This book provides an interdisciplinary understanding of Solution Focused Practice (SFP) and how to use the approach when working with people in mental health crisis.

The book takes a whole systems perspective, presenting SFP as a "common language" between different professional cultures and making the case for its use across all environments of mental health crisis care. The chapters explore the uniqueness of SFP, chart its history in the UK, and outline ways in which SFP can optimise client agency as well as positively impact worker wellbeing. Anonymised accounts of professional experiences are included throughout to give readers an understanding of how Solution Focused questions can change the balance of power within practice situations and provide inclusive support towards safety and hope.

This will assist a wide range of professionals involved in and working alongside the mental health system including psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, therapists, counsellors, and other support staff. We hope it will also be useful for service users.

Babelsberg Film Studios, 1929. A major new movie is in production when its star Krista Wolff suddenly disappears. The head of the studio and the film''s writer are desperate to find her. Each have their own reasons. Nick Perry''s suspenseful drama is set amid the creative ferment of 1920s Berlin, centred around Babelsberg Film Studio, the world''s oldest large-scale film studio. Out of the darkness of military defeat, political chaos, poverty and hyperinflation springs the phenomenon of Weimar culture, a defiant celebration of humanity and artistic expression in all its diverse forms. People flock to Berlin to be a part of the cultural explosion. Writer Jonas Beck, actress Krista Wolff and war veteran Peter X are among them.Jonas Beck . . . . . Paul ChahidiOtto Lenz . . . . .

A child in an East End garden plays with an imaginary friend. One day she goes to the bottom of the garden and never returns. A homeless man desperately tries to stay awake, believing that whenever he falls asleep he wakes up in a different century. A London Underground maintenance engineer walks the two miles between adjacent stations in less than four minutes.While travelling on the London Underground one afternoon, Alice meets the gaze of a man standing on the platform of a mysterious "ghost station". As her train hurtles into a tunnel, he''s gone. She''s convinced that the man was her brother Alan who has been missing presumed dead for the past five years.This fleeting encounter is the beginning of Alice''s increasingly bizarre, desperate and labyrinthine search for her missing brother, a journey that leads her back through time into London''s past.As Alice soon discovers, London is not one but many cities, a city of curious anomalies and dark secrets, of hidden portals to other dimensions, a city so vast and varied that the weird and the uncanny blend seamlessly with the ordinary, where the person sitting next to you on the bus, or walking beside you on the pavement, may in fact be a visitor from another time.Alice . . . . .
