News     Psychology in School June 2011   I was recently asked to deliver some sessions within Sweyne Park School in Rayleigh, to form part of their innovative and exciting  'Big Brain Week'. This event, the brainchild (pun intended!) of Helen Banks from the schools art department, was designed to encourage both thinking skills within the pupils and develop a deeper understanding of aspects of psychology.   Thus it was that on Tuesday 28th June, I worked with three groups of psychology students in the Library. Unfortunately, it was an incredibly hot day, but the students really enjoyed it and engaged with a range of ideas drawn from my subconscious and NLP  talks - from hidden messages to aspects of internal imagery and its effects on performance and motivation. Great fun!   . The Waterstones Artwork July 2011   I always enjoy getting psychology out there and engaging the public with it, so I was delighted to be asked to contribute to a wonderful arts project, currently on display in the town as part of the Artside project.    The piece is a bathtub, covered in psychology texts, and with a shower that when you pick it up and listen you can hear a short psychology talk - which is where I came in!     The piece, called 'Eureka' after Archimedes famous epiphany in the bath, explores the relationship of psychology and art, as well as gives the visitor and opportunity to take away a nugget of psychological information.    Created by artist and head of psychology at Southend High School for Girls, Debora D'Auria, and her pupils, the piece is on display for a little while, before going to the Southend High School for Girls summer fete on 17th September, so why not pop into Waterstones, and sit in the bath yourself!
