Liberation Practices Towards Emotional Wellbeing Through Dialogue

Liberatory approaches to nourishing psychological and community well-being are being crafted on every continent, attending to the needs, challenges, and visions of particular local communities. Afaupe and Hughes' edited volume offers readers an important look at how liberation psychology is being articulated and practiced in a diverse variety of community and clinical settings in the U.K. In doing so, the inspiring work that is featured will help practitioners perceive the interdependence of the social and the psychological and be able to link resistance to oppression with helping to cultivate settings where creativity, emancipatory dialogue, and social transformation thrive. Liberation Practices will also help to open the imagination of cultural workers beyond the UK, contributing to transnational efforts to articulate a broad range of libertory healing practices that are available for contextualized improvisation with local communities suffering in the face of neoliberal globalization. - Mary Watkins, Ph.D., Author of Toward Psychologies of Liberation
