New steps for unity are outlined that provide grass-roots opportunities in local churches and communities.

Fundamental to the new unity movement are principles and a change in paradigm that give a fresh approach to the ancient problem of divisions among people who identify themselves as followers of Jesus.

Critical psychology and the ideology of individualism

We demonstrate that mainstream psychology, in its uncritical acceptance of dominant ideologies regarding the individual, acts not to explain, describe and ‘help’, but rather maintains and promulgates a series of understandings and practices that legitimate individualised notions of distress while simultaneously drawing attention away from the material and social underpinnings of such distress. We contrast this position with that of critical psychology wherein the individual is reconceptualised, not as a discrete and isolated phenomenon, separate and distinct form an external and objective reality, but as fundamentally interpenetrated by and interwoven with the social, material, political and economic circumstances within which we reside. We conclude by arguing that any approach that does not pay heed to this ‘relationship’ cannot hope to effect sustainable change to either our own thoughts, feelings and experiences or to the circumstances that are implicated in their creation

which provides a perspective for the study of psychotherapy process in terms of meaning
construction and exchange. This paper will firstly review the basic features of the dialogical
approach to the theory of Self and of the process of psychotherapy, as taken into account in the
papers by Avdi (2012), Gonçalves and Ribeiro (2012), Martínez, Tomicic and Medina (2012),
and Leiman (2012). On the whole, the authors use the term “dialogical” with reference to a
general theory of therapeutic change. The implications of such an use of the dialogical concept
will be discussed, with special focus on how the relationship between intrapsychic and
intersubjective dimensions are taken into account, both at the levels of theory and methodology
of analysis of the psychotherapy process.

With break-up and divorce a major part of modern life, it looks like we may be outliving our inborn capacity to love. But there could be a way to outwit evolution and make love last.
