Product Description
Review
The book is a good addition to the library of anyone interested in the broad topic of cultural psychiatry. It reminds us that the importance of culture and ethnicity is not only to be seen in the context of symptom expression, or even in that of prevalence of disorders, but in the equally important context of how and why we often respond or fail to respond to psychotropic drugs. (The British Journal of Psychiatry, March 2010)

Format:Paperback
This is a first; a book on how to intervene effectively with people who are seriously considering suicide, and a much needed addition to the Solution Focused literature. It can be used by both professionals, and individuals who may be contemplating suicide, their friends and family members.
In the introduction John says:
"Much has been written about the subject of suicide, but little on the specific 'how-to-do' or 'what-works' in the 1:1 relationship between the worker and suicidal person. This book concentrates on how lives are saved; what workers do and say that is effective, and what clients have said they found helpful."
John's successes in this area speak for themselves. Over the past 15 years spent developing his ideas, many healthcare professionals and former clients have come forward to attest to the value of his approach. And more importantly, many lives have been saved.
