If psychology is to address the despair and anguish that increasingly afflict us all, it needs to develop 'outsight'; to stop looking inside the head of each troubled individual that seeks its help and turn its gaze outwards. Causes of distress are not to be found in faulty or dysfunctional brains, but in the often toxic circumstances of our lives.
