Co-Founder and Webmaster

Ben Donner works primarily as an applied clinical psychologist with adults inscribed as 'learning disabled' or 'autistic'. This work is generally funded by the legal aid agency - a much overlooked pillar of the UK welfare state. Ben used to work as a lecturer at the University of Essex and was editor of the British Psychological Society publication 'Clinical Psychology Forum' between 2017 and 2020. He is still holding out for something different to the inevitable and hence is developing a professional interest in horticulture. Currently deputy editor of JCPCP and co-director of Egalitarian Publishing.
