Support for the Partners of Abuse Survivors
There are many resources on the Net for survivors of
abuse. This is a good thing. However, often overlooked
are the partners of these survivors and the specific
need for support that they have. It is to these partners
that the abpart-l list attempts to cater. Partners of
survivors are encouraged to share their experiences,
frustrations, pain and also their joy. The list
is unmoderated. However, all new subscribers' posts
are subject to review by the list owner for a short trial
period to screen out potential abusers of the list.

B. DISABLED
========
Disability within a
Social and Relational Context
We take a dialectical approach to the body
and psyche which attempts to resist both social
or biological determinism.
The forum aims specifically to focus on the
unconscious experiences of disability, as it is
socially constituted. This means examining the
emotional experience of disability, from the
perspective of both sides of
the 'disability'/'ability' binary.
We are interested in therapeutic work,
self-help and social forms of empowerment, as resources
in challenging disabling barriers in contemporary society.
We are also concerned to challenge the narrow focus on
function and loss which has characterised so much work
within psychoanalytic, psychological and rehabilitation
professions.
We see it as imperative that therapeutic work
around disability takes place within a setting which is
political and critical of the current oppression of
disabled people. We aim to foster critical dialogue
between medical, social and psychological perspectives
on physical impairment and learning difficulties.
Finally, we aim to foster discussion of post-
structuralist theory, in deconstructing
current assumptions about normality and difference.
The forum encourages contributions from students,
professionals and activists with an interest
in the body, learning difficulties and emotional pain.

C. HCONF
=====
Conference Forum with Guest Speakers on
Hydrocephalus
HCONF is an unmoderated list for people with
hydrocephalus, their friends and family members, health
care professionals and anyone else with an interest in
the condition. HCONF is designed as a conference list
in which guest "speakers" attend 2-3 week long
discussions on topics that relate to hydrocephalus.
Guest "speakers" are from the field of hydrocephalus
(professionals), agencies providing services to people
with hydrocephalus, and people involved with the
condition themselves.

D. HRAJ
====
Human Relations, Authority and Justice:
Experiences and Critiques
HRAJ is an open, unmoderated forum designed to encourage
the application of psychoanalytic and related
psychodynamic approaches to the understanding
of group, institutional, cultural and political
processes.
The forum is related to an electronic journal of the
same name based at:
http://www.human-nature.com/HRAJ/home.html
Most of those who are working on this project are
based in London, England and Sofia, Bulgaria
and work in the helping professions, organizational
consultancy and group relations, while some work with
ethnic minorities, crisis intervention, sexual abuse
and other applied spheres. What brings them together
is in the conviction that primitive, unconscious,
irrational processes play a much larger part in human
relations than is usually supposed and that unless
full account can be taken of these processes and unless
ways can be found to understand and contain them, improved
relations are unlikely to ensue at any levels of human
interaction from the individual to international
relations.
In particular, the group has made extensive use of
the approaches to human relations developed by Wilfred Bion
and others at the Tavistock Institute of Human
Relations, summarised in his Experiences In Groups (London:
Tavistock, 1961) and the tradition of group relations
and organizational consultancy which has followed on
from that work in the Tavistock and elsewhere, in particular,
in group relations conferences at Leicester and elsewhere,
e.g., America, Israel, Germany, Australia, India.

H. STUDSTAT
========
Students Learning
Statistics.
This list is run by students for students. Professors
and Instructors are allowed to join, but are asked not
to post. The list is designed to be an open forum for
students of all levels and fields. Often it seems easier
to ask a question of one's peers than of a teacher.
This forum should be considered an area free from attack
for "stupid questions". Often questions that one thinks
are stupid are questions everybody has had at some point
in there studies, so please ask. From time to time,
conversation motivators will be put out to the list to
encourage discussion about a variety of interesting
topics.

I. W2W-Couples
===========
Lesbian/bisexual Women
Discuss Relationships
W2W-Couples is a closed, moderated mailing list for
women who want to discuss issues about being in a loving
relationship with another woman.
The list exists as a place where we can discuss
the challenges of living in a heterosexist and homophobic
world as women in loving relationships with other women.
This is a space where lesbian and bisexual women can
discuss issues we face with others who will experience
or who have already dealt with the same issues. These
issues will include non/monogamy, merging vs. autonomy,
sex, domestic partnership benefits, dealing with family
members, anti-couple or pro-couple bias in our
communities, networking with other couples, among
other things.
