@ColetteColfer Does this reflect your own position on Sociology then Colette?

[Dr Emmet Fox @EmGeFox]

Hiring a psychologist - a surefire way to individualise what is an institutional and societal problem.

[Gardawhistleblower @Gardawhistlebl1]

Any good manger could see the problem
No psychologist needed

Utrecht University @UniUtrecht in the Netherlands has withdrawn itself from the World University ranking @THEworldunirank provided by @timeshighered. As this has generated quite some reactions - praise, questions, some doubts, I want to provide some context. Hence a thread 🧵1/16

Trump and the Republican party exemplify these five elements of #fascism, & the UK @Conservatives aren't far behind.

Trump is often described as ‘authoritarian’. But that doesn’t really capture the more alarming aspects of his movement.

The future of psychiatry is in de-prescribing. Those physicians who understand this will be innovators, healers, & leaders in the field.

Really engaging keynote by Su-Ming Khoo @Soc_Assoc_Ire conference from Environmenral Spciology to Vital Sociology. Lots of overlap with Critical Geographies, More-than-human geographies and Climate Justice work. A strong case for more interdisciplinary working!

@TomClonan No it's not Tom. Here's a book for you https://t.co/juOTGy4uSd You might look up social prescribing too while you are at it

[Dr Emmet Fox @EmGeFox]

Good to see this in mainstream media. Definitely the social needs much more emphasis.

"Our mental health services have not evolved to reflect what we know about mental health. They have maintained the vice-grip of a medical model & are designed to protect the privilege & interests of one profession at the expense of people’s mental health".

Looks like a psychologist scapegoating parents. Offering a very narrow perspective oblivious of institutions, gender, class, culture. Subtle mentions of the latter actually do appear in readers accounts but are lost in this limited blame-the-parents frame https://t.co/kk2ushV0LP

The fundamental problem at its core is that housing in Ireland was turned into a wealth accumulation asset, a financial commodity, to the benefit of a small privileged group
