Nature, nature connection, and well‐being
Nature connection plays an important role in the relationship between nature contact and well‐being, but explanations of how this occurs are sometimes ambiguous while evidence is conflicting. Philosophical tensions in the way we study nature connection make it difficult to clarify these matters: while the idea of nature connection is grounded in an understanding that people are part of nature, conceptual, and empirical strategies used to study it…
Adapting and applying a group facilitator training model to support nature-based social interventions for alleviating loneliness in five countries
Implementing psychosocial health interventions in new target groups in different cultures requires rigorous training. The ‘Circle of Friends’ (CoF) model has proven to be effective for helping lonely older adults. The aim of this article is to describe in detail how professionals’ training in using the CoF model was modified to create the ‘Friends in Nature (FiN)’ intervention in the EU-funded ‘RECETAS’ project for use in five other countries (Sp…
Reimagining Health Care and Social Connection with Asylum Seekers and Refugees through Contextually Grounded Nature-Based Social Interventions
Nature-based social prescribing (NBSP) is gaining recognition as a means of addressing loneliness and fostering social connection, yet evidence of its effectiveness for socially marginalised groups remains limited. This explorative single-arm, pre-post study examined Friends in Nature (FiN), an eight-week NBSP program co-designed for and with 37 LGBTIQA+ asylum seekers and refugees in Melbourne. Participants were referred by a trusted partner org…
Equitable Access to mental Health Support for LGBTQ+ Young People
The global burden of young people’s poor mental health has stimulated increased attention on improving access to mental health services. However, young people are reluctant to seek help for mental health problems, and this is most often framed as an individual deficit. The power relations that disadvantage youth, such as age, gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and poverty, are rarely included in research. Our U.K. study made power centra…
Navigating the Hypervisibility and Invisibility of Mixed-Race Families
U.S. multiracial families are paradoxically regarded as representatives of a post-racial ideal and as anomalies that challenge assumptions. Here, Black-White couples discuss the pressures they feel to “perform” family when facing racial surveillance and erasure
Unsettling Metronormativity
Between loss and restoration
Rejecting Multiracial Stereotypes
Stereotypes surrounding multiracial individuals include being viewed as inherently attractive because of their mixed-race background, and, therefore, having a superiority complex, which reinforces racial hierarchies and creates division and tension within communities of color. This superiority complex is often rooted in colorism and proximity to White beauty standards. Drawing upon in-depth, semistructured interviews with 19 sets of interracial p…
The multiracial family as an anomaly
ObjectiveThrough qualitative in-depth interviews with interracial parents across the United States, this study explores how multiracial families as a unit experience monoracism via racial surveillance, voyeurism, and dissection.BackgroundDespite increasing representations of mixed-race families in various media, studies find that many people in the United States assume that family members should phenotypically resemble each other and also represe…
Unsettling vulnerability
In this Special Issue we invited an international audience to address the aim to unsettle notions of vulnerability and question the research practices associated with its use in the psychology discipline. The seven articles 1 expose the paradoxes of vulnerability by starting from experience in different countries, such as: India, Chile, South Africa, Finland, and the USA. They do so by critically interrogating the notion of vulnerability, often c…
Supported residential services as a type of “total institution”
A policy norm enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2006 reflected in Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme is for people with psychosocial and other disabilities to have choice and control over their lives and not to live in institutional settings. In Australia, private congregate care settings remain in most states and territories, yet are not recognised as institutional settings in pol…
Mindful engagement, psychological restoration, and connection with nature in constrained nature experiences
Research indicates that heightened individual engagement in nature can improve psychological benefits of nature experiences, yet the current literature lacks robust consideration for how this occurs. Constrained nature experiences – such as busy, noisy urban environments – may undermine individual capacities to engage with nature, prompting the question of how engagement functions across different nature experiences. To address this gap, we draw …
Towards action research with trans women sex workers
Trans women face multiple social, economic and health inequalities and the impact of gender oppression and violence is even more profoundly experienced by trans women sex workers, although in culturally specific ways. This paper presents a pilot study conducted to explore and engage with the context of trans women sex workers in Lido Tre Archi, Italy. In line with the community psychology values of social justice, social change and participation,…

Support for parents/carers of primary school aged gender diverse children in England, UK
This paper presents findings from a UK mixed-method study that aimed to understand parents/carers' views and experiences of support received from health services for primary school age (4-11) gender diverse children and their families. Data was collected via an e-survey including 10 open-ended questions with 75 parents/carers addressing experiences with (i) primary health services, including general practice (GP) clinics and child and adolescent …
Transdisciplinarity and Shifting Network Boundaries
Participatory research engages a transdisciplinary team of stakeholders in all aspects of the research process. Such engagement can lead to shifts in the research design, as well as who is considered a participant. We detail our experiences of studying an evolving stakeholder network in the context of a 2.5-year transdisciplinary, participatory project. We show how participation leads to shifts in the network boundary overtime and how a transdisc…
Affect and the reparative turn
Contrary to social constructionism, affect theories are less concerned with privileging the epistemological problems of knowledge construction than with attending to the ontological. This raises questions about what should be constituted as data as well as how we view, read, and interpret it. This article introduces to qualitative psychology the currently overlooked work on affect and the reparative turn inspired by queer feminist theorist Eve Ko…

Rethinking Concepts in Participatory Action Research and Their Potential for Social Transformation
Participatory Action Research (PAR) aims to articulate knowledge production and transformative action. In this paper, we outline the sociopolitical background to our interest in LGBT and trans‐collectives as an important territory where PAR might make some intervention in the social conditions of LGBT lives by transforming dominant forms of representation that have emerged from a history of psychological and medical pathology. We present two proj…
Researching “experience”
In this paper, we explore some of the tensions involved in the process of engaging with embodiment research. Although a significant volume of discursive work on “the body” and its role in social relations now exists, there is little in the way of empirical research that moves the focus away from discourse alone to concentrate on other modalities, such as embodied feelings, sensations, and engagements with the world. We begin by briefly reviewing …

On Psychology and Embodiment
Fragmented Identities, Frustrated Politics
This paper seeks to explore the complex position transsexualism has in relation to a range of personal identities and identity politics. In recent years there has been considerable debate over 'borderline identities' particularly between lesbians, transgenderists, and FTM and MTF transsexuals who transgress the identity category 'lesbian.'2 Stronger political affiliations between transsexuals, lesbians and feminists are argued for, and a greater …
Changing Sex, Changing Self
This article explores how transsexual men and women talk about shifts in self-perceptions and embodiment. Often there are remarkable changes in transsexual people's fleshy physicality that affect not only how their gendered bodies are perceived but also how they experience themselves as embodied subjects. Yet despite the advances of medical science and a growing investment in new bodily technologies, the author argues that the transsexual body ca…

Painting pictures of embodied experience
This paper is based upon the work of an ongoing, collective research project that is concerned with embodiment. The co-researchers have used a variety of methods, including memory work and the analysis of discourse, in order to trace the ways in which meanings are constructed and lived, with and through the body. These methods have relied solely on transcripts of text as data. Growing awareness of the limitations this imposed on the research, par…
