I myself am not a psychologist but an independent mental health commentator; a survivor of the ‘health services’ who has cared long-term for close family members. I am in no doubt about the fact that a lot of what we have had to deal with in our lives has been iatrogenically caused, and that the toll taken by intimate involvement with these two first-degree family members robbed me of my own health. The letters from Aurora Dunn and Mike Davies demonstrate such misunderstanding of Peter Kinderman’s views and position on such subjects that I feel compelled to comment. The first letter interests me because it seems to imply that it’s possible to be non-political. I don’t believe that it is. Ms Dunn seems to suggest that we should consider restraining ourselves from taking action now because the same ideas will not be popular or, perhaps, even credible in the future. Well, that consideration doesn’t seem to deter anyone else from making claims and forging ahead in the name of science. I don’t agree with Mr Davies’s insinuation that someone with a strong sense of the social origins of psychological problems – something most laypeople take as read – is in the wrong profession. Indeed, we can all feel some hope when authentic people with palpable integrity and the passion to back it up – like Jamie Hacker Hughes and Peter Kinderman – are elected successively to the BPS’s highest post. But I am frankly disturbed by the openly aggressive tone of his criticism. As disappointed as certain people will always be with election results when the successful candidate is not to their taste, accepting that he or she with the most votes has won is what democracy is all about. Tellingly, Mr Davies’s outburst reaches its climax in the statement ‘it is all our professional lives at stake’. How interesting. This is not about the issues, then… with people from all walks of life – at meetings, in phone about how we in beleaguered families are enabled to cope, or conversations, through social media and email. Consequently, otherwise; are stigmatised, and so on. It’s about ensuring the he has a lot of support from outside the BPS too. It is surely continuance of well-paid jobs for psychologists and aiming ‘to a strength rather than a weakness that he is someone with the influence the government of the value of psychology to society’ courage of his convictions who yet clearly feels open to learn (sic). and modify his views accordingly.

The Aussie’s truly enjoy a very rich sporting history & culture. Australian athletes have excelled in a range of sports globally, and their government supported system has a lot to do with this success. The Australian government spends the most money in the world per capita on elite athlete development and fittingly the Aussie’s have led the three of the last four Summer Olympic Games in medals per capita.

  • James Drever (1873-1950)
    JAMES DREVER (1873-1950). EMERITUS PROFESSOR JAMES DREVER died on August 11th last year. He had made a good recovery from the heart attack which prevented his taking part in the Twelfth International Congress of Psychology in 1948, but a second attack, in March, 1950, proved much more serious, and his death, when it came, was not unexpected. He was born in the Orkney Islands and educated at Stromness. Those who know the Orkneys merely from the map probably think of them as rather wild and remote, belonging with the Hebrides and other struggling depopulated outposts. In point of fact, they are relatively prosperous and fertile. The climate is windy, but the rainfall is not excessive, and the Gulf Stream maintains a winter temperature about the same as that of the Isle of Wight. The natives are hard-headed, practical people, of Norwegian ancestry, and the schools at Kirkwall and Stromness have a very fine record. I remember a photograph taken at some conference which showed my father and several other Orcadians of round about the same age. All were scientists, and, except for Sir John Flett of the Geological Survey, all were in charge of university departments. Thus, the step from the school at Stromness to Edinburgh University was neither an unusual nor a difficult one. My father graduated M.A. in 1893, with the intention of going on to qualify in medicine. He completed two astonishingly strenuous years' teaching during the vacations and during term combining the first two stages of a medical degree with the honours classes in philosophy.

  • Stewart2019.Pdf
    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • Victor Hopes Interviewed by Alex Goodson 31St March 2009
    THE COHEN INTERVIEWS CECIL FRENCH -- Interview no 8. Edited by Tim Cook and Harry Marsh Annotation research by Diana Wray Transcription by Olwen Gotts for WISEArchive ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of 26 interviews with social work pioneers conducted by the late Alan Cohen in 1980 - 81. The period of social work history Alan wished to explore with the interviewees was 1929 - 59. With one exception (No 24, Clare Winnicott) the interviews were unpublished until this edition in 2013. The copyright is held by the not for profit organisation WISEArchive. Each interview is presented as a free-standing publication with its own set of notes. However, readers interested in the Cohen Interviews as a whole and the period discussed are referred to: (a) the other 25 interviews (b) the Editors’ Introduction, (c) the select Bibliography. All of these can be found at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/subject_guides/social_work -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecil French A few of the interviewees mention Relieving Officers for example Mary Sherlock (Interviewee no 16) comments on how as an almoner it was very helpful in terms of obtaining resources to be “on very good terms with the Relieving Officer”. Cecil French who qualified as a Relieving Officer in 1936 gives us considerable insight into just what the role could entail. The exams alone were daunting requiring for example candidates to know the 32 columns which differentiated the many types of relief and for whom it could be given. Although French was working at the tail end of the Poor Law system it was still as he saw it judgemental and unjust.
