A critical, interdisciplinary, and qualitative journal dedicated to research, art, and writing that broadly examines the complex intersections between psychology, gender, and trauma. Vol. 1 Vol. 2 Information for Authors JPGT publishes on a rolling basis, when individual submissions have been through our publishing process. A new volume is started for each section when a maximum of three submissions have been completed. This means that we can have multiple issues in progress simultaneously, which reduces the pressure on editors and authors to produce articles and issues quickly, and removes the need for rigid deadlines. JPGT embraces slow scholarship, allowing authors to take their time over their work in a low-stress environment with support from our editorial team. This forms part of our work in dismantling harmful 'norms' in academia and publishing. ​ Vol. 1 Publication Submission Status: ​ Articles: OPEN ​ Commentaries: OPEN ​ Book Reviews: OPEN ​ Creative Works: CLOSED (Vol. 2 Open) Articles From Inclusivity to Decentralization: An Interview with Jem Tosh on Imagining an Alternative Psychology in the Context of Othering, Transphobia, and Sexual Consent Dr. Güler Cansu Ağören (2023) ​ pp. A1-A19 ​ ​ ​ ​ Original published in Feminist Tahayyül , translated from Turkish: ​ Jem Tosh is a nonbinary psychologist who specializes in gender and trauma. They are a member of several international psychological societies; the aut hor of books entitled, Perverse Psychology (Tosh, 2014), Psychology and Gender Dysphoria: Feminist and Transgender Perspectives (Tosh, 2016a), and The Body and Consent in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Medicine: A Therapeutic Rape Culture (Tosh, 2020), as well as numerous articles and blog posts. In their work, they follow a critical approach that suggests that psychology and psychiatry can be understood as social institutions that function to normalize power hierarchies and social oppression, and they developed this critical approach in new and important directions by analyzing the definitions and explanations of these disciplines to sexual violence, femininity, sexual desire, and gender nonconformity. After practicing within the confines of academia for a period of time, Jem ventured beyond the established boundaries of mainstream psychology, even though their work had already transcended those confines... Commentaries What is genderfluidity? Dr. Jem Tosh (2021) ​ pp. C1-C9 ​ $6.99 ​ ​ I came out as genderfluid on National Coming Out Day in 2018, and more recently I have started to write about my gender in my published work (e.g. Tosh, 2020). For the most part, the response I have received has been positive and supportive, but over two years later I still find that the most common response to me 'outing' myself as genderfluid is one of confusion. I can see the anxiety on loving faces as they worry about 'getting it wrong' while trying their best to be supportive, I hear colleagues and acquaintances apologise in advance of making mistakes because they are so sure that they will misgender or offend me in some way, I watch as allies and strangers grapple with how to show their support for something that they do not fully understand. So, below I answer some common questions about what genderfluidity is and how you can support the genderfluid people in your life... Book Reviews Sex object: A memoir - Jessica Valenti Krista Carson (2017) ​ pp. B1-B7 ​ ​ Jessica Valenti is a columnist at The Guardian US , founder of feministing.com, and author of several books about women's issues (e.g. Friedman & Valenti, 2008; Valenti, 2010, 2014). In her recent book, Sex Object: A Memoir (Valenti, 2016), which is a New York Times bestseller, she recounts her experiences growing up in Queens, N.Y. She reflects on her relationships, motherhood, and most prominently, her weariness of the everyday sexism she has endured. Valenti describes how living in a sexist and misogynistic culture has shaped her life. The book offers a compelling account of the author's own experiences with issues such as sexual double standards, sexual objectification, and sexualized violence in the US. Sex Object begins with Valenti asking, "Who would I be if I lived in a world that didin't hate women?" (p. 2). She discusses what object status means to her, and how objectification has been a normative and inevitable part of her lived experience, pondering the cumulative effects of this. They continued regardless: Discussing a therapeutic rape culture with Jem Tosh Dan Oudshoorn (2020) ​ pp. B8 - B22 Near the opening of The Body and Consent in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Medicine (2020), Jem Tosh very openly explains where she is situated in relation to the subject matter she will go on to discuss. Rather than seeking to advance her academic brand status by positioning herself amongst the intelligentsia (by highlighting her ability to engage in rigourous “objective” research, pursue “the facts” no matter where they lead, publish with all the right imprints, teach at all the right institutions, and so on and so forth), Tosh proudly stands in the tradition of the “organic intellectual” (as per Gramsci) or the “critic as partisan” (as per Eagleton). Tosh is personally invested in this subject matter - she has been subjected to this way of mattering (as per Foucault with Karen Barad’s discussion of meaning and matter in Meeting the Universe Halfway ) - but along with those who are exploring ableism, madness, race, gender, sexuality, and class from liminal spaces (which are embraced rather than seen as environments to overcome or transcend)... ​ ​ Creative Works Womb-wounded Dee Lister (2018) ​ p.

Accidental journeys Aisling Keavey (2018) ​ pp. CR5 - CR11 Accidental journeys traces both the historical and contemporary journey the Irish diaspora took from Ireland to England by photographing a journey from East Croyden to Gatwick Airport using black and white analogue film, then adding dates of famine ships sailing from Cobh to America in the 1840s and 1850s over the images. By placing the images out of chronological order, post-structuralist narrative is alluded to and also shows that meaning is constructed at the point of engagement with the image by the viewer, which also helps the images reference an invisibility of place. There are no defining features of place in any of the images which aids in the defamiliarisation of the landscape... also known as Dr. Jemma Tosh (deadname)

OEI Therapy Observed & Experiential Integration Therapy Observed and Experiential Integration (OEI) Therapy was originated in 1995 in Vancouver, BC by marriage and family therapist (Audrey Cook), and co-developed with a registered psychologist (Rick Bradshaw) (in 2003 David Grand developed a similar approach known as ' brainspotting '). One highlight of OEI is that the techniques can address all three levels of human response as outlined by Porges (2001, 2007 [Polyvagal Theory]): (a) social connection (i.e. ventral vagal, brake on), (b) fight or flight (ventral vagal, brake off), and (c) freeze (dorsal vagal). The social connection level is addressed in OEI through neuro-activation with micro-attunement (NAMA). In terms of the fight, flight and freeze level of human response, OEI techniques serve to dissipate panic and distress symptoms. Dissociative artefacts [e.g. headaches] are addressed and resolved quickly with other procedures. OEI is a 'bottom-up' neurobiological therapy , in that is uses physical sensations and trauma reactions to connect to the memories for healing, rather than the other way around. It is an advancement and extension of EMDR methods . From SightPsych Seminars Inc . and 'A word to new psychologists on levels of intervention: Don't forget neurobiological treatments in your training and practice' by Rick Bra dshaw, published in BC Psychologist : ​ Observed & Experiential Integration (OEI) is a new psychotherapy for psychological trauma and dissociation that involves alternately covering and uncovering the eyes, and tracking a visual stimulus. Deeper parts of the brain associated with intense symptoms like panic attacks, nausea, hyperventilation, and throat constriction are the targets of this new intervention, along with areas of the prefrontal cortex associated with emotional processing. The theory is that during psychological traumas the 6 major muscles of the eye are moving the eyeball in various directions to follow or locate visual stimuli and intra-ocular muscles adjust to focus the lens and dilate or constrict the pupil. It is hypothesised that messages from the visual fields and the eye muscles are transmitted to the brain through the visual pathway to the visual cortex in the back of the brain. When someone then recalls that same experience, the information is brought forward, including the sensations, visual movement patterns, and body symptoms. As the therapist guides the eye, tiny halts, skips, and 'glitches' can be seen at the points that seem associated with these earlier trau matic experiences. By 'massaging' (guiding) one or both eyes in various directions, the stored multisensory experiences can be re-accessed briefly and released in terms of intensity, providing relief from current and future 'triggers' associated with those cues in the environment. This 'integration' is thought to occur both across the hemispheres of the brain, and vertically within the hemispheres. It is used to treat many conditions, including PTSD, agitated depression, eating disorders, dissociation, addictions, and relationship conflicts. ​ During OEI treatment, you will be asked to focus on upsetting events, people, emotions, and physical sensations. As you do so, we believe that the brain and eyes work together to bring forward 'mappings' of the eye movements that occurred during the related traumas (e.g. whether an upsetting person or object was moving toward or away from you, above or below your eye level, in the centre or to the side of your eyes, at particular distances from your eyes). By guiding your eyes over specific places in your eyes, the therapist can dissipate the associated physical and emotional intensity. 'It's a bit weird, but it works!'

Discourse Analysis What is discourse analysis? Discourse analysis is an interdisciplinary qualitative research methodology that draws on philosophy, sociology, politics, and other critical perspectives to analyse language and social meaning in texts. Texts can be written language, body language, imagery, sounds, interpersonal interactions, colours, and more. ​ What is critical discursive psychology? Critical discursive psychology uses discourse analysis in its examination of psychological and psychiatric narratives and concepts. Rather than study people or human behaviour, critical psychology turns the lens to the profession and discipline itself. It focuses on and challenges issues around power and oppression in the psy disciplines.
