La Téléphonie and the Universal Musical Language
ISBN: 9781936512416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Francois Sudre was a nineteenth-century musician who invented something long dreamed of by philosophers: a language based on music. For several decades he successfully demonstrated his new musical language throughout Europe to astonished audiences. No one ever reported a case where this system failed to communicate a desired text, regardless of the original language.

Recovery Beyond Psychiatry
ISBN: 9781853439230 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. David Whitwell's thesis is that it is not conventional psychiatric treatment that is key to recovery, but non-specific aspects of care such as support, safety, general health, good relationships. The author's conclusion is that recovery should be adopted as the goal of mental health services. Treatment then becomes just one option that can be used in certain situations.
