Cockney Kid
The renaissance man of New Zealand pschology was how colleague Jules Older characterized Professor Tony Taylor of Victoria University in Wellington, in the NZ Listener. The accolade reflects the astonishing range of internationally acclaimed original research Professor Taylor has published in 290 academic papers on subjects as eclectic as the differences between male and female prison tattoos, Antarctic stress, wind phobia,adolescent hysteria induced by The Beatles. Tony Taylor was the first professor of clinical psychology in the British Commonwealth -not bad for a poor kid who grew up between the world wars mired without prospects in London's Docklands. These memoirs demonstrate how he did it from cockney kid and wartime naval service to his present eminence helping the most destructive and stressed people in our community cope better with their lives.
John Lennon in Conversations with Tony Taylor
Earl of Seacliff Art Workshop is publishing a unique interview with John Lennon which was recorded when The Beatles were in New Zealand in 1964. It was recorded by Psychology Professor Dr Tony Taylor who was at the time doing a study into Beatlemania. It gives a remarkable insight into Lennon's thoughts regarding fame, music and life generally at a time when the group was still new to all the world-wide adulation they were receiving. I think this is something of a coup for a New Zealand publisher as it must be one of the last unpublished interviews with John Lennon. The book also contains Dr Michael O'Leary's poem 'The Flipside of the Ballad of John and Yoko' as an antidote to the effects of fame.
Justice as a Basic Human Need
Psychologists in different tributaries of the discipline have long been preoccupied with aspects of 'Justice', but none previously has addressed the essential question raised in this book - namely of justice being as vital to the essentials of life and to the flowering of the human spirit as other basic needs. The same can be said for academics and practitioners in other disciplines in social science, as well as those in mental health and psychiatry. Although lawyers might come close to accepting the proposition, it seems to me that in the main their professional expertise is directed to the superficial maintenance of systems of justice rather than to the underlying reasons for doing so. This book, arising from academic, clinical, empirical, and theoretical studies, goes the further mile by giving justice its proper place in the hierarchy of basic human needs. It is designed in accord with a general systems theory in which contributions are welcomed from international scholars and researchers in different domains of knowledge. Above all, it is written in the hope of inducing others to share a commitment to justice and do their utmost to prevent injustice.
