Community and Clinical Psychology Research Group

The Community and Clinical research group is interested in the effects of social conditions on individual functioning and mental health, utilising models such as lifespan adversity, attachment and psychodynamic theory, in relation to interventions and therapies.

Members have a critical psychology approach, which highlights contemporary social issues and utilises mixed methodologies. The Research Group meets around monthly and has email correspondence to: discuss topical social issues, spark research ideas and help group members with their current research and grant applications; share resources and good research practice and clinical knowledge for publication,  research and evaluation; highlight controversial social topics in our field with discussion on how to disseminate these.
