I am writing to you about the International Journal of Critical Psychology. Like many others, the publishing industry is facing difficult times. For small publishing houses, such as Lawrence & Wishart (publishers of the International Journal of Critical Psychology), these difficulties are acute. They have therefore indicated to us that it is a matter of urgency that we increase subscriptions to the journal. We recognise that you, or your institution, may be experiencing similar difficulties. However, we are asking you for an act of support for the journal. Survival of the journal critically depends on subscriptions. If you see value in the contribution the journal makes to the field of critical psychological inquiry, then we ask you to consider, if you have not already done so, taking out a personal and/or institutional subscription. It will make a difference. Thanks so much Valerie Walkerdine For subscription details contact: Lawrence & Wishart Ltd. 99a Wallis Rd.
