NEWS
Press Release from The UK Community Psychology Network

For immediate release                    16 October 2007

Changing politicians' minds about changing our minds?

"Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and associated approaches are comprehensively problematic.  Primary prevention is the only way to substantially reduce socially, economically and materially caused distress.  To be effective primary prevention must involve social rather than cognitive change.  Reducing income inequality in our society would be one of the most effective ways to reduce psychological distress and ill health”, says the UK Community Psychology Network.

Psychological Helping and Support Research Group at University College, London - page set up by Chris Barker and Nancy Pistrang

We are clinical/community psychologists interested in studying the process and outcome of psychological helping in all its various manifestations, including peer support, mutual support groups, internet support, informal helping in everyday life, and medical consultations, as well as formal psychological therapy and counselling. We are particularly interested in common processes across all of these various modalities. We hope to contribute to the development of theory about the components of psychological helping, and also to address the practical problems of delivering effective help to people in distress.

London School of Economics: MSc in Health, Community and Development, based at the LSE Social Psychology Institute.    Catherine Campbell explains the programme:

The programme will draw primarily on community psychology, critical health psychology and social psychology. It aims to explore the role of community participation and small-scale collective action in public health and health promotion. It pays particular attention to the psycho-social processes underlying the impact of collective action on health, and the mechanisms through which community development approaches may lead not only to improved health, but also to transformatory social action. Our starting assumption is that efforts to promote health and to reduce disease need to combine top down and bottom up approaches. Whilst the primary focus of the course will be the bottom up dimension, emphasis will be continually be laid on the inter-dependence of these two levels of action and analysis.
