particularly relating to social anxiety and fear of negative evaluations. Psychological interventions have the potential to improve psychosocial functioning. However, owing to the stigma of disfigurements and gaps in services, psychological interventions are scarce. There is scope for self-help to meet the gaps in services. The first section is a systematic review of self-help for disfigurements. The aims wer
