Associating Internalizing and Externalizing Symptom Features With the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Brief Form (PID-5-BF) in a Large Community Sample
The Personality Inventory for DSM-5-Brief Form (PID-5-BF) is a relatively novel measure assessing maladaptive personality traits. We examined whether PID-5-BF traits are associated with non-personality measures of wellbeing in N = 661 Canadian adults in the community. Depression, anxiety, and perceived stress measures were obtained, as were indices of alcohol and cannabis use. Symptoms of depression and perceived stress were associated with all P…
The Garboldisham Macehead
The paper discusses the Garboldisham macehead: an unusual decorated macehead carved from red deer antler. The macehead was found in the 1960s deposited in a tributary of the river Little Ouse, Norfolk and is decorated with three spirals, making it especially significant. This paper reports on the analysis of the decoration using digital imaging, discusses a new radiocarbon date recently obtained for the artefact, and discusses its significance al…
She can see how much I actually do!’ Talking Mats®
People with dementia who feel included in decisions about their care show higher well-being and positive adjustment to accepting care than those who feel their family make decisions for them (Bourgeois, 1991). Most carers want to involve the person with dementia in decision making and care arrangements, but many struggle because of the communication and cognitive problems associated with the condition. Research examined whether the Talking Mats f…
The use of Talking Mats to improve communication and quality of care for people with dementia
Enabling people with dementia to continue to communicate their views, needs and preferences as their condition progresses is essential for development of person‐centred services and care facilities. This paper describes part of a 15‐month research project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. It examined the effectiveness of Talking Mats, a low‐technology communication tool, to help people with dementia express their opinions, in comparison w…

It draws on interviews with 15 people with dementia and 16 carers to explore their views about health and social dementia care service provision in rural Scotland. A further 14 carers of people w…

Improving service approaches and outcomes for people with complex needs through consultation and involvement
Services have not always catered well for people with complex needs. The term ‘complex needs’ is used here to signify people who have cognitive impairments and communication difficulties that present major challenges for getting one's views and preferences heard and understood, and/or who may not fit into traditional categories of service provision. Current developments in policy and practice, such as the single shared assessment process, emphasi…
