With #Budget2023 coming up, here's our @PsychologistsI submission to the Housing Commission's Consultation on a Referendum on Housing.

An important, thought provoking article about the future of psychological thinking. It encourages ‘outsight’; focused upon care for one another and for the biosphere, prevention rather than treatment, and the creation of materially and ecologically resilient communities.
'In the end, the question is whether the role of the psychologist is to adapt people to a sick society, or rather to use the evidence of our clinics and research to bear witness to and speak out against the multiple ills inflicted by the neoliberal order'
