The Love of Art and the Art of Love: Brent Robbins and Arts-Based Phenomenology
This paper reviews Brent Robbins’ 25 years of work as an arts-based phenomenological researcher—dedicated to reshaping the field of psychology to become a force that awakens intuitive, embodied meanings of being-in-the-world.

Critical-liberation psychotherapy: Unsettling hegemonic power toward liberatory practice
Can psychotherapy support liberation? Critical and liberation psychologies have long critiqued psychology's relationship to power. Analyzing power draws attention to the inbuilt cultural assumptions and values that have shaped theory and practice in psychology. Mainstream psychotherapy, for instance, risks functioning to preserve rather than disrupt an oppressive status quo that contributes to clients' distress. We conducted a critical analysis o…

Digital aripiprazole as a human technology
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the first ever ‘digital’ drug, an antipsychotic (aripiprazole) embedded with a sensor (Abilify MyCite) that tracks data about drug ingestion as well as activity level and mood patterns. In this paper, we identify the financial and sociopolitical drivers that have facilitated the development and regulatory approval of a digital drug marketed for people with psychotic disorders. We explore th…
