Mark Burton, A Renewal of Ethics. The Psychologist, November, 2013. The article is based on a lecture I gave at the British Psychological Society conference last Easter.  Rather breathlessly, it considers some ethical challenges, the inadequacy of dominant frameworks for guiding action, the origins of the contemporary malaise in the colonial encounter, and some alternative frameworks to consider.  Liberation thought runs through the article. 

Mark Burton, The analectic turn: critical psychology and the new political context, Les cahiers de psychologie politique [En ligne], numéro 23, Juillet 2013. URL : http://lodel.irevues.inist.fr/cahierspsychologiepolitique/index.php?id=2465 “In this article I explore the limitations of academic critical psychology, suggesting that it is a spent force, largely irrelevant to real problems of oppression and liberation.  An alternative approach which I characterise as ‘analectic critical psychology’ can be seen in the Latin American traditions of liberation psychology and community social psychology as well as in some developments in other regions.”

Mark Burton, In and against social policy Global Journal of Community Psychology Practice. 2013, Vol. 4 No. 2 or pdf version HERE Looks at the relations between the State, subaltern movements, social policy and community psychology through two case studies concerning a) transition to adulthood for young intellectually disabled people, and b) climate change plans in a local authority.

Mark Burton A Second Psychology of Liberation? Valuing and moving beyond the Latin American The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy 2013, Volume 13 Number 2, pp. 96-106 “The characteristics of Liberation psychology are discussed with reference to contemporary challenges. It is suggested that the approach has a contribution to make to other regions and can also be strengthened by drawing on developments elsewhere. As such it is suggested that Liberation Psychology is not, in essence, an approach of restricted relevance to Latin America.”

Games for community psychology. We introduced some of our games for participation and conscientisation at the Lisbon International Community Psychology Congress in 2008. Since then we have been piloting them and amending them. We are please to announce that they are now ready for you to work with and pilot yourselves. We have to charge to cover the costs of producing the games – until we know there is a demand we cannot produce lots of them and bring the costs down.  So, if you would like to order one of the games: please use this order form which also gives details of the games.

A Green Deal for the Manchester-Mersey Bioregion  - Mark Burton  pamphlet   website  (an evolving project)
Inspired by the New Economics Foundation pamphlet on the triple crisis (climate change, peak energy and financial meltdown) this pamphlet appiles some of the thinking at a regional level.  Drawing on both permaculture and historical materialism, it also contains a critique of the New Green Deal's Keynsian approach.  What do you think - is this the terrain of community psychology in the years to come?

KING’S CROSS AND EUSTON REDEVELOPMENTS:  SOCIAL IMPACT STUDY
Paper by John Mason making  "the case for a comprehensive and systematic study of the likely effects of the redevelopment of the King’s Cross railway lands and the separate but related rebuilding and decking over of Euston Station.  It’s argued that an independent study, properly constructed, can inform both public opinion and decision-makers of the scale and nature of changes of these two very large developments.  Also that it can help to shape priorities, improve co-ordination and ensure accountability."
This is a very well argued paper that is relevant to the theme of regeneration - who benefits?.

Making the Psychological Political:  Challenges for Community Psychology.  Mark Burton, Carolyn Kagan and Paul Duckett.  2008
Community psychology deals with the life of groups of people in context and is therefore inevitably concerned with their struggles, successes, projects and
dreams. Sooner or later, because these contexts are constructed economically, politically and historically, engagement with the political is inevitable as all social
groups encounter social and economic interests that differ from their own. Based on a paper presented at the International Congress of Community Psychology, Lisboa, 2008  Read the article

Developing and Managing High Quality Learning Disability Services

Mark Burton and Mike Kellaway (Editors)
Aldershot: Ashgate, 1998.
This text, as the title suggests, is mostly about formal health and social services provision, and is written by staff from the Manchester Learning Disability Partnership. However, running through are the (Community Psychology)  themes of participation, inclusion and empowerment, and these get special treatment in chapters on public safety, quality, user involvement, and planning with people.

       'This is essentially a practical book, full of good ideas and examples of good practice. It speaks directly to
       readers, inviting them to think about their own service and how it might be improved.' Community Care 

Rethinking empowerment: shared action against powerlessness
Mark Burton and Carolyn Kagan. A version was published in I Parker and R Spears:  Psychology and Society:   Radical Theory and Practice.  London:  Pluto Press, 1996. (now out of print).
Applies ideas from Freire, Habermas, Gramsci and Marx to the idea and practice of empowerment, doing a certain amount of de-psychologising of the idea, situating it in collective social action.

British Clinical Psychology in Historical Perspective: The Genesis of a Profession.  
Mark Burton and Carolyn Kagan
Unpublished (indeed much rejected!) article that uses the controversy over the BPS Medical Section in the late 1950s to try and understand some of the dynamics of the emergence of the new profession of clinical psychology in the context of the modernisation of mental health, psychiatry, and related aspects of socia ladministration of the inconvenient.  The article has been cited and requested quite often.  It appears here with a new (2007) foreword).  pdf  (scanned image)  The article is mostly scanned from the original manuscript .

Mark  Burton  (1983) Understanding mental health services:  theory and practice.  Critical Social Policy , 3, (7), 54 – 74.   pdf file
A scanned version of the original paper, so the print quality is not great (and the file is large 1.6 Meg ).  The title is a little misleading – the article is relevant to all disadvantaged, marginalised, stigmatised, unvalued people.   My working title was retainedby the journal after I changed it to something more apt - if ponderous!
The article, despite being 20 years old has interest for two reasons:
1)  It was the first to mention Prefigurative Action Research, later developed by Carolyn Kagan and myself:  (2000) in Prefigurative Action Research:  An alternative basis for critical psychology?   Annual Review of Critical Psychology  2. 
2)  It sets W. Wolfensberger's work within a wider societal context, a task that has been attempted at times, but perhaps less sympathetically than here.  It also was one of the first to make a link between at least his earlier work and labelling theory, that is to say the symbolic interactionist social psychological theory of deviance, a link that he denied.
