Book Launch: 'Psychology At The Heart Of Social Change'

On the 31st Jan 2023 we had a panel discussion and launch for Mick's new book: 'Psychology at the Heart of Social Change: Developing a Progressive Vision for Society'. Psychotherapy – and its parent discipline, psychology – offers a vibrant, nuanced and highly practical understanding of human well-being and distress. This new book describes a progressive political approach that integrates insights from psychotherapy and psychology, moving from a 'politics of blame' to a 'politics of understanding': working with others in a spirit of collaboration, dialogue and respect. For more details please go to: https://policy.bristoluniversitypress... At the launch, Mick was joined by a panel of experts to discuss this vision of a society in which all individuals can live rich and fulfilling lives surrounded by a culture of radical acceptance: Lucia Berdondini, Myira Khan, Jennifer Nadel, and Dwight Turner. Kathryn King introduced the book as Marketing Manager for Policy Press. This book launch also served as the opening event of the Therapy and Social Change Network. To join the network, please email Andrew Reeves at a.reeves@chester.ac.uk and he will add you to our mailing list. The launch was held in association with the Cluster for Research in Social and Psychological Change (CREST) in the School of Psychology, University of Roehampton.
