Dear Carl, Mark and all,

Here's the statement that Mark was referring to:

http://www.bps.org.uk/news/society-presidential-teams-statement-mental-health-awareness-week

As you say, Mark, the new presidential team have already issued some strongly worded statements, for example on coercion of claimants to undergo therapy:

http://www.bps.org.uk/blog/presidential/psychology-and-unemployed

and on the Hoffman review:

http://www.bps.org.uk/news/british-psychological-society-statement-apa-hoffman-review.

I think that Jamie Hacker-Hughes is already working quite closely with Peter Kinderman (hence the 'Presidential Team') and personally I'm very pleased with the direction things are currently taking in the BPS. I think we'd be pushing at an open door much more than ever before with any suggestions for projects etc. Let's capitalise on the next two years as obviously we don't know who will President after that.

Have a good weekend all,

Anne

At the risk of being flippant, even the APA have taken breaks from waterboarding apologism to make strong statements on social justice.

Despite his background, he's been responsible for some strong statements on social justice. For example, as I tweeted from @LiberationPsyEn a few weeks ago:

A remarkably powerful statement on injustice from Brit Psychology Soc Presidential team. But can't find on web #BPS<https://twitter.com/hashtag/BPS?src=hash>; pic.twitter.com/a7mGFzuGfo<http://t.co/a7mGFzuGfo>;

Don't always judge a book by its cover....

Subject: Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes interested in preparation of troops for military operations

And in case you are wondering what a military psychologist does these days, here is a quote:

Jamie worked for the MoD as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist from 1999 to 2011 and has a particular interest in the psychological preparation of troops for military operations and in clinical interventions, especially early interventions, to minimise any psychological after-effects of combat.
