> Interesting, Craig. I must admit I'm new to Community Psychology, not having a psychology background I hadn't heard about it until it was introduced by my supervisor. I do however have a background in youth justice, and feel slightly (actually - very) uncomfortable about the creep of mental health into the field. I will follow this thread with interest because I'm fascinated to hear whether you eventually locate what you're looking for...or better still, several!

> Thanks Clare, I'm ambivalent about MAC UK becsuse they seem to be fulfilling Sue Holland's prediction that taking Psy onto the streets would turn neighbourhoods into psychiatric wards (their "mission" is to make mental health the centre of interventions with young offenders). In Foucault's terms the clinic is now amongst us. I'm sure the young people like what MAC does (especially the music). MAC is similar to Imagine Chicago but I'm not clear if it began in the same way with discussions with the gangs themselves. C

> Thanks Scott, I have no difficulty seeing that anything involving people can be seen as 'psychological.' Equally Ecologists, Ethnographers and Phenomenologists might claim the human (and the environment) as their own. A good deal of what happens can be subsumed under politics and economics. What I'm after is examples of UK community clinical psychologists using psychological theories (of groups, suffering, whatever) that inform their practice C

> Hi,
> As part of the teaching on the masters in intellectual disabilities and developmental disorders at the Tizard Centre, Dr Julie Beadle-Brown, Chartered Psychologist and Reader taught a seminar on organisation change. This focussed initially on Gelicher's Formula (Dissatisfaction x vision x first steps > resistance to change), although David Gleicher is an enconomist, it might be argued that his endevours are really within behavioural psychology?
>
> The seminar then went on to teach about rationalist vs incrementalist approaches to change and the work of James Quinn (1986) with regard to initially creating awareness and commitment (need sensing, amplifying understanding / awareness, changing symbols, legitimising new view points, structured flexibility as well as the poliical aspects such as tactical shifts and broadening support), followed by solidification of the progress through creating pockets of commitment, focusing the organisation, managing coalitions, formalising commitment and eroding consensus.

> This was to aid positive change for the individuals through working with the systemic. If i'm along the right lines then the area of positive behaviour support could be considered as community work that is psychological as it is an integration of a number of different influences to promote empowerment and positive change for the individual as well as systemically.
