(2018) Travel and movement in clinical psychology, Dordrecht, Springer.
In this chapter, we first examine why the world outside the clinic matters for clinical psychology, as well as offer a preliminary sketch of how travel and movement can serve as vehicles toward overcoming various insular tendencies of the field. We begin by introducing the four forms of insularity that plague the field—social-ecological, practical, cultural, and scientific-philosophical—situating these within a rich history of critique. We then suggest that in order to better address the world outside the clinic, which is integral to the very possibility of well-being, let us venture outside the clinic. We conclude with a sketch of the remaining chapters.
