I am studying psychology with the goal of becoming a clinical psychologist. I am looking for any recommendations on readings of an anarchist approach to therapy and how it could be best implemented
I have a family member that may be moving back to Australia after divorcing her abusive ex-husband as the abuse has continued post-divorce and the police in the country she’s living in have been useless at protecting her, despite having a restraining order against him.
My family member is an Australian citizen and her ex-husband is not. She is terrified he will move to Australia and continue to harass her (due to the nature of his job, he would have very little difficulty obtaining a working visa and has worked in Australia in the past). When she returns to Australia is there any mechanism for her to report his domestic abuse so that if he were to make a visa application it would be denied on the grounds of bad character?
She has mountains of evidence of the abuse she’s suffered, but he’s never been charged with anything despite the courts awarding the restraining order due to the domestic violence.
I took Ivy to the vet yesterday (she’s fine, she has a bit of mild dermatitis on one foot) and as the vet was examining her she asked if Ivy was a good flier. I explained yes, she flies all over my house and is very nimble and quick, and the vet said that she’s incredibly fit and muscular, even beyond what is generally expected.
So, my parrot is buff. Which I think is hilarious. (Pic of Ivy in a container at the vet).
I live in the inner city suburbs in the north-west of Melbourne.
I have the door picked out, but it needs to be painted, the lock from the old door swapped to the new door and the new door also needs to be hung of course.
