Position statement
Psychotherapy and Politics International explores the connections and interactions between politics and psychotherapy, both in theory and in practice. It focuses on the application to political problematics of thinking that originates in the field of psychotherapy, and equally on the application within the field of psychotherapy of political concepts and values internationally. This is a journal for radical psychotherapy and for reflection on the subjective experience of different forms of injustice, inequality, and domination. We welcome contributions informed by experiences of oppression and resistance, including, for example, by anti-racist, queer, feminist, indigenous, decolonial, and radical disability theories, learning from our collective experiences in theoretical application. This means, for instance, that we adhere to Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of Israeli state institutions, and take this stance as an indication of how we respond to other global issues. This does not compromise our openness to different and opposing political positions.
The journal Psychotherapy and Politics International, which has been published since 2002, initially funded by Psychotherapists and Counselling for Social Responsibility, then Wiley, and, most recently, by the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network, is looking for a new sponsor or sponsors.
