Abstract

I was shaken out of my usual slothfulness and moved to respond to a letter in The Psychologist (Honeyford, 1992) warning against Charles Husband's (1992) call for the adoption of a clear anti-racist policy by the BPS. My energy came from anger generated by my experience in supporting one of my students who, at the time, was a target of racial harassment by other students within my institution. My anger was fuelled by fear and distress aroused by my awareness of increasing racism on a world scale. This paper is a development from my letter in The Psychologist (1993). It is not written from any claim to particular expertise, but by way of developing and sharing my own thoughts and as a contribution to what I hope will become a commitment of the SGCP to develop an explicitly anti-oppressive policy and guidelines for practice.
