“...a central question of this book is how the challenges involved in the relational work of reaching out to the un-housed, abject, and excluded can be held in mind by professionals when ‘coming in from the cold’ is too much to bear or identify with for those hard-to-reach groups, and when those service organisations are suffused with feelings of failure and ambivalence that are then introjected into the system....Scanlon and Adlam have written a stimulating book that throws down an ethical gauntlet especially to all those who may idealise the helping professions.” – Jessica Evans, Open University New review of 'Psycho-social Explorations of Trauma, Exclusion and Violence...' by Dr Christopher Scanlon (DPhil) and I (2022) (wow! already nearly two years ago!) has appeared in Journal of Psychosocial Studies: https://lnkd.in/eYgRmYVi The Journal editors have done us the honour of bracketing the issue between Jessica Evans' review and the first paper, by Jonathan Day, which is very much based on a reading and application of my work with Chris over the last twenty years: https://lnkd.in/eYbx4UNE Apologies to those who may not be able to get past the BUP paywall, if you would like to see a scan of the full review, drop me a message.... #psychosocial #structuralviolence #homelessness #unhousedminds #inhospitableenviroments #groupanalysis #migration #climatedisaster #racialequity #socialjustice #socialinclusion
