The Journal seeks to disseminate knowledge and experience to readers who are involved in the delivery, management, development, or design of care systems that are supportive, rehabilitative, educational, enabling or therapeutic.

It takes a positive and lively approach in seeking to develop awareness of the psychodynamics of what happens across a wide range of social/professional contexts. This takes in many levels of human experience, from the intrapsychic and interpersonal to the group or team the organisation and the wider political system.

A particular feature of the Journal is its concern with exploring psycho-social relations in a changing world, understanding conflict and stress, and exploring the relationship between individual experience, collective responsibility and empowerment, in clients and staff.
