    1. In recent years, our work at St. Joseph’s and at the Warner School has also beeninfluenced by the thinking of Canadian therapist, activist, and supervisor VikkiReynolds who, with Australian therapist Sekneh Hammoud-Beckett, has articu-lated the challenges of bringing the worlds of therapy and activism together. Intheir article titled “Bridging the Worlds of Therapy and Activism: Intersections,Tensions and Affinities,” Reynolds and Hammoud-Beckett (2012) say that “psy-chotherapy has much to answer for in terms of siding with oppression, and servingas a tool for social control that maintains oppressive structures of power—bothstate power and interpersonal power” (p. 58).

      Vick Reynolds's paper Collective ethics as a path to resisting burnout is also a must read. Additionally, I think it's worth reading all the works of Vikki and Sekneh for socialworkers to develop as therapists and activitists together.
