Most recently, I have acted as the school psychology coordinator for the Seven Oaks division, where I still maintain some involvement. I have been lucky enough to be involved in a variety of preventative programs in Seven Oaks, targeting whole families as well as classroom wide interventions. School staffs and children became accustomed to the school psychologist as the one trudging in with a briefcase, test kit, and guitar…a guitar? You’ll need to stop me in the hall to get the full story. The other half of me established and maintained a private practice in psychology. My practice has included adults, children, couples, and families. Over the years I have travelled to a number of the more remote parts of our province and, within the private practice context, established some of the first school psychology services in a number of Manitoba First Nations communities. My clinical approach has evolved over the years to what I would call an “integrationist” model, the analogy being that of an cook who has selected Well, it’s January, thirty-something below, I’m and researched ingredients to enable the walking through B and L lots on my way to the creation of a customized product.

Transcona, Winnipeg No. 1, and Seven Oaks -3- SUPPORT STAFF UPDATE Gloria Derksen Psychology Graduate Program Coordinator I began working at the University of Manitoba, in the Psychology Department, in August of 2005. Watching students progressing through their programs and getting to know a few along the way has been an interesting part of the ‘job’. I am thoroughly enjoying the challenges of Psychology Graduate Program Co-ordinator, officially since May 2012, but I’ve been here for two years now. I am also mother to two lovely young women, who are married to wonderful young men. My husband and I are grandparents of two active grandchildren, with another Gloria (second from left) with her family on the way. We even have ‘grandpets’, who visit occasionally! Amy Fransen Animal Technician I was very excited to start working as an Animal Technician in the Department of Psychology this past summer having grown up on a farm and having spent the majority of my life working around and with animals. It has been a pleasure getting to know some of the many great people who work here. For those of you who don't know me, I'll talk a little about myself. I spend most of my free time with my husband playing video games or watching our favourite TV shows and movies. I also enjoy spending time with my family in Southern Manitoba and hanging out with friends. Some of my other hobbies include singing karaoke, scuba diving, and reading. If you see me around campus, feel free to say hi! Hillary Hobson Animal Technician I started my position as an Animal Care Tech with Psychology in January of 2012. Prior to this position I worked for the university in a similar position for about half a year back in 2010/11. Animals have always been a huge interest of mine and back when I was sixteen I started volunteering with the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre which has been a huge part of my life for the six years that I have been involved with them. I currently devout myself to them by helping with animal care and rehabilitation, helping out the education program, and by being a member of the fundraising committee. When I'm not working and volunteering, I'm taking a mix of courses at the U of M and at RRC, baking "cake boss" style cakes with my best friend Jenelle, participating in various activities and get-togethers with my friends and family, and spoiling the newest member of my family (my nephew) who was born this past November and gave me the very precious role of being an aunt. Those who know me, can say that I'm energetic, caring and rarely slow down. -4- SUPPORT STAFF UPDATE (CONTINUED) Jarod Innis Teaching & Research Technology Coordinator Having been with the department since September 2002, I had an idea of what to expect when I took over for Phil Gerson. The journey has not been without its speed bumps but thanks to wisdom imparted by Phil over the years, no problems have seemed insurmountable. The changing needs of the department and technologies that can be used to address the problems faced are part of the reason why every day presents a unique challenge that my team and I are eager to face. I look forward to continued collaboration with students, faculty and staff in attaining the research, teaching and administrative goals of the department. Kelly Kennedy Office Assistant at the Psychological Service Centre I am pleased and excited to join the staff at the Psychological Service Centre within the Department of Psychology. Over the last few months I have felt very welcome and am excited to start my new career here. Prior to working at Psychological Service Centre I was a Case Manager at Northern Community Development Services in a small town in North Western Ontario where I counselled individuals in overcoming their barriers to employment and assisted them with reaching their career goals.

By Meagan Cline One of the most controversial topics in the criminal justice industry is the "insanity defense" and its applicability or validity in prosecuting criminal cases. The purpose of this assignment is to identify and discuss psychopathology and crime causation in terms of mental illness, research, and the insanity defense. For this evaluation, information was gathered from scholarly research, textbooks, dictionaries, and published literature. These sources were then carefully reviewed and applied to the evaluation in a concise, yet informative, manner. This assignment also addresses some of the key terms in psychopathology and crime causation, including various theories, definitions, and less commonly known relevant factors influencing claims of mental instability or insanity.
  • Critical Psychology in the Philippines

    Critical Psychology in the Philippines

    CRITICAL PSYCHOLOGY IN THE PHILIPPINES There are many pathological features of Philippine culture that are either caused or exacerbated by the debilitating effects of neocolonial dynamics. These effects include endemic poverty, endemic corruption, diasporic deployment of Filipino labor, trafficking of women and children, exploitation and destruction of indigenous cultures, the paradoxical increase in nationalism coexisting with the desire to leave the Philippines, the consumption of cosmetic bleaching, feelings of failure and learned helplessness, lack of self-fulfillment, feelings of inferiority not only among the urban, rural, and mountain poor, but also within Christian and Moslem cultures as well, Postcolonial theory analyzes the nature of these dynamics and explores they ways in which they can be changed. For example, Bhabha (2004), an Indian with an Oxford education, suggests that multicultural experience, especially diasporic, can generate insight into such neocolonial oppression and thus create a coherence to the seeds of discontent and destabilization that enable cultural change. The Katipunan, which may have launched the first successful revolution based on Marxist theory, was inspired in large measure from Rizal’s exposure to European universities. “. it is from those who have suffered the sentence of history— subjugation, domination, diaspora, displacement—that we learn our most enduring lessons for living and thinking.” (Bhabha, 2004, p. 246.) Fannon, a Martinique expatriate educated in France, as a psychiatrist witnessed psychological trauma in French Algiers. After WWII he participated in the Algerian revolution which won independence in 1962. He applied concepts from psychoanalytic theory to the understanding of colonial culture. He combined psychology and politics, effectively viewing them an integrated system.

Critical Psychology ANSWER: 1 by focusing on the individual rather than the group or larger society, mainstream psychology overemphasizes individualistic values, hinders the attainment of mutuality and community, and strengthens unjust institutions; 2 mainstream psychology’s underlying assumptions and institutional allegiances disproportionately hurt members of powerless and marginalized groups by facilitating inequality and oppression; and 3 these unacceptable outcomes occur regardless of psychologists’ individual or collective intentions to the contrary (Fox, 2009, p. 5) Critical Psychology ● Heavily influenced by the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory, a German sociological program based on Marxist visions of justice ● Originated in 1970s Germany with Klaus Holzkamp ● Associated with various social movements and platforms Erich Fromm & The Sane Society ● Born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1900 ● Fled Germany after the Nazis rose to power ● Lived in Switzerland,

    The Challenge of Being a Critical Psychologist in Times of Crisis: an Example from Austria1

    The challenge of being a critical psychologist in times of crisis: An example from Austria1 Reinhilde Trinks Austrian Gesellschaft kritischer Psychologen Andrea Birbaumer University of Technology, Vienna Anna Keclik University of Vienna Abstract The article bases on the resuming papers of two workshop conferences held by GkPP (Gesellschaft kritischer Psychologen und Psychologinnen = Austrian Society of Critical Psychologists - in August 2009 and August 2010), which aimed to analyze the role and the targets of critical psychology as well as critical psychologist practitioners towards current challenges in social and health politics and practice due to globalized economic, cultural and social crises. After an overview of recent discussions in Austria's current Health and Social Politics as well as Educational Politics the paper focuses on the role of psychology/psychologists in different settings (with a focus on Health and Social System, including professional regulations if existing) and their position in relation to other health and social professionals. The following discussions include: - the (re)development and 're-sharpening' of basic positions and attitudes of CP towards global crisis and their contributions to a critical discussion of current approaches in 'Mainstream Psychology/ies' - well-known and new contradictions CP has to face - feminist vs. gender debates - what is needed in science and practical work to stay 'critical' - the effects of crisis on the self-esteem as critical psychologists, concerning the systematically increasing number of (young, well-trained and female) colleagues in precarious jobs - which consequences have to be drawn for a critical professionals' association concerning its concepts for profession politics and close with an outlook to the estimated developments within the next years and suggestions for analytical and practical work to be done in critical psychology.

In a first step, the development of critical psychologies is located in current discussions on the production of knowledge, and three different typical approaches and major steps toward situated critique as a practice of mutual recognition are delineated. This shift, it is argued, has led to a historically new relevance of critique, and two basic analytical elements of critical research are introduced: Everyday conflictuality as the initiating moment of critique as well as the importance of theory for critical inquiry. On this basis a variety of analytic strategies and concepts are presented which inform Critical Psychology from the Standpoint of the Subject and suggest a constituent move from partial perspectives toward situated generalization.

Such clinicians are considered the "Family Psychiatrist." Psychological characteristics of such families who cannot be referred to other clinicians are articulated. The literature on psychotherapy in small rural communities is reviewed as having relevance to define the ethical issues that arise in such treatments. These issues include: maintaining therapeutic neutrality; creating functional, flexible, and appropriate boundaries; maintaining confidentiality; promoting patient autonomy and growth; as well as managing conflicts of interest.

    COUNSELING THE DEPRESSED PERSON: THE PURITAN ALTERNATIVE TO SECULAR PSYCHOLOGY by David P. Herding A Thesis Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina December 2010 i Accepted: ____________________________________ Andrew J. Peterson, Ph.D. Dissertation Advisor ____________________________________ Second Reader ____________________________________ Third Reader ii ABSTRACT Counseling Chronically Depressed People: The Puritan Alternative to Secular Psychology David P. Herding While there is an abundance of existing literature written on the subject of counseling depressed people from both secular psychological and religious perspectives, the views and methods of the Puritans on the subject are largely unknown, untapped and unapplied among contemporary Christians. Even though depressed moods and traits have been in existence since the fall of mankind, many secular psychologists and Christian counselors still do not rightly understand its origins, causes and cures and are too quick to medicate the problem or resort to self-help methods. But the ancient Biblical principles documented and applied by the Puritans for the diagnosis and cure of depression have proven to be what sufferers really need and desire. Therefore, the general intent is to put the topic of counseling of the depressed to the test by examining the historical writings and counsel of Puritan writers against that of their current counterparts, namely the secular psychological methods, and how these modern methods fall short in dealing with a syndrome of depression. In particular, the Puritan foundational theories of diagnosing a pattern of depression and the theological themes they used for cures of such situations are examined and thoroughly documented.
