The trauma turn in mental health care
Trauma has become a dominant framework for understanding social suffering across contemporary mental health care and social welfare. The rise of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), presented as a progressive and compassionate approach to service delivery, reflects this broader “trauma turn.” In this paper, we examine TIC using the concept of psychocentrism. We focus on how suffering is increasingly interpreted and addressed at the level of the individual…
The Rhetoric of Lived Experience in the Scottish Government’s Policymaking
The relationship between evidence and policy is never straightforward. Notwithstanding, we should reasonably expect that policy formulation should draw on well-established bodies of knowledge from a range of sources, suitably analysed. In recent years, the Scottish Government appears to have given up on what was previously axiomatic by elevating knowledge from one source, that of ‘lived experience’, above all others. This has occurred with insuff…
When Care Becomes Compliance
This paper explores the rise of a new ‘etiquette’ in Scottish higher education – a governance-infused code of conduct that fuses a rhetoric of care, inclusion, and wellbeing with the logics of performance management. Rooted in Scotland’s publicly funded civic ethos, this etiquette emerges from the interplay of devolved policy priorities, sector-wide performance metrics, and reputational incentives. Through an analysis of Scottish Government initi…

This special issue explores the forces reshaping the nation's universities: balancing mission against market pressures, care against critique, and collegial traditions against expanding managerial control. Contributors examine the erosion of academic freedom, the rise of emotional and bureaucratic governance, the risks of ideological conformity and the challenge of sustaining scholarly purpose ami…
Trauma
A recent special issue of this journal focussed on the emergence of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) movement as a key driver of Scottish social policy. In this article, we extend the critiques advanced therein by locating ACEs within a wider cultural turn towards psychological trauma which, over the past decade, has become reified as a master theory across social welfare. Yet, the concept is insubstantial and ill-defined, and the claims …
