>Hi Paul,
Welcome to UK. I was interested in your info re cultural reuse and this has
prompted me to enquire of you and other people on the list re links between
community psychology and sustainability more generally. We plan to try to
enable the trainees to do some learning about sustainablility and think about
the relationship beween environmental sustainability and community psychology
as part of the Exeter programme Community psychology seminar series. We'd be
grateful for any resources/ suggestions that anyone may have on this? Any
ideas of someone who might provide some teaching?
Second, re arts and community psychology, this is a bit tangential, but for
some years now we have engaged arts therapists to run reflective groups for
trainees throughout training. we have had great feedback from trainees -
and, though we haven't done any formal evalutation, trainees tell us that this
seems an effective way to enable them to believe and trust in their own
creativity ( and hopefully then in the creativity of clients and
communities). I have currently started a training in playback theatre and
today a playback theatre group is going to facilitate part of our team away
day to, we hope, enable us to look at issues of diversity and how we may
celebrate diversity more effectively in training.
Warm wishes,
Annie Mitchell
Clinical Director,
Doctorate in Clinical and Community Psychology,
