The island of Ireland and Irish people have experienced a vast array of social, political, and military and paramilitary events and occurrences throughout history. Many have given rise to different forms of collective trauma. This has influenced the development of a national psychology and the many sub-psychologies of different groups of Irish people. Unprocessed, this trauma is transferred to subsequent generations at an individual, group, and collective level. This article considers an integrative approach to working with collective issues within groups of people who have a relationship with Irishness. This is heavily based on process oriented psychology (POP) or its larger scale application, worldwork. Mapping and following the different roles that may emerge within the process is key. We combine this approach with the spirit or essence of ancient Irish storytelling in hosting community-based dialogue interventions. These groups explore ‘the experience of being Irish in 2022 or different relationships with, or to, Irishness in today’s world’. The different themes and topics that emerged across the initial groups are discussed with further reflections from participants and more in-depth commentary from the perspectives of the group facilitators. The next stages of this group-based psychotherapeutic work are considered within an Irish framework; as well as the potential benefit of this kind of work at an international level, given the many collective psychosocial challenges we face across a very interconnected globe.

This study investigated third generation Bangladeshi adults’ experiences of ethnic identity (EI) and sense of wellbeing. British citizens from racially minoritised backgrounds, such as British Bangladeshis, face numerous challenges related to cultural adjustment, discrimination, and exclusion that can impact wellbeing. Strong EI has been shown to increase psychological wellbeing in minority ethnic populations. Fifteen participants who identified as third-generation British Bangladeshi adults were engaged in semi-structured interviews to explore their experiences of EI and wellbeing. Thematic analysis of the data conceptualised three main themes, namely, ‘Oh my God, I’m different’: Being made to feel like an outsider in Britain; ‘You’re a coconut’: Being made to feel like an outsider within the British Bangladeshi community; and ‘A proper sense of belonging’ through ethnic identity. The findings point towards the role that EI can play in later generation immigrants’ sense of self and wellbeing. Implications are discussed.
本研究调查了孟加拉国第三代成年人的种族认同(EI)和幸福感。来自少数族裔背景的英国公民,如孟加拉裔英国人,面临着与文化适应、歧视和排斥相关的诸多挑战,这些挑战可能会影响他们的福祉。高情商已被证明能提高少数民族人群的心理健康水平。15名被认为是第三代英国孟加拉国成年人的参与者参与了半结构化访谈,以探索他们的情商和幸福感经历。数据的主题分析概念化了三个主要主题,即“哦,我的上帝,我是不同的”:在英国感觉自己像个局外人;“You ' re a coconut”:在孟加拉裔英国人群体中,你被当成了局外人;以及通过民族身份获得“适当的归属感”。研究结果指出了情商在下一代移民的自我意识和幸福感中所起的作用。讨论了影响。

Mental health helping practices are often regulated via ethical rules. In some countries those rules are imposed via legal regulations, in others they are imposed by professional communities and are not state enforced. Surprisingly, empirical studies of ethics are somewhat limited. Also, ethics are often defined as ‘statements from the ethical codes’. However, obviously, written rules are perceived and followed by real people. So, the question is how these real people actually perceive what was designed and written as ‘norms’. The research question of this study is: how is ethics subjectively perceived by helping professionals (psychologists)? The pilot study was conducted on a sample of 89 practicing psychologists (data were collected Feb–Jun 2021) who were asked to evaluate ethical ‘norms’ from three ethical codes using 10 criteria. This showed that, after factorization, psychologists ‘divide’ norms into two groups: those protecting the wellbeing of the professional community or protecting the wellbeing of the client.
