Contemporary practices in mental health (and social care) are increasingly characterized by approaches that overly simplify social, political, and psychological concerns. The persistence and ubiquity of models designated to tackle diagnoses through focused technologies serve to minimize the human encounter in all its relational and systemic complexity. Practice becomes a technological activity instead of one concerned with the unique creative potential in meeting with others in therapy. With the growth of privatized mental health services, many practitioners are facing a plethora of "Must Do's" that focus on measurable outcomes, with clear goals and cost effective treatments. Yet, in practice, such apparent clarity of purpose often leads to bureaucratic clutter and risk aversion instead of clearing the decks for creativity. The focus of this book is how the practitioner or therapist can navigate around current practices in order to avoid falling into the rapids of quick fix solutions, whilst staying afloat to find realistic outcomes to human dilemmas that are brought to us.

Wilson, Jim: - Jim Wilson is a Consultant Psychotherapist with Foster Care Associates and in this capacity he also provides training, consultation and practice projects throughout the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Ireland. Increasingly he has been asked to provide workshops seminars and conferences about his approach to colleagues in Belgium, Germany and the USA. His publications span the last eighteen years, covering his interests in the training of family therapists and the enhancement of practice. His book Child Focused Practice: A Collaborative Systemic Approach (Karnac, 1998) focuses on the enhancement of practice with children in therapy. In his other book, The Performance of Practice: Enhancing the Repertoire of the Family Therapist, he turns to enlarging the scope of family therapy practice and the development of the therapist's personal style.
