The Road Ahead for Roe: the Future for Reproduc Ve Rights and Jus Ce The Road Ahead for Roe: The Future for Reproducve Rights and Jusce in the United States The Our Bodies Our Doctors documentary team invites community members to an online panel on January 22, 2021--the 48th anniversary of Roe v Wade. In this panel, providers and educators featured in the film join director Jan Haaken and an aorney with ACLU in mapping the road ahead for reproducve jusce as the right-wing Supreme Court seems poised to overturn Roe v Wade. For decades in the United States, states have been passing laws liming access to aboron in an effort to basically criminalize aboron. T hese relentless assaults on reproducve health care have connued during the pandemic, with the cruelty of their impacts born most severely by marginalized women and communies of color. At the same me, calls for aboron rights and reproducve jusce--the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy as well as to bear and raise healthy children--have gained strength as a social movement. When: Friday, January 22nd, 5-6:30 PT Where: Hosted by Portland State University, the Portland State University Foundaon, and O ur Bodies Our Doctors outreach team Tickets: The ckets are available through E ventbrite and aendees are invited to donate with proceeds supporng the SisterSong organizaon and the O ur Bodies Our Doctors Educaonal Outreach. In advance of the panel, aendees can view the film via various digital plaorms which are linked on the Our Bodies Our Doctors w ebsite. A zoom link will be sent to aendees via email 5 days prior to the event. Please help us promote "The Road Ahead for Roe" by spreading the word with friends and colleagues via email and social media. You can get updates on our Facebook Event Page a nd our Instagram at @ourbodiesourdoctors Our Bodies Our Doctors tells the rarely-discussed story of what it means to be an aboron provider today: facing intensified polical threats and efforts to criminalize aboron. Religious control over health care is expanding, including in many pro-choice states. The aboron debate connues to be defined by gruesome images of the an-aboron movement. In contrast, this film provides a crucial, hopeful point of view: an inmate glimpse into the lives of these courageous providers who have devoted their careers to ensuring women have access to skilled, compassionate care.

  • Sustainability from the Perspectives of Indigenous Leaders in the Bioregion Defined by the Pacific Salmon Runs of North America
    SUSTAINABILITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF INDIGENOUS LEADERS IN THE BIOREGION DEFINED BY THE PACIFIC SALMON RUNS OF NORTH AMERICA by DAVID EDWARD HALL A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in SYSTEMS SCIENCE: PSYCHOLOGY Portland State University 2008 ABSTRACT An abstract of the dissertation of David Edward Hall for the Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Science: Psychology presented June 10, 2008. Title: Sustainability from the Perspectives of Indigenous Leaders in the Bioregion Defined by the Pacific Salmon Runs of North America Extensive research suggests that the collective behavior of humanity is on an unsustainable path. As the evidence mounts and more people awaken to this reality, increased attention is being dedicated to the pursuit of answers for a just and sustainable future. This dissertation grew from the premise that effectively moving towards sustainability requires change at all levels of the dominant Western culture, including deeply held worldviews. The worldviews of many indigenous cultures offer alternative values and beliefs that can contribute to addressing the root causes of problems related to sustainability. In the bioregion defined by the Pacific Salmon runs of North America there is a rich heritage and modern day presence of diverse indigenous cultures. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 indigenous leaders from within this bioregion to explore their mental models of sustainability. These interviews followed a general structure that covered: (a) the personal background and community affiliation of each interviewee; (b) the meaning of the concept of sustainability from their perspective; (c) visions of a sustainable future for their communities; and, (d) how to achieve such a future.

In 1937, Horkheimer (1937/1992) conceptualized critical theory as a program that would overcome the separation of individual and society, values and research, knowl- edge and action. He demanded the abolition of social injustice and advocated for a political organization of society that would meet the needs of the whole community. Critical psychology, which shares many of his core ideas, has come of age: critical psychological conferences, organized by faculty and graduate students, have been held in national and international contexts; psychologists have published monographs, textbooks, edited books and even histories on critical psychology; there exist journals and encyclopedia entries on critical psychology; in addition, critical psychology has moved out of the so-called ‘center’ (North America and Europe) with Martín-Baró’s (1994) critical theories and practices in Latin America. The latest addition to this crit- ical endeavor, Derek Hook’s edited textbook Critical Psychology, discusses mostly South African perspectives and realities. Hook defines critical psychology in his introductory chapter as ‘a kind of orienta- tion towards psychological knowledge and practice’ (p. 11), which evades any rigid definition.

  • Envisioning a Critical Psychology of Prefigurative Politics
    Journal of Social and Political Psychology jspp.psychopen.eu | 2195-3325 Special Thematic Section on "Rethinking Prefigurative Politics" Constructing Alternatives: Envisioning a Critical Psychology of Prefigurative Politics Carlie D. Trott* a [a] Department of Psychology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, USA. Abstract Psychological contributions to social movement scholarship have disproportionately concentrated on a "politics of demand", rather than on a "politics of the act", or prefigurative politics. Prefigurative actors, rather than making demands of power-holders, take direct action aimed at creating change in the ‘here and now’ by constructing alternative modes of being and interacting that reflect a given movement’s desired social transformations. Given that the prefigurative process takes place within and between individuals—with aims of changing the macrostructure by altering micro-relations—psychological perspectives are imperative to their understanding. Despite relevant theories and concepts, a psychology of prefiguration has yet to emerge. This theoretical discussion explores several reasons why prefigurative practices have been largely overlooked and at times misunderstood within mainstream social movement scholarship, traces the distinctive dimensions of prefiguration deserving of further (especially psychological) inquiry, and calls for methodological techniques both responsive to the context-driven nature of prefigurative praxis and consistent with the ‘bottom-up’ approach embodied within these unique spaces of resistance. After highlighting important points of disjuncture and possibility within the study of prefiguration, this discussion offers critical questions and methods aimed to envision and invigorate a critical psychology of prefigurative politics. Keywords: activism, collective action, psychology, prefiguration, prefigurative politics, social movements Journal of Social and Political Psychology, 2016, Vol. 4(1), 266–285, doi:10.5964/jspp.v4i1.520 Received: 2015-05-28.

Through a hermeneutic qualitative textual interpretation of three widely utilized evidence-supported trauma treatment manuals, I identified themes that suggested a particular constitution of the contemporary way of being—a traumatized self—and how this traumatized self comes to light through psychotherapeutic practice as described by the manuals.

  • Reckoning / Foresight
    RECKONING / FORESIGHT March 11-14 & 19-21, 2021 TWO WEEKEND VIRTUAL CONFERENCE THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2021 9:00AM - 12:00PM | WORKSHOP Collaboration or Collusion: Reckoning with Confl icting Loyalties in Assessment Supervision WORKSHOP / LIVE ONLY / 3 CREDITS Teaching, training, and supervising those learning to conduct psychological assessments requires attention to multiple dimensions of the assessment process, including, but not limited to, test construction, test administration, scoring, interpretation, report writing, and consideration of socio-political and cultural factors. Much of the literature on supervising psychological assessment focuses on the objective nature of the measures, the reduction of bias, and the importance of standardized assessment procedures. Often, the important role of the client’s transference, and the clinician’s countertransference, has been given short shrift, despite the essential elements these aspects bring to the table, as outlined by Schafer (1958), Sugerman (1981), and Rapaport, et al (1963). This workshop will utilize supervision cases to outline the ways in which transference and countertransference make their appearance during the assessment process, in the client/assessor dyad and in the assessor/supervisor dyad, and ways of working with the transferential/ countertranferential matrix to aid in the assessment process. Additionally, we will build on the work of Cushman (2015), Holmes (2016), and Samuels (2017), who emphasize the need for psychoanalysis to be in conversation with the socio-political and aspects of identity; we will discuss how these issues relate to psychoanalytically-informed assessment, as well as to the dynamics within the assessment supervisory relationship. PRESENTERS: Sarah L. Hedlund, PhD Helen DeVinney, PsyD Katherine Marshall Woods, PsyD Four Models of Infant-Parent Trauma and Implications for Treatment WORKSHOP / LIVE ONLY / 3 CREDITS This intermediate presentation presents 4 models of mother-infant trauma based on video microanalysis.

  • Feminism's Revolutionary Promise 1 Finding Hope in Hard Times
    FEMINISM'S REVOLUTIONARY PROMISE 1 FINDING HOPE IN HARD TIMES Johanna Brenner Being a socialist-feminist activist has never been easy. We occupy a stony ground between the popularity of liberal (and social-democratic) feminism's apparently practical reformism and the heady appeal of radical feminism's claim to a female moral/spiritual superiority. Especially in these not so very revolutionary times, to write about the meaning of revolutionary change from the point of view of socialist-feminism seems to be more an exercise in myth- making than analysis, more an expression of utopian hope than an outlining of political strategy. Ironically, just at the moment that socialist-feminists are trying to cope with what we experience as decline if not defeat of feminism, or at least of feminism as a grass-roots movement within which radicals could organize, some on the left are finding in feminism — and other 'new move- ments' — revolutionary subjects to replace the working-class. Feminism certainly has much to contribute to expanding what marxism understands to be human liberation and to creating the kind of movement that could possibly bring it about. Feminism insists that we take as a field for theory and political intervention domains of social life that marxism has fundamentally ignored: sexuality, intimacy, raising children, the care and nurture of adults. In so doing, feminism has allowed us to think far more extensively than before about the material basis of socialism — about the best way to organize social life to 'make' socialist people and to foster relationships of equality and respect. In confronting the pain and rewards of motherhood in contemporary society, and in understanding mothering as a kind of work, feminism has allowed us to redefine what we mean by both alienated and unalienated labour.
