The Rehabilitation Detectives is based on extensive participant observation of vocational counsellors and their clients. Higgins uses the metaphor 'detective' since rehabilitation workers are seen as sleuths and managers, trying to maintain a balance between multiple forces at work in the social services. These counsellors make the system work and 'look good' while serving the public. A succesful counsellor gathers, organizes, and uses information in order to change those 'vocationally handicapped due to disabilities' into agency clients, much as a good detective does when solving a crime. Higgins believes his research is applicable to all social and human service professionals.

Sure to be welcomed by the thousands suffering persistent pain, this volume explores what physicians often ignore—how psychological and social issues can influence health, illness, pain, and recovery. "Pain is everywhere and everyone is talking about it," says Dr. Hillel Finestone, M.D., a researcher and rehabilitation specialist whose work has been featured in publications as diverse as The Lancet, and USA Today. The key to understanding causes and solutions for many apparently mysterious, recurring aches, he explains, lies in understanding the mind-body relationship and the "real meaning" behind symptoms with no immediately obvious cause. Taking the reader into several diagnostic sessions to illustrate what he sees as a "detective" process to find the source of pain, Finestone explains how psychological and social issues can influence health and healing, for better or worse. Low back and neck pain, fibromyalgia and even work related pains are delved into.In addition to vignettes that illustrate the ideas discussed and show dramatic incidences of how healing the mind can also heal the body, Finestone uses unique and useful diagrams which explain how mind and body are physiologically connected and reactive to each other. In these pages, readers can follow Dr, Finestone through patient sessions and understand, step by step, how the "pain detective" works to help his patients—and perhaps his readers, too—find lasting relief.

The book highlights common mistakes and outlines best practices to help readers avoid making the same mistakes in the field. It provides the tools and understanding to conduct the range of investigations that today’s detectives will most likely have to conduct, including those involving sexual predators, healthcare and financial fraud, cyber crime, gangs, cults, personal violence, and property. The text concludes with a section on all-purpose practices and lessons for investigations. In this section, readers will learn the practical aspects of interviewing and interrogating witnesses, including how to interview and communicate with special populations, such as those with mental and physical disabilities.

The figure of the detective has long excited the imagination of the wider public, and the English police detective has been a special focus of attention in both print and visual media. Yet, while much has been written in the last three decades about the history of uniformed policemen in England, no similar work has focused on police detectives. The Ascent of the Detective redresses this by exploring the diverse and often arcane world of English police detectives during the formative period of their profession, from 1842 until the First World War, with special emphasis on the famed detective branch established at Scotland Yard. The book starts by illuminating the detectives' socioeconomic background, how and why they became detectives, their working conditions, the differences between them and uniformed policemen, and their relations with the wider community. It then goes on to trace the factors that shaped their changing public image, from the embodiment of 'un-English' values to plebeian knights in armour, investigating the complex and symbiotic exchange between detectives and journalists, and analysing their image as it unfolded in the press, in literature, and in their own memoirs.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bremen, language: English, abstract: The first chapter of this bachelor's thesis is dedicated to disability studies in literature, their development history, their theory and especially scholars' achievements. We will touch upon historical events regarding the disability movement until we move on to the most influential works of literary scholars. The fundamental shift in research questions is extraordinary and will be discussed chronologically. To narrow the main topic down, detective fiction is the noteworthy sub-genre. The differences between crime- and detective fiction are briefly discussed and conspicuous characteristics of this type of literature are summarized. In a shift of attention towards disabled detectives in literature, the main concern will be their specific position and their emblematic profit towards the fictional literature. How literature in general and especially detective fiction can benefit from inclusion and representation of disability will be the last point of interest before moving on to the main topic of this essay. Conflating the knowledge acquired, this thesis will analyse three of Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme novels. This is based on three categories to analyse how disability is represented in these novels. The chapter “Styles of Motion” will revolve around movement quite literally as the quadriplegic detective moves seldom or not at all as well as metaphorically in terms of moving through time and space in the plot. The subsequent chapter “Modes of Thinking” focuses on the perception of disability from the disabled character's perspective. How do they feel towards the disability and what, if anything, do they do to conquer it? “Forms of Communication” concentrates on the perception of disability from the outside, in other words, it will concentrate on questions such as: How do other characters address the disability and what kind of relationship form the addressee and the addresser? The concluding chapter will build the bridge between disability studies in literature and how the shift that happened in theory was implemented in practice, the phrase “Not Despite but Because” will be elaborated and the development of the character Lincoln Rhyme is analysed in context to the current main concern of literature disability studies.
