About Shrink Rap

Shrink Rap is a deposit of useful links, featuring the latest research, news and gossip from the world of psychology. 

My name is Kathy James and I am co-founder of Tri City Psychology Services and creator of ShrinkRap.

I am located in Vancouver, British Columbia. I graduated from St. Martins School of Art as a graphic designer  and have progressed from being an illustrator of some 25 years, to building a private psychology practice and  obsessing daily about what’s happening in the world of psychology.

There are some amazing psychology blogs- Mind Hacks, Cognitive Daily, Psyblog  are just a few of my favorites. I certainly do not profess to possess such wonderful intellect! My small contribution is just to gather and feature  the snippets of interest out there on “th’internet”, and in my small way create an awareness of how psychology impacts us all.

Saesneg! Or should I say scouser! Well here’s a co-in-ki-dink I lived in Rock Ferry for 2 years and was a lecturer in Liverpool Art College ( Poly) … before emigrating to Canada 20 years ago!

The Hahneman Building? ( I think that’s how you spell it)
I used to have lectures in the Art College.. the Poly became Lpool John Moores University.. I did a Degree in Media and Journalism there.. before I did nursing.. I know not much of a connection… just my post-modern career structure!
So Im guessing you drank in the Phil, or The Everyman or even Ye Crack or at a push the Pilgrim? ( funny Im not a big drinkier but I obviously have a strong point of reference to ale houses! LOL)
The ‘Art Scene’ is a huge almost sub culture in Lpool.. not been part of it for a long time! But from what I remember it was quite incestuous LOL! My ex- / daughters father was the Gallery Director of The Open Eye.. so we seemed to be involved in lots of Arty and political things in the 80’s.. but I guess art and politics are always intertwined? I think that’s when I spent the most time in the pubs too..

Happy new year to you and yours too x

Sue
