Rocklands

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In Rocklands Liezille Jacobs reframes psychology not only as a profession but as a profound calling that is intertwined with personal and societal evolution. Traversing her own personal journey from her adverse childhood experiences in Rocklands Mitchell's Plain to being the first black Head of Department at Rhodes University in 120 years Jacobs illuminates the interconnectedness of personal professional and public roles advocating for a shift from careerism to a movement grounded in shared values and principles. </span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>At the same time the book makes a brave and erudite scholarly contribution to the field of pyshology. Its method is unvonventional but carefully considered. Those who have provided comments on the manusript concur - this book is essential reading for students and academics families and patriarchs in equal measure.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The transformation imperative within psychology demands a stance of activism if not revolution against systems of oppression. This stance urges readers to view this book not only as an academic exercise but as a profound transformative exploration of giving psychology away; emphasising the idea of making psychological knowledge and expertise more accessible to the general public and sharing the benefits of psychological science with society to improve peoples lives.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
