We are no longer selling subscriptions to JCPCP. The last issue 19(4) will come out in December this year.
The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy (JCPCP) has something important to say about the dominant myths of psychiatry and psychology in these unenlightened times. The Editorial Board includes two winners of human rights awards in the world of psychiatry and psychology. Its contributors reflect all that is best in the voices of those who speak out about the state of modern psychology, counselling and psychotherapy — courage, commitment and a passion for reason. Authors write of daily struggles within the system, deconstruct the machinations of ‘Big Psy’ and bring a fierce spotlight to bear on the iniquities of theory and practice.
JCPCP is recommended reading for students of psychology, counselling and psychotherapy, academics, independent thinkers in the Human Services and those who survive those services.
Critiques in the form of articles or letters on any aspect of psycological or psychotherapeutic research, theory or practice are always welcome. Articles should not normally exceed 4000 words. They will be peer reviewed. Please contact the Editor, Craig Newnes to submit material: craignewnes76@gmail.com

Craig Newnes is editor of The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy (formerly Changes), and a commissioning editor and author for our Critical Psychology series. Prior to his retirement he was Director of Psychological Therapies for Shropshire. He has a life time commitment to the NHS and is an outspoken critic of the hypocrisy, self interest, confusion and downright lies which characterise so much of the practise of psychiatry and psychology. He believes that unhappiness is a form of heresy and most of the misery for which people seek help is only amenable to alleviation through changes in their material lives.
