Like all effective activist organizers, the editors have courageously utilised their platforms as leaders in the field to demistify social justice education, and, successfully collate a diverse ecosystem of contributors. Each contributor uniquely evokes, provokes, and mobilises the reader to take seriously the lifelong project of interrogating power relations, politics and social change.
This ambitious book aims to demystify 'social justice' – once a term reserved mainly for therapeutic activists and writers on the fringes - by broadly exploring its place in the heart of the psychological professions. A range of contributors ponder the meaning of this concept, and how we might make individual sense of it, as well as now it might be applied in the therapy room and beyond Split into three sections, the first part is theoretical, where ideas and models are given as suggestions for practitioners to use when attempting to embed social justice into their work.
“The Handbook of Social Justice in Psychological Therapies” is very important and a much needed position. It is not only an excellent read but it also provides the reader with the depth of knowledge on social justice. It is very empowering and informative. Fantastic structure and links with practice (particularly useful are the Case Studies positioned at the end of chapters).
This is a superb guide to issues in social justice. It will be on the reading list from Level 3 up in next year's handbooks.
