BARBARA LLOYD is Emeritus Reader in Social Psychology at the University of Sussex, a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and a senior member of the British Association of Psychotherapists. She has a private, psychoanalytic practice in Brighton. After taking early retirement in 1990 she worked at the University of Sussex until 2004 with Dr. Kevin Lucas from Brighton University. Their research examined the impact of gender on teenage cigarette smoking and together they produced two volumes. The first is Smoking in Adolescence: Images and Identities (1998) Routledge, with J. Holland, S. McGrellis and S. Arnold, the report of a large scale Department of Health funded study. The second is Health Promotion Evidence and Experience (2005) Sage, a new approach to health promotion founded on a belief in the indivisibility of the individual from society.
