Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy Edited by Craig Newnes
JCPCP has been a key forum for writing which is critical of mainstream psychology, counselling and psychotherapeutic practice for 32 years, making a genuine attempt to do something radical in a largely hostile world. JCPCP focuses on a compassionate critique of the worlds of psychology, counselling and psychotherapy. Interviews, special issues, leading critics and new writing combine to ask some fundamental questions of people and practices in the different fields. Like its predecessor Changes, JCPCP breaks new ground, asking along the way if all psychology is mere wishful thinking, how to nurture the political while respecting the personal, and above all, if therapy, psychology and psychiatry can remain human in the endeavour to help people. JCPCP questions and examines the assumptions inherent in therapeutic practices, explores the implications of making the person central to psychological enquiry, and invites discussion and comment between people who believe that there is more to counselling than meets the scientific eye. It does its utmost to remind us that people are more important than theories, and that what we do is more important than what we say we do. It speaks out when the need arises and gives a platform to new writers wanting to question the increasingly conservative worlds of psychology, counselling and psychotherapy. It might even make you laugh. ••• To read customer reviews, click here•••For more information, click on a subscription type below.
