Routledge launches Mental Health podcast
Beginning May 2008, we're releasing regular interviews with figures in the world of mental health, asking them about their fields of interest, opinions, and published works.
In our first podcast episode, Jane Harris interviews Denise Cullington, author of Breaking Up Blues, an indispensable, practical self-help book for those going through break-up and divorce.
Denise Cullington is a psychoanalyst living and working in Oxford. She trained at the Institute of Psychoanalysis; the Tavistock Clinic, London; and as a Clinical Psychologist.

New Health Psychology Arena
Welcome to our new Health Psychology arena - we hope you the find new features and improvements exciting and useful.
We hope you find this arena very easy to navigate around, because we know that you want to find the information you're after quickly, whether it's the 'buy now' link for a particular book, the date & venue of a forthcoming conference, or the online version of a specific academic journal article.
We've added a number of new features to address your changing demands and requirements.
We hope we've made this arena invaluable for you, and we'd encourage you to add this site to your favourites, post it to del.icio.us (if you're a del.icio.us user), blog about it (then let us know), or recommend it to your friends and colleagues.
Here's a very brief overview of some of the new features:
RSS Feeds of latest titles
We've created an RSS Feed of our newest Health Psychology books so that you can subscribe to receive news of our latest titles. RSS feeds are an increasingly popular way to check for news and updates from all the websites you regularly visit without having to visit them all individually.
We've created a page to explain more about RSS, which will also help you to subscribe using a wide range of freely available RSS Feed Readers.
You can also use our RSS feed to display an automatically-updated list of our latest Health Psychology titles on your blog or website (let us know if you do this because we'd be interested to see).
Conferences
We've launched our Health Psychology listings with an interactive map (see screenshot, right), allowing you to see, at a glance, all of the events that are coming up near you.
You can zoom in for a closer look (close enough, in some cases, to get street directions!) and click on the map markers for conference details and a link to the conference's home page.
Health Psychology-related Blog Posts, Country-specific book listings, and more
There's a wealth of other new features, including the latest Blog Posts from around the world which have been tagged as being about Health Psychology, and we've also made sure that all the books you see are available in your country by automatically identifying which country you're in (on the rare occasions when we might get it wrong you can manually override it on the User Preferences page).
We're very excited about the changes we've made to this arena, and as we mentioned earlier, we'll be updating all of our arenas over the coming months. But we don't want to rest on our laurels, so we'll be looking for new ways to improve the arenas and new features to offer you.
If you have any suggestions or comments then please don't hesitate to let us know.
