A. CINMHC
------
The CINMHC (California InterNetwork of Mental Health
Clients) List is the interim electronics and
communication portion of the CNMHC (California Network
of Mental Health Clients). The focus of the list is
California specific, to discuss California legislation,
California county implementations, issues with local
Mental Health Boards, self-help in California, managed
care in California, and other related topics.

B. CrossTalk
---------
Critical Psychology
This list should serve as a medium for discussing
matters of theory and practice related to psychological
work in different academic and professional fields. One
focus lies on problems where what used to be called
'psychological expertise' is challenged: either by the
demands of social reality where research and practice
are situated or by articulating a political perspective
on scientific matters.
The initiators are students and graduates linked to the
tradition of critical psychology, the historical science
of the subject. We particularly hope to encourage
contributions not necessarily fitting the established,
"academic" communication channels. The list is
administrated by an automatic device and could be
subscribed by everybody using an E-mail- address.

C. DEPEN-CRIT
----------
Dependency and Self-Criticism in Psychological Health
and Psychological Functioning
DEPEN-CRIT is a list for psychologists, psychiatrists,
and other mental health researchers and clinicians who
maintain an interest in the personality variables of
dependency and self-criticism, and the role that these
variables play in psychological health and psychological
functioning. One focus of the list is Blatt's
introjective-anaclitic theory, a seminal approach in
this area; however, multiple theoretical perspectives
are invited, and open discussion and debate is welcome.

D. DISSOCIATIVE-DISORDERS
----------------------
DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS is a mailing list for
professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of
dissociative disorders, and in research on dissociation.
The list is a part of InterPsych. This list contains
lively discussion of clinical and theoretical issues.
List membership is open to licensed mental health
professionals and those practicing under their
supervision, graduate students enrolled in a mental
health curriculum, and researchers who have published on
relevant topics in peer-reviewed journals.

E. group-l
-------
Groups and Group-related Topics
group-l is sponsored by the Center for Group Learning,
and is for discussion and announcements about groups and
group-related topics. By 'groups' we mean (for example)
the ones you find yourself in at home, work, school,
socially, etc. Many group theories & practices consider
groups as entities in their own right, made up of
people. This is analogous to how a human being is made
up of individual cells, or a galaxy is made up of stars.
Seeing a bunch of people as a group, or as several
individual people is a matter of perspective--neither is
right or wrong, and both are useful depending on what
you're trying to do.
A few of the theories/processes we're interested in at
group-l: T-groups, Tavistock, Dialogue, Process Work
(formerly Process-Oriented Psychology), Open Space,
Facilitation, Leadership, Consensus, Future Search,
personality typing (MBTI, Enneagram), NLP, Strategic
Questioning

I. SOC-FIX
-------
Societal and Relational Caretaking
The SOC-FIX list is for debate and discussion of those
things which help people, or enable people, depending on
your persuasion. The focus is an attempt to address
codependency and collectivism as one problem, with
selfishness and personal responsibility as the cure.
Topics may be personal, such as family problems, or
political, relative to society as a whole. This list
may also serve a support function for anyone desiring
it.
This list is not intended for those who are religious.
Subscribe if you are religious, but please be advised
that you may find some text offensive, and religious
debating belongs on other lists. This list is
unmoderated.

procrastinating), moods (e.g., depression), behaviors
(e.g., overeating), thinking patterns (e.g., obsessing),
and addictions (e.g., drinking).
The list utilizes a format called PSyCHE (an acronym
representing Problem, Solution, Comment, and HElp),
which is explained in detail in the welcome letter.

K. RURAL_DOCTORS
-------------
The RURAL_DOCTORS list was formed in order to discuss
the everyday problems and practice of medicine as
experienced by rural doctors, who may experience periods
of isolation from their colleagues. The adventure
involves a dependable electronic link for information
and support from list friends and cohorts.
The list is also open to health professionals who are,
due to circumstances, the "de facto" doctor in the
community. The goal is to offer help, support, and
creative thought to one another, in order to inspire the
"Art of Medicine" in one's own life.

2. WEB Sites
===================================================
A. Adlerian theory
--------------
A new online document, "Classical Adlerian Theory and
Practice," by Henry Stein and Martha Edwards, offers a
comprehensive overview of Alfred Adler's philosophy of
living, model of the personality, theory of
psychopathology, and technique of psychotherapy.
Comments and questions may be posted on the Behavior
OnLine Adlerian Discussion Forum (BOL). A link is
provided on the AAISF home page to BOL.
The document is a chapter from a new book
"Psychoanalytic Versions of the Human Condition and
Clinical Practice," edited by Paul Marcus and Alan
Rosenberg. The book includes contributions from
representatives of 17 different theoretical perspectives
and is scheduled to be published later this year. Dr
Marcus has kindly granted permission to post this
chapter on the Internet.
Located at the Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco
Web site, the document may be accessed at:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hstein/theoprac.htm
B. Australian Transcultural Mental Health Network
----------------------------------------------
Some of you will be interested in a new WWW page set up
in Australia by the Australian Transcultural Mental
Health Network. The WWW page includes information about
programs and organizations working on transcultural
mental health issues in Australia and other countries.
It also includes a searchable database containing around
2000 articles on the area.

Stephen Ziguras s.ziguras@medicine.unimelb.edu.au
C. Confidentiality - Supreme Court Decision
----------------------------------------
On-Line readable versions of the Supreme Court opinions
in the Jaffee v. Redmond case, establishing a
confidentiality privilege in U.S. Evidence for
psychotherapists, counsellors, analogous to lawyer-
client or husband-wife privilege, are available on the
American Psychoanalytic Association's WWW site.
There is also a .zip archive of the majority and
dissenting opinions in WordPerfect 6 format available at
the same address.

D. Introductory Psychology Course
------------------------------
I am offering a 1st year university course on world wide
web in September that I thought might be relevant for
upper-year/graduating high-school students or others
interested in distance education courses. The course is
Introduction to Psychology, one that is taken by
students with many different majors. It is only for
students who have world wide web experience. There is an
announcement and further information at

E. JOURNAL FOR THE THEORY OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
------------------------------------------
JOURNAL FOR THE THEORY OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR publishes
original and methodological articles which aim to
further the understanding of the relationship between
social structures and human agency. The journal links
a number of disciplines, including psychology,
philosophy and sociology, and offers essential access to
key issues - through new models of behaviour, analysis
of philosophic assumptions, proposals for new research
methods, and critiques of existing theories.
JOURNAL FOR THE THEORY OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR includes
articles on identity and argumentation, the evolution of
emotions in humans, and positioning theory, and covers
the ideas of philosophers from Darwin to Wittgenstein.
If anyone would like more information on JOURNAL FOR
THE THEORY OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR (including information of
the FREE special issue included with a subscription) and
a FREE sample copy, they should send an email, including
YOUR FULL NAME & POSTAL ADDRESS, to:

F. Psychodynamic Resources
-----------------------
Sheffield Centre for Psychotherapeutic Studies
The Centre for Psychotherapeutic Studies at the
University of Sheffield has been gathering information
about email forums, web sites and related matters likely
to be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists,
psychiatrists and others interested in mental health and
human nature. These have recently been greatly expanded
and updated. We believe this to be the most
comprehensive resource from a broadly psychodynamic
point of view, and it includes links to philosophy and
to the history, philosophy and social studies of the
natural and human sciences, technology & medicine. Every
listing has an html link; clicking it will take you
directly to the listed forum or site.
URL: http://www.shef.ac.uk/~psysc/
Some of the lists have been compiled by me and some by
Ian Pitchford, and both of us have drawn on other lists.
The site is maintained by Helen Davies.

G. Psychology-On-Line
------------------
Psychology-On-Line is a new electronic journal closely
allied to Psychiatry-On-Line and will, broadly, follow a
similar format.
Essentially Psychology-On-Line will be a vehicle for
researchers, clinicians and students to quickly and
efficiently disseminate details of their work to a broad
based audience comprising of both professionals and
members of the lay public. The lead time for Psychology-
On-Line this can be cut down to about six weeks. This
will allow readers to stay abreast of developments
within the field very soon after they occur and will
allow meaningful comment and discussion between
interested parties.
Initially Psychology-On-Line will be a broad based,
generic, journal catering to all disciplines within the
field of psychology. Psychology-On-Line will,
eventually, be split into electronic journals covering
the various sub-disciplines of psychology.
When journal articles are first received they will be
read by the section editor and sent to an appropriate
referee, on a blind review basis, who will then pass the
article back to the section editor with one of three
possible recommendations:
1. The article is accepted as it stands.
2. The article is accepted subject to revision.
3. The article is rejected.
In the event of the article being accepted it will then
be formatted and published. If revisions are required,
the article will be returned electronically to the
author with the appropriate comments attached.
The following types of papers are invited:
1. Papers reporting original empirical investigations.
2. Theoretical papers which may be commentaries on
established theories.
3. Review papers which should aim to provide systematic
overviews, evaluations and interpretations of research
within the field of psychology.
4. Letters on previously published papers or letters of
general interest to psychologists.
All papers submitted should be original works, not under
submission to any other journal and should not exceed
5,000 words. Authors should bear in mind the guidelines
laid down by the British Psychological Society regarding
the use of sexist language, racist language etc.
In the first instance, articles intended for publication
should be sent to:
Ian Sutherland
ians@mail.zynet.co.uk
or on 3.5 inch disk in Word 6 for Windows format to:
Ian Sutherland
Dept. Of Psychology
University of Plymouth
Drakes Circus, Plymouth
PL4 8AA, England
H. Therapy Online
--------------
Therapy Online offers professional, confidential
counselling services to the online community. Their
services include ASK PATtY Q, which offers professional
answers to your questions, and Therap-e-mail, a form of
therapeutic e-mail interaction which is akin to co-
authoring your own self-help book. An easy self-test
helps clients to decide which service best suits their
needs.
Also available at the site is the current Victory Story,
a recounting of different people's successes over
problems. And the Sites of Distinction, a set of high
quality Health Promotion links that adhere to strict
criteria developed by Therapy Online.
Therapy Online is run by Lawrence Murphy and Dan
Mitchell, therapists in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. Both hold Master's degrees in Counselling
Psychology and are members of the Canadian Guidance and
Counselling Association. Their areas of expertise cover
a broad range of issues including stress, parenting,
men's issues, addictions, relationship problems, and a
host of others.
