This paper explores the personal and professional connections between clinical psychologists in the United Kingdom (UK) and critical/community psychology (CCP). Specifically, it asks how clinical psychologists define the area, how they relate to it and how they apply it in their work. Twenty clinical psychologists responded to an online survey, 12 of whom went on to take part in a follow-up telephone interview. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. The results are divided into three sections: i. "describing CCP": social justice and a questioning stance are considered, ii. "relating to CCP": an interplay between lifespan events and personal responses are described and iii. "applying CCP": a dynamic between role-specific applications and reality checks that either enable or constrain is illustrated. Although the continued need for a CCP is described, the results highlight both challenges and tensions of practising CCP within clinical psychology.
本文探讨了英国临床心理学家与批判/社区心理学(CCP)之间的个人和专业联系。具体而言,它询问临床心理学家如何定义该领域,他们如何与之关联以及如何在工作中应用它。20名临床心理学家回复了一项在线调查,其中12人继续参与了后续的电话访谈。数据采用归纳主题分析法进行分析。结果分为三个部分:i. “描述CCP”:探讨了社会正义和质疑立场;ii. “与CCP的关联”:描述了人生事件与个人反应之间的相互作用;iii. “应用CCP”:说明了特定角色应用与现实检验之间的动态关系,这种关系既可能促成也可能限制应用。尽管文中描述了对CCP的持续需求,但结果凸显了在临床心理学中实践CCP所面临的挑战和紧张关系。
