The Psychologist (magazine)
The Psychologist is the monthly publication of the British Psychological Society. It provides a forum for communication, discussion and controversy among all members of the society and helps it promote the advancement and diffusion of a knowledge of psychology, pure and applied. The Psychologist is read by more than 50,000 members in print, and many non-members read the online version.[1] It was launched in 1988, incorporating the existing Bulletin of the British Psychological Society.[2] The 2016 issues are volume 29.[3]
Dr Jon Sutton, who joined the Society in March 2000, from a psychology lectureship at Glasgow Caledonian University, is the Managing Editor.[1]
Criticism
In March 2020, Dennis Relojo-Howell, founder of the psychology website Psychreg, said that the magazine had "consistently push[ed] left-wing types of agendas", explaining: "For instance, in the run-up to Brexit, views which opposed it regularly appeared in the magazine. There are also a number of articles that demonise Trump – I noticed these things because I am both pro-Brexit and pro-Trump."[4] In response, Jon Sutton explained that: social justice content is a separate issue from the perceived ‘left wing’ bias.'[5]
