I’ve had an invite that I can’t help with, and wondered whether anyone one this list might be interested:

Oxford doctoral clinical psychology course have wondered if you’d be interested in doing the 2^nd community psychology teaching session (at the Warneford ) for the 1^st years again. It is on Thursday 16^th June at 10.15 – 1.15pm. I am still doing the introductory session so the second session is about more applied examples of compsy work, however anything you would like to offer would be appreciated. Could you let me know if this would be of interest at all and I can let Angela Fox at the course know?

Many thanks

Alexis.

Hi folks,

I don’t know whether people would label me critical / community… or the any of many other labels we could assign people on the basis of our judgements of their professional and personal position. I am a clinical psychologist as well as a lot of other things (some good some not so good) and I do care about how our society is doing as well as how individuals are doing; not sure really how we can do one without the other.

I’ve had some negative experiences of interactions via this list but I care about the issues discussed here. I think there is an important discussion to be had about who owns what space and who perpetuates what negative cycles. I also think there is an important consideration when one judges anyone depending on particular labels, even if those labels are professional ones. However because of previous experience with this list, I’m reluctant to get involved in an email exchange about it. If anyone would like to be part of a face-to-face discussion about these things, I would happy to be part of that. I could represent the DCP in that, if the exec. agreed to it, or I could just be there as a clinical psychologist who can evidence my actions being consistent with my words.

In the meantime if anyone would like to get in touch with about the clinical psychology fringe idea, do drop me a line separately on [log in to unmask].

All the very best.

This is a very important point. at the very least there should be an acknowledgement that someone like Alex Haslam (basically a social psychologist) is not claiming to be involved in community psychology from any kind of critical perspective. It is very hard to keep on the agenda the issue that clinical psychology as an institution might be part of the problem rather than part of the solution (if the problem is why so many people feel worthless, powerless, anxious and hopeless), especially as clinical psychologists are all well-meaning people who want to help.

Should we be debating how the British Psychological Society Community Psychology Section and DCP might be having a role in defining what “Community Psychology” is, and the implications of this? Once the more radical and explicitly feminist Women IN Psychology group became the BPS Psychology OF Women section in the 2000s possibilities for a more feminist psychology which critiqued barriers between women as practitioners and objects of psychology foundered.

The attraction of community psychology for many of us is / was that it was NOT clinical psychology. Clinical psychology is a conduit for the medical model in relation to 'mental health', one of the most problematic manifestations of the mainstream psy-complex, characterised by 'normal' modernist, 'evidence based' scientism, largely decontextualised, depoliticised, individualistic, and so on and so forth . . . all the things and more which more progressive community psychologists used to be trying to get away from.

Hi folks,

This all sounds interesting. A bunch of us are working on a plan for a ‘Clinical Psychology Fringe’ around the 2017 DCP conference. The fringe would be a bit more arts and mental health focussed, along with a ‘Clinical Psychology Beyond the Therapy Room’ conference on the Saturday after the DCP annual conference. We’ve done a bit of planning and have some interesting ideas. Seems to make sense to tie this lot together if we can do so in a way which isn’t too bureaucratic. We’ve ideas to keep it simple and innovative (come to think about it, perhaps simplicity is innovative these days). Anyway, drop me a line if you want to connect up the dots – [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. We’ll be building this fringe to have a much more outward focus than the traditional DCP conference and I think the two will sit neatly together.

All the best
Ste

Also I think Ste Weatherhead has been thinking about something along these sorts of lines… talk with him too about this?

What about running a community psychology stream/events alongside or linked to next DCP conference. It is going to be next January probably in Liverpool. I would need to get exec agreement. Social Psychol Section are interested a joint event. I am not sure how Alex Haslam’s work is seen in Community Psychology circles. His social identity work is for me an obvious bridge.
