Alexis Brook (24 January 1920 – 7 August 2007) was a British psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
Alexis Brook was born in Chiswick. He was the eldest son of Simon Brook and his wife Ida (née Jansen), both Jewish immigrants from Latvia. The family home was at 27 Fairfax Road, Turnham Green. He was educated at St Paul's School, and then studied medicine at Cambridge University. His younger brother is theatre and film director Peter Brook.
He did clinical training at the Middlesex Hospital in London, and qualified as a medical doctor in 1943.
He served with the Royal Army Medical Corps from 1944 to 1947, in the later stages of Second World War and immediately afterwards, in the Far East: in India, Burma and Indochina (now Vietnam). His experiences in the war, of the effects of poor morale, led him to pursue a career in mental health.
After the war, he trained as a psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital in London and at Napsbury Hospital in Hertfordshire. He specialised in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Cassel Hospital in Richmond from 1956, and moved to the Tavistock Clinic in 1971. For a time, he was also a lecturer at St Bartholomew's Hospital. He retired from the NHS in 1985 but continued to practise as an honorary consultant psychotherapist at St. Mark's Hospital in Harrow from 1986 to 1995.

José Alejandro Suárez Martín (born 6 March 1974), known as Alexis, is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender.
He amassed La Liga totals of 195 games and seven goals over the course of eight seasons, representing in the competition Tenerife, Levante and Valladolid.
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Alexis started playing professionally with hometown's UD Las Palmas, by then in Segunda División B. Subsequently he joined neighbours CD Tenerife, making his La Liga debuts in the 1995–96 season as the Chicharreros finished in fifth position.
After Tenerife's second top level relegation in four years, in 2002, Alexis played a further season with the club before signing for Levante UD, being instrumental in the Valencia side's 2004 promotion.
After another promotion and relegation with Levante he scored a rare goal in 2006–07, in a 1–0 away win against Recreativo de Huelva on 17 September 2006, being an undisputed first-choice throughout the top flight campaign (33 starts in 34 appearances, 2,979 minutes of action).
Alexis (September 18, 1946 – September 7, 1977) was the pseudonym of Dominique Vallet, a French comics artist, best known for his work on the series Al Crane and Superdupont.
Alexis started working for Pilote magazine in 1968, providing illustrations and gags. In 1969, he began a collaboration with Fred on the series Timoléon, and started his working relationship with Gotlib on the film parody series Cinémastok in 1970.
The partnership with Gotlib continued for several years, leading to the creation of the magazine Fluide Glacial in 1975 where the advertising parody series La Publicité dans la Joie was published. In 1976, Alexis started the humorous western series Al Crane, in collaboration with Gérard Lauzier, and in 1977 he succeeded Gotlib as artist of the series Superdupont, written by Jacques Lob.
While working on the post-apocalyptic work Le Transperceneige, Alexis died as a result of a ruptured aneurysm on September 7, 1977. His final work was later completed by Jean-Marc Rochette.
