  • Presidential Address: "Twelve Ways to Make an Impact"
    © 2016 The British Psychological Society Twelve ways to make an impact by Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes FAcSS FBPsS FRSM British Psychological Society Presidential Address, 26 April 2016 _____________________________________________________________________ Citation: Hacker Hughes, J. (2016, April). Twelve ways to make an impact. Presidential Address delivered at the Annual Conference of the British Psychological Society, Nottingham. _____________________________________________________________________ Maurice Chazan, Chris Clegg, John Cole, Sabrina Halliday, Glyn Humphreys, Joan Kirk, Steve Onyett, Gerald Randell, Mike Startup, Toni Whitehead, Jane Wardle. All of these psychologists gave so much to our profession and for our profession, and they all made such an impact on, through and for psychology and we are deeply grateful for their work. We honour all these colleagues, and any others not just named, that have been lost to psychology over the past year. One of the themes of this year’s British Psychological Society 2016 Annual Conference is that of impact and so that is to be the theme of this year’s Presidential Address. Over the past year we have, together, marked several Society anniversaries – 60 years of the BPS in Northern Ireland, 50 years of our Royal Charter and of our Division of Clinical Psychology, 21 years of our Division of Counselling Psychology and 10 years each of the Special Group in Coaching Psychology, the Qualitative Methods in Psychology Section and the Research Digest. The BPS in Northern Ireland, the DCP, DCoP, SGCP, QMIP and every other one of our member networks and their members have, together with the rest of the Society, made a tremendous impact over the time that they have each been in existence.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the script itself is that the majority of lines are characters telling the story directly to the audience, with only a handful of scenes showing any interaction between the characters. Theatre enthusiasts will recognise this breaking of the fourth wall as a “Brechtian” technique, meaning the audience should be primarily aware of the story and the lessons of the play rather than being sucked into the realism too much.
