Should psychologists be political? Views from a Clinical Psychologist in training.

Should psychologists be political? Being a trainee clinical psychologist can be a tough space, because most of the time you’re kinda scared of doing something wrong. Mix this with the general social awkwardness that comes with speaking about politics, and the pressure to be “neutral” as a psychologist”… you can see why people would just want to stay out of it! ABOUT THIS CHANNEL Hello! These videos were filmed by Dr Miranda during her doctoral training programme. They have been shared with the aim of demystifying the DClinPsy for incoming trainee Clinical Psychologists, making it all seem a little less scary, and hopefully making you smile along the way :) SOCIALS Instagram: @the.worry.people Website: www.theworrypeople.com TIME STAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:57 Background to the issue 4:23 Don’t human rights trump politics? 7:18 Social Justice is in our blood 10:15 Silence is a privilege 14:35 What even is neutrality? 18:23 Last but not least… RESOURCES “Let’s get in formation” – on becoming a psychologist-activist in the 21st century (Nadal, 2017) https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-5...
