Interesting work, you describe, David. 'Stirling work' made me smile... a
double-entendre? But whose interests would it serve to write it up?
Well, I think it would serve the interests of people like me, who are
working to bring community psychology ideas into our clinical work in
practical and meaningful ways. And also the people with whom I work, who
would hopefully benefit at the end of the day. I think there are issues
about the best vehicle for dissemination of this work...in academic
journals, or somewhere more accessible. Ideally both, so you reach the
widest audience. Some work that I was involved with (a group - with a mental
health promotion agenda - for mothers of young children in an inner city
estate) was written about in our local press, as a way to promote the group
locally, and acknowledge the achievements of the women who made it happen.
The development of the group followed on from my ClinPsyD thesis research,
so I am also in the process of writing it up to submit for publication.
Why not write about the wonderful things you are involved in? Where else
will 'young' psychologists like me find our inspiration?
