PCSR: Locating Psychotherapy and Counselling

in a Socio-Political Context

We are psychotherapists, counsellors and other professionals who:

• recognise the impact of the political dimension on the client-practitioner relationship
• develop ideas about how social, political, environmental and cultural issues can be integrated into theory and practice
• address and challenge racism, sexism, homophobia and classism as well as other forms of prejudice and discriminatory practice at all levels within our profession
• campaign for better provision of statutory and low-cost counselling or psychotherapy services

PCSR and this website is a forum for psychotherapists and counsellors who wish to influence and broaden the political process by:

• contributing psychological perspectives into debates on current social, cultural, environmental and political issues
• developing new ways of dialogue that integrate the personal and political into our daily lives
• engaging in dialogues with policy makers and with the media in ways that acknowledge diversity and discourage polarised thinking
• generating action and launching campaigns
