The kaleidoscope of the mind
Jon Sutton, our Editor, introduces the March issue of The Psychologist.
07 February 2023
This month, marking Linda Tropp's Leverhulme Visiting Professorship at the University of Sussex, she shares her views on how research and theory can shape social policy; and Sussex colleagues John Drury and Claudia Hammond write on impact and routes to achieving it. Emma Young, from our own Research Digest, rounds up some studies speaking to its 'dark side'.
Elsewhere, don't miss Matt Wall's cover feature on the psychedelic revolution; longstanding member Pauline Collier's recollections of aversion therapy, with a response from one of the psychologists involved at the time; and much more throughout the issue.
You may notice some changes in this edition. Although we are just one part of a multimedia communications strategy across the Society, we are proudly so, and kicking off the magazine with 'Your Society' is an explicit acknowledgement of that. Moving an adapted letters section to the back ('Your voice') bookends the magazine with community – so vital to all we do.
