Visual representation of change in self-identity after brain injury<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A huge congratulations from RTRU to Dr Emily Thomas who was, just this month, awarded her PhD! \u00a0Emily’s thesis is entitled “Development of a measure of sense of self following traumatic brain injury” and can be downloaded from the OUR Archive website (click here for a direct link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition to a number of conference presentations, Emily’s thesis has already resulted in one great publication (Thomas et al. 2014) and a book chapter (Thomas et al., 2015). \u00a0Another outcome from Emily’s thesis has been the finalisation of a new clinical measure: the Brain Injury Sense of Self Scale, which is a interval-level scale that can detect problems with self-identity after brain injury. \u00a0We are just in the process of setting up a new website to make this measure freely available.<\/p>\n

Emily currently works as a rehabilitation consultants for the\u00a0Solent NHS Trust in Southampton, UK.<\/p>\n
