Forensic Psychology and…Discourse
Tuesday 6 July, 6.30pm
Speaker: Kathryn Fox, University of Vermont
Discussant: Peter Kinderman, University of Liverpool
How do forensic psychologists talk about people subject to their practices? What kind of ideas and identities do those words evoke? And what are their implications for how psychologists address crime? Kathryn Fox, Professor of Sociology discusses her work on the rhetorical discourses present in intervention programmes, how people completing programmes respond to the ways they are discursively depicted, and the implications of psychological discourse in the criminal justice system. Peter Kinderman, Professor of Clinical Psychology, who has written extensively on depictions of mental health, offers a response.
