GPO Poster Advisory Group

1937 International steamship network GPO by MacDonald Gill

In 1933, Sir Stephen Tallents was appointed to head up a new public relations department. He not only established (1933) the influential GPO Film Unit but also the (1934) GPO Poster Advisory Group . Tallents was the chair, and its members included Kenneth Clark, Clive Bell, John Grierson and Jack Beddington. This committee was established to advise on a series of new posters designed to promote post office services and update the GPO’s corporate image. A wide range of artists and graphic designers were commissioned to produce a range of modern art posters. (The artists included: MacDonald Gill, John Armstrong, Clifford Ellis, Rosemary Ellis, E. McKnight Kauffer, Edward Bawden, Duncan Grant, Stanley Spencer and Eric Fraser.) These were distributed to post offices and schools throughout the United Kingdom. The high artistic quality of these posters and their wide distribution has been credited with helping to foster a greater appreciation of abstract designs and modern art in Britain. However in 1937, after only 3 years the PAG was liquidated due to conflict between the GPO staff, in particular E.T. Crutchley who had replaced Tallents, and the rest of the Group.

, while his acumen in the field of graphic design led to the Post Office becoming a leader and trend setter in its use of posters for the purposes of marketing, information and publicity.

Short description|American psychologist}} Article for deletion/dated|page=Mike Abrams (psychologist)|timestamp=20250723022407|year=2025|month=July|day=23|substed=yes|help=off}}

Mike Abrams (born July 16, 1953) is an American psychologist and co-author with Albert Ellis of several works on rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). He is best known for extending CBT to include principles of evolutionary psychology and collaborating with the founder of CBT Albert Ellis to develop many new applications to for these clinical modalities. His new clinical method which applies evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics to CBT is called Informed Cognitive Therapy (ICT).

Abrams is an Adjunct Full Professor in the M.A. Program in Psychology at New York University where he teaches graduate level courses in modern psychotherapeutic technique, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Psychology of Sexuality. Abrams is also the managing partner of psychology for NJ, LLC a private self-funded clinical research organization. He is a contributor to About.com and is on the editorial board of Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts and several other journals. He actively researches the changing views and expectations of psychotherapy.

Prior to his work with Ellis and his more recent contributions to psychotherapy research, Abrams worked with people suffering from life-threatening illnesses and was the first non-gay psychologist to volunteer to counsel people with AIDS at the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York. This work led to a book co-authored with Ellis on Death and Dying. In it, he and Ellis rejected the stage theory of Kubler-Ross and replaced it with a constructivist model of the psychology of confronting mortality.

Work With Albert Ellis

Abrams was instrumental in the formalization of Albert Ellis' model of personality. Prior to the collaboration of Albert Ellis with Mike Abrams the REBT model of personality was limited to the ABCDE model of disturbed thinking and emotions. Their collaboration led to a more comprehensive explanation of normative and pathological personality by setting forth an iterative model of personality development. This more detailed explanation argued that the universal tendency towards irrational thinking that Ellis stated was universal. The Ellis - Abrams model proposed that people are innately and evolutionarily inclined towards rigid cognitive styles that included demandingness, absolutism, or dichotomous thinking. These irrational thinking styles were said to be exacerbated or attenuated during development by both life adversities and innate temperaments. This and related REBT personality theories were presented in the text Abrams coauthored with Ellis which was Ellis's only college textbook Personality Theories: Critical Perspectives.

Work on Evolutionary Psychology

After Ellis' death, Abrams continued Ellis's work on sexuality by taking an evolutionary psychology perspective to love and intimacy. This work reached fruition in his book on sexuality titled Sexuality: Development, Differences, and Disorders. The book is only textbook on human sexuality that takes an exclusively evolutionary perspective.

Abrams wrote the book utilizing a journalistic approach interviewing many of the best known evolutionary psychologists such as David Buss, Doug Kenrick, Helen Fisher, and J. Philipe Rushton to provide multiple and often conflicting perspectives. He further extended the work of Ellis by publishing the first article, along with David Buss, to apply evolutionary psychology to CBT.

Informed Cognitive Therapy

Recently, Abrams expanded upon the synthesis of CBT and evolutionary psychology with the book The New CBT: Clinical Evolutionary Psychology.

The Economics Network is one of the subject networks originally established by the Higher Education Academy (HEA). On its founding it was known as the Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN) for Economics later becoming independent of the HEA.

It has as its aims the improvement of learning and teaching in economics in the UK's higher education. It lists its strategic aims as:

1. Identifying, developing and disseminating evidence-informed approaches.
2. Brokering and encouraging the sharing and implementation of effective practice and innovation.
3. Supporting individual staff, departments and institutions in initiating and responding to change.
4. Informing, influencing and interpreting policy.
5. Celebrating and raising the status of teaching.
6. Operate a dynamic, highly participatory working environment that supports effective management, delivery and monitoring.

Notable activities

In March 2015 the Economics Network (supported by the Royal Economic Society) held a notable conference on "Revisiting the State of Economics Education" as a follow up to the conference at the Bank of England in 2012 on economics teaching and the financial the crisis.

Suzy J. Styles is a Nanyang Assistant Professor and Provost’s Chair in Psychology with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Her research is in the area of psycholinguistics and cognitive approaches to language acquisition. She is the director of the Brain, Language and Intersensory Perception Lab at NTU. She is fond of conducting multiple research projects on the already well-known bouba/kiki effect, which is the predominant topic in her oeuvre as a psychologist studying phonological phenomena.

In 2017 she and Nora Turoman published a paper in Royal Society Open Science that found that research subjects could guess the sounds represented by letters from unfamiliar alphabets better than would be expected from simple chance indicating the possibility of an innate ability to understand writing.
