(2018) Travel and movement in clinical psychology, Dordrecht, Springer.
In conclusion, we discuss travel as practice and examine how clinical psychology can better participate in the life and movement(s) of the world. We draw on contemporary innovations in practice, as well as the movements of Gandhi and King, to broaden our categories of and for good mental health. We attempt to link—or, collapse the distinction between—the world inside the clinic and the worlds outside the clinic. Healing is revealed to be needed at multiple levels. We aim to see our role as traveling alongside others in their lives and circumstances, understanding not only their personal conditions but the social conditions in which they live. We also acknowledge the importance of community building in general. In sum, the world matters to clinical psychology.
