Gender and Maternal Identities
What effects do contemporary changes in women’s gender identity have on women’s experiences – in their variety and particularity – of becoming a mother? How do these identities accommodate, conflict with, sit well with, the core experience of birth-mothering a new infant, central to which is the asymmetrical demand of care by a vulnerable dependent infant, to which that mother has given life? This is a large question, larger than can be answered …
Carbon-lite collaboration
In this article we present an example of psychosocial practice – a visual matrix – which attempted to address and embody carbon-lite research methods in the face of global heating. Combining virtual and face-to-face modes of presence and interaction generated insights as well as posing challenges. In the article we explore two ideas through a discussion of ‘interference’ and ‘inclusion/exclusion’. The article extends our understanding of the meth…

Feminism, psychology and becoming a mother
The period of becoming a mother is a fundamental issue for feminism and a challenging one for psychology, involving a specific set of psychological processes and psychic changes that are hard to access through available language and discourses. How we understand, theorise and represent the perinatal period of mothering reaches into questions of gender equality and gender difference, parenting and how feminist psychology has tended to treat women’…

Because nobody likes Chinese girls
How do emotions enter into children's negotiated understandings and situated uses of categories of identity? This question guided a revisit to an ethnographic study of a multi-cultural context in Oakland, California. A focus group discussion among four Chinese American girls just graduating from elementary school and an interviewer, also Chinese American, was chosen for closer study. This secondary analysis focuses on how the girls engaged in sch…

Research encounters, reflexivity and supervision
Reflexivity in qualitative and ethnographic social science research can provide a rich source of data, especially regarding the affective, performative and relational aspects of interviews with research subjects. This paper explores by means of three case examples different ways of accessing and using such reflexivity. The examples are drawn from an empirical psycho-social study into the identity transitions of first-time mothers in an inner-city…
Rereading Winnicott's ‘Primary maternal preoccupation’
Using data examples, I re-approach Donald Winnicott's idea of primary maternal preoccupation (1984[1956]) through Bracha Ettinger's matrixial concept of transsubjectivity. I argue that Winnicott recognises the radical difference between the mental state that women will have occupied formerly and the state that the prenatal and postnatal infant will claim, if the mother is available to it. With the benefit of a matrixial perspective it is possible…
In between External and Internal Worlds
This article explores a kind of thinking based on emotional experience and imagination. Donald Winnicott, British psychoanalyst, locates creative thinking in an intermediate area. This idea of ‘in between’ offers the possibility of thinking beyond a set of troublesome binaries that concern psycho-social researchers: external and internal, objectivity and subjectivity, social and personal, positioning and agency, construction and reality. Taking t…

The Capacity to Care
Wendy Hollway explores a subject that is largely absent from the topical literature on care. Humans are not born with a capacity to care, and this volume explores how this capacity is achieved through the experiences of primary care, gender development and later, parenting. In this book, the author addresses the assumption that the capacity to care is innate. She argues that key processes in the early development of babies and young children crea…
Paradox in the Pursuit of a Critical Theorization of the Development of Self in Family Relationships
This article starts with my dissatisfaction with the post-structuralist treatment of the production of subjectivity within regulatory discourses and practices due to its neglect of psychological processes. Taking starting points from within the history set out in the previous article, it highlights the paradox for critical psychologists like myself involved in both applying a post-structuralist critique to ‘psy’ discourses and trying to theorize …
Family Figures in 20th-Century British ‘Psy’ Discourses
This article takes the three figures—child, mother-child couple and father—and charts their discursive movements over the course of the 20th century in Britain, concentrating particularly on the changes happening around the time of the 1939-45 war. Over time, there is a significant shift from the individual child to the mother-child relation and the importance of fathers for children’s self development appears and disappears as a theme. A rigid c…

The Risk Society in an Age of Anxiety
As many now recognize, fear of crime is an inadequately theorized concept. In particular, it is premissed on rational, calculating individuals who routinely miscalculate their 'true' risk of crime. Hence the repeatedly found paradox that the least at risk group (elderly females) are most fearful. The risk literature has adopted a cultural/anthropological rather than an individual perspective, but, in so doing has not succeeded in retheorizing the…

PC or Not PC
The contemporary politics of sexual harassment on university campuses in the U.K. and the U.S. is considered in the light of “political correctness” debates. Threats to natural justice are discussed in relation to the different assumptions concerning men's and women's subjectivity in a representative university sexual harassment policy document. An alternative analysis in terms of multiple, non-unitary gendered subjectivities, taking into account…

Management and Labour in Transition
The way in which management and related personnel practices contribute to the organisation and control of the labour process during a period of political change intended to move towards socialism is examined. Rhodesia's colonial history and the position of foreign and multinational corporations in the economy have been determining the changes taking place in employing organisations. Workplace democracy and black advancement are two examples of go…

Efficiency and Welfare
This paper examines the case of the appointment of the first psychologist to a British industrial company, Rowntree's Cocoa Works, in 1922. Before this date, industrial psychologists did several pieces of work for Rowntree's. Events concerning the appointment of the psychologist and the subsequent activities of the Psychological Department demonstrate the dual reliance of early British industrial psychology on the principles of welfare and effici…

This is an exploration of how sexual harassment came to be defined, what institutional forces and concepts shape our understanding of it and the limitations of the language used when discussing it. The book brings together essays written by feminist scholars and practitioners in the fields of law, literature, the social sciences, history and cultural studies. The contributors' central argument is for an awareness of the social and discursive cont…

A Kiss is Just a Kiss
In this paper, we problematize the issues of coercion and consent in legal discourse through analysing a British `date rape' court case involving two students. Drawing on the extensive newspaper coverage of the trial, we deconstruct these media accounts, exploring the dominant explanatory frameworks. We propose a reading which combines discursive and psychodynamic analysis in addressing unanswered questions and contradictory evidence. This moves …
