I'd think it would make a powerful point in your teaching sessions. Craig- I'm sorry but I'm not following your point. We have a system currently of mental health provision that includes clinical psychologists. Psychologists currently undergo a training programme that is, often, heavily based on individualistic theories that seek to locate distress as a disorder and locate psychology as a curative medium for that disorder. I think Suzannes suggestion is a good one; to take issue with these assumptions, broaden peoples thinking and open up critical dialogue at a point where trainees are about to take responsibility of such powerful roles. I'm confused that you seem to imply this is not good and belittle the idea. Are you saying that training sessions SHOULDN'T consist of this kind of medium for relaying arguments against psychology?? There are, of course, big arguments about the validity of psychology. There are also changes that we can all make in the system that we all engage with which, while relatively small, can work to bring about better experiences for those seeking help (and pave the way for the bigger changes).

I wouldn’t have seen it on u-tube unless someone had drawn my attention to it as I don’t regularly go to the U-tube website. ________________________________ From: The UK Community Psychology Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of CRAIG NEWNES Sent: 12 May 2009 10:28 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] anti-psychology/counselling/psychotherapy: a personal perspective What do you mean by "teaching"?

Thanks. In terms of teaching I'm guessing it might be OK to use as no-one may actually know. At our place people use images from Google etc and I'm sure they are not always copyright free. What our university have a problem with is these images being stored on their servers or electronic teaching platforms as this is seen as a clearer violation. Storing links to things is not a problem. Whatever the copyright position though in a case like this I'd be inclined to email the bloke and ask him though which would be more in the spirit of the kinds of things he's saying. It may be that he's happy for it to be out there (obviously he has posted it for anyone to look at). Thanks again John McGowan ________________________________ From: The UK Community Psychology Discussion List on behalf of Suzanne Elliott Sent: Tue 12/05/2009 9:03 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] anti-psychology/counselling/psychotherapy: a personal perspective I was told about this link which I thought people might be interested in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yxFRwRuPZE it's a powerful critique of psychology from personal experience of being offered counselling/psychotherapy. I think I might use it for teaching. Do you think I have to ask permission?
