Community Psychology and political economy
We explore a number of ways in which Community Psychology can become more attuned to political economy. Firstly we identify the paradigmatic connections between mainstream economics and psychology. Then we explore political economy as the context for practising Community Psychology, with emphasis on the ways in which the economic system and its power relations structure the lives of people in their communities. We examine potential cross-fertilis…
Consultation competencies in prolonged exposure therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder
Just as manualizing therapy has allowed for EST dissemination, the operationalizing of consultation competencies can provide a first step in disseminating evidence-based consultation practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Creating a national network of community-based consultants in prolonged exposure for PTSD
Outcome data from the first six cohorts indicate feasibility and effectiveness in PE consultant training. We share lessons learned in the development, maintenance, and improvement of our consultant training program. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
Degrowth
Counterblast to Robert Pollin’s programme in NLR 112 for a green-growth new deal, arguing that a radical reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions requires a smaller global economy. Proposals for a drastic overhaul of production, construction, transportation and agricultural practices
Community Psychology Under Colonial Occupation
These reflections are the result of a visit to Palestine in May 2013, at the invitation of the community psychology program at Birzeit University, near Ramallah1. We attended the 2-day International Community Psychology Conference: Global Perspectives, Local Practices, and also visited various urban and rural settings in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem. What is known as Historical Palestine was a British mandate after the defea…
Locked into the System? Critical Community Psychology Approaches to Personal Debt in the Context of Crises of Capital Accumulation
The considerable and sustained boom in personal debt recently has in many countries around the world led to experiences of over‐indebtedness that are associated with very considerable distress and suffering. This article explores critical perspectives that situate personal debt, material deprivation and suffering, and specific ways of knowing and acting, within the context of recent political and economic practices. There is a need to focus on po…
Culture, identity and alternatives to the consumer culture
This article explores questions of identity and culture in relation to the present systemic crises that confront human life on the planet, problematizing the pursuit of economic growth and consumerist culture. It uses the concept of Ideology-Action-Structure complexes to understand the saturating nature of social, political and economic domination, and then explores interventions in these complexes, which all have characteristics of informal educ…
Liberation psychology
Can a critical psychology be more than an inward looking critique of the discipline itself? Liberation psychology emerged in Latin America in the 1980s. It is a critical psychology with an action focus, taking sides with the oppressed populations of the continent. The originator of the approach, Ignacio Martín-Baró practiced psychology in the context of the El Salvador an civil war, himself becoming a victim of State repression. The consequences …
Keith Ewing, Bonfire of the Liberties
The principal aim of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) was to incorporate the rights set out by the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms 1950 (‘the Convention’). The HRA was conceived of at a time of relative peace and stability within the United Kingdom (UK). The issue of violence and terrorism in Northern Ireland, that dogged the previous Conservative Governments throughout their tenure, shifted from a military situation t…
Prosecuting Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a significant social problem that presents challenges for legal interventions. These challenges have manifested themselves in many criminal justice systems around the world, including the USA, where feminists have campaigned for several decades to get the problem taken seriously.1 The practical obstacles to prosecuting domestic violence are fairly well documented in the literature. Michelle Madden Dempsey seeks not so much to…
From parent education to collective action
The paper discusses the implementation and effect of group‐based parenting workshops oriented by the principles of liberation psychology in a low‐income, hispanicized community in Guatemala City. The objective of this initiative was not only to improve outcomes in the parent–child relationship, but to galvanize the formation of community‐based support groups that could have multiple ends. The theoretical foundations of the project are introduced,…
Decoding Valuing People
Government policy frameworks on the support of disabled people can often be difficult to 'read', as they contain contradictory elements that simultaneously support and confront social processes that create inequalities and oppression. Valuing People (VP), the UK government's policy framework for learning disability (intellectual disability), provides such a context for work that enhances learning‐disabled people's inclusion in community and socie…
Radical psychology networks
Movements of psychologists with a liberatory agenda have emerged in a number of countries. A guide and overview is offered here. These networks have not yet developed into a particularly strong movement. Some of the reasons for this will be discussed in relation to the contradictory role of mainstream psychology as both loyal critic and as resource for the ruling order.

Liberation social psychology
Liberation Social Psychology (la psicología social de la liberación, LSP) has developed amongst a body of psychologists in Latin America over the last decade. There has been no survey of the field in English, although some of the ideas are of relevance for those working with oppressed groups elsewhere in the world. This article explores the context in which LSP grew from the work of Ignacio Martín‐Baró and was developed by Maritza Montero, amongs…
The Verbal Community and the Societal Construction of Consciousness
Understanding mental health services
Two approaches (Wolfensberger and Scull) to understanding services for people with mental disabilities are compared and seen to make complementary errors based upon the reduction of phenomena to ideology or economics respectively. Approaches combining both areas of analysis are seen as necessary in order to state what good services would look like and to understand the contexts in which services form and develop. It is argued that Wolfensberg's p…
