BLIND-DEV on LISTSERV@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU
-------------------------------------------
BLIND-DEV is an unmoderated discussion list dedicated to
the detailed discussion of issues concerning the
development of computer products and adaptive equipment
for blind and visually impaired computer users. This
includes both hardware and software development on any system.
The purpose of BLIND-DEV is to serve as a catalyst which will
both spur and speed the development of software which will
enable the blind user to use emerging technologies, platforms,
operating systems, and applications as they are developed, so
that access is built-in, rather than retrofitted.
Example topics of discussion include, but are not limited to:
* design strategies
* accessibility APIs, such as MSAA
* Text-to-speech APIs, such as SSIL and SAPI
* Off-screen models (OSMs)
* Braille output APIs
* Relevant operating system issues
BLIND-DEV, therefore, is a conduit through which software
developers and users--whatever their area of interest, level
of expertise, operating system and/or hardware platform of
choice -- are able to dialogue, brainstorm, and educate one
another. While BLIND-DEV is intended as a technologically
oriented list, list "lurkers" are also welcome to monitor
this dialogue.

Blind-Issues on LISTSERV@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU
----------------------------------------------
Blind-Issues. If you are in the mood for a spirited
debate, Blind-Issues can accommodate.
Many things affect the lives of the blind and visually
impaired in everyday life. With this in mind, we thought a
list which dealt with the major issues of the day would be
a welcome addition to the lists specifically designed for
the blind and visually impaired.
Topics which bog down and consume other E-mail lists are
welcome on Blind-Issues, such as:
Blind Organizations and their goals, policies, conventions
and treatment of social issues,
transportation issues specific to the blind,
discrimination shown by society toward the blind,
the general anger and frustration which may be a part of
every day life, and whatever else makes you a little hot
under the collar.
We want Blind-Issues to be a list for you to vent your
frustrations or a place to find a sympathetic ear.
If you are in the mood for a spirited debate, blind-issues
can accomodate!

Encephalomyelitis (also Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and

sufferers find themselves in.

achieved is through effective distribution and exchange

patient groups, as well as other organizations/institutions.
Therefore, the list is open to individuals and groups who
are interested, either professionally or personally, in
Canadian information pertaining to ME/CFS and FM. Because

THE DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER CASE STUDIES LIST
The didcs-l list is dedicated entirely to the sharing of case
studies and clinical experiences relating to DID/MPD or severe
DD-NOS. The list is open to all licensed clinicians, registered
interns, university level instructors, as well as Ph.D. or masters
level students who are actively in practicum.
There is not enough understanding of DID/MPD within the clinical
community, let alone the general public, and this forum was created
with this in mind, to provide another way for those concerned with
and interested in dissociative disorders a way to find information to
assist them with their clients.
As there will be a wide array of experience and understanding of
DID/MPD or DD-NOS, the one important thing to remember in this forum
is that no question or point of sharing is less than anyone else's,
and it is my hope that those with more expertise in the area of
dissociative disorders will provide some direction or thoughts to those
less experienced. New ideas and opinions are always welcome, and no
one should be hesitant to share her/his ideas or thoughts, as no one
really knows where the next helpful tidbit of information will
come from.

JEWISH-PSY list on the SHAMASH Network
--------------------------------------
The purpose of this list is to provide a forum for
psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, rabbis and those in
related academic and professional fields, to discuss the relationships
between Jewish values, beliefs, practices and culture, and
psychology/psychiatry. Examples of some topics of interest are:
1) In what ways might the moral and religious teachings of
Judaism or other cultural values of Jews, enhance
psychological well-being and in what ways might they be
detrimental to them?
2) How are therapists to deal with what they perceive to be
incompatibilities between their patients' religious beliefs
and practices and their emotional health?
3) What are the psychological assumptions embedded in Jewish
religion and culture, and how do they compare with
contemporary psychological theories and assumptions?
4) How are therapists to deal with conflicts between their own
Jewishly related values and those of their patients on matters
that might have therapeutic significance?
5) What are some of the psychological dimensions of cultural,
religious and political challenges being faced by Jews today
and what are appropriate responses to them?
Discussions can be about theoretical issues, clinical examples
or the relationship between theory and practice. If examples from
clinical cases are presented, confidentiality of patients should be
protected.
JEWISH-PSY is moderated by Dr. Solomon Schimmel, Professor
of Psychology and Education at Hebrew College, 43 Hawes Street,
Brookline, MA 02146. Dr. Schimmel is the author of "The Seven
Deadly Sins: Jewish, Christian and Classical Reflections on Human
Nature (The Free Press, 1992) which examines the relevance for
psychotherapy of religious and philosophical teachings on Pride,
Envy, Anger, Greed, Gluttony, Lust and Sloth.

information between parents and professionals who share a
common interest in children and teens, mental health issues,
parenting, education, counseling, behavioral and optional
issues, medications and other relevant topics. You will receive

further our objectives for the list. These would include new books,

relationship with a person who will provide personal care is a
difficult and complicated process. It can also be a rewarding
productive experience for all involved.
In the past, it has been next to impossible for people with
disabilities to communicate with each other for the purposes of
finding out methods of dealing with problems, locating resources
(financial and potential employee pools) and supporting each other
through difficult times.
This list is being offered to provide a bridge between people with
disabilities who use PCAís so that they can share their experiences,
ideas, wisdom and creative suggestions. We also want to help
disseminate the latest information on governmental legislation that
may directly effect accessibility to personal care assistance.
This list also welcomes Personal Care Assistants, caregivers,
families and friends of those who use these services.

Affinity Books & Resource Center would like to announce
a new discussion list devoted to the topic of the drug
combination known as Phen-fen.

methods of weight management. We will initially use this
list as a means of support and encouragement for those
who have been affected by Phen-fen adversely. IF the list
becomes inundated with people and the need for separate
lists becomes apparent, we will start a separate list for
support and encouragement.
The target audience for the list are those who are currently
taking these drugs, are considering taking the drugs or
have taken the drugs for weight management and are
interested in the side effects, long term health problems
believed to be associated with Phen-fen and alternatives to
Phen-fen for weight management.

question of suicide, developing different points such as:
exploring the mechanisms of suffering, understanding the
question of death through the understanding of life;
approaching the role of external, social, cultural and
religious factors; defining the place of spiritual practices
such as relaxation, meditation, self-awareness and others in
the fulfillment of a feeling of despair and dissatisfaction.

groups or "youth serving" organizations? Are you ready to
join or form a group of parents who feel the same way?
Need some ideas to spur you on? Have some strategies to
share? Does your local group want to connect up with
other groups via the Internet? If so, join us.
We are the parents of the TAGFAM on-line community and
we've decided that it's time to join together
and take action.
TAGFORUM is for parents, educators, and other
professionals and members of the community who
are interested in providing developmentally
appropriate programs for the intellectually
gifted children in their midst. We have a
particular interest in securing changes in
current education policy and the provision
a developmentally appropriate and intellectually
challenging education FOR ALL CHILDREN INCLUDING THE
INTELLECTUALLY GIFTED.
TAGFORUM will play host to challenging discussions
and debates on current issues of interest to
the TAG community:
Education & Social Policy, Practice, and Implementation
Community Issues (TAG children in sports, clubs, and
other social groups or "youth" programs)
Advocacy Efforts: local, state, regional, national
Information & Strategies for advocacy and lobbying
TAGFORUM is the most recent addition to the TAG Family of
mailing lists hosted by SJU. Whereas the TAGFAM mailing
list looks inward, towards issues affecting
intellectually gifted individuals & their families,

affecting our communities and nations.

development and growth of community outreach and
advocacy efforts benefitting Talented and Gifted

trance on Majordomo@trance.ch
-----------------------------
Trance theory discussion
The trance list was started to discuss Dennis Wier's
trance theory which includes these types of trances:
meditation, hypnotic, addictive, and centric or
charismatic trance.
Discussion including questions about creating,
terminating and analyzing trance from this specific
theoretical point of view is welcome. Cults, hypnotic
theory, compulsive behaviors, shamanistic, magic and
occult trances are also likely to be discussed.

differences between trance theory and other theories
of consciousness and to develop practical research
ideas based on these differences.

well as those with practical experience in trance
(by whatever definition) are encouraged to participate.

The Canadian Psychiatric Association Bulletin is
an electronic version of the print newsletter with

(CPA) publishes the Bulletin bimonthly in both
forms. It serves as a forum for the exchange of
views on current legislation and public affairs,
and announces events and programs of interest to
the psychiatric and mental health care community.
Peer-reviewed papers are published that are relevant
to clinical practice, clinical applications of
research findings, teaching, and service delivery
innovations. The Bulletin is mailed to all members
of the CPA. Members are encouraged to express their
views and submit articles for peer review, letters,
news, announcements, and calendar items for publication.

HIPPIAS
-------
A peer-reviewed search engine for philosophy.
Hippias covers philosophy on the Internet
comprehensively, yet reduces information
overload. It includes all and only those
sites judged to be relevant to philosophy by
the Hippias editors. Unlike other search engines
without this peer-review component, it returns
very few false positives.
For example, Alta Vista returns about 40,000 hits
on "Descartes" these days, most of them irrelevant
to philosophers (for example, a software company
and a consulting service). Hippias returns
around 200 hits, each of them relevant.

BALINT on listserv@maelstrom.stjohns.edu
----------------------------------------
The BALINT list has moved to a new server.
The BALINT mailing list is a discussions on doctor-patient
relationships which adopts Michael Balint's approach to assess
the patient's condition in order to integrate the various
interactions extant between the patient, his illness, his family,
his doctor, the hospital, the doctor's office and the society at
large, mainly by means of Balint groups.
Balint groups are mainly formed by a small number of doctors
interested in improving their relationships with their patients
and coordinated by a specially trained psychiatrist. They have as
their aim to reveal feelings, unwittingly harboured by the doctor
towards his patient, usually engendered by purely subjective
motives, which interfere with the doctor's approach to his
patient; thus jeopardizing not only psychological aspects of the
patient but also blurring or blinding the doctor's mind with
regard to right diagnostic procedures and further treatment.
Therefore, Balint list welcomes contributions from medical
doctors, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, social
workers, as well as the various auxiliary professionals with a
commitment to humanize present-day hi-tech medicine; either from a
purely academic viewpoint or as a means radically to modify
current patterns of human relationships within the definite field
of medical practice.

in English development; both language groups
performing academically at their grade level,
developing positive attitudes toward the two

--------------------------------------
Human Relations, Authority and Justice: Experiences and Critiques
This 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.
While attempting to be relevant to all contexts, it is
particularly focussed on the newly-emerging democracies
in Eastern Europe. The forum is related to an electronic
journal of the same name based at
http://www.shef.ac.uk/~psysc/hraj/home.html
(NB: This URL is different from the original one
and it is case sensitive.)
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 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, summarized 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 in, e.g., America,
Israel, Germany, Australia, India. Other approaches,
both psychoanalytic and systemic, are also drawn
upon, in particular, on the normal role of psychotic
anxieties in contributing to problems in groups and
institutions. Group relations events were held in
Sofia in 1992, 1996, and 1997, and there was a
founding conference of the project in 1995.
The issues addressed by the forum and journal are
central to the project of building democratic
institutions in newly-democratizing countries in
Eastern Europe, but they are obviously also relevant
to any setting where trust and co-operation are
under threat. As a result of this work, the Bulgarian
Institute of Human Relations has been established.
Its co-directors are Professor Toma Tomov, Dep. of
Psychiatry, Medical University of Sofia
(ttomov@sun.medun.acad.bg) and Professor Robert
M. Young, Centre for Psychotherapeutic Studies,
University of Sheffield (r.m.young@sheffield.ac.uk)

PAIN-L on listserv@maelstrom.stjohns.edu
----------------------------------------
The PAIN-L forum is now unmoderated.
This is an EDUCATIONAL FORUM. This IS NOT a chat-line
like other lists, this is an informational-line,
a party-line for the sharing of informed decisions
and providing expert medical opinion for doctors,
patients, and anyone else interested in chronic pain.
The PAIN forum is now unmoderated. However, it is
facilitated. But, postings now go directly to the
forum. If posting policy is breached, subscribers are
informed and if violations of the specific goals are
further violated, subscribers are deleted and filtered
from the forum. PAIN was formerly moderated and there
were delays in posting. NOW, posting is immediate.
Important: There is NO QUOTING, except to preface your
remarks [limited to 2 or 3 lines only]. All others will
be deleted...
DISCLAIMER: While the information provided in the PAIN
Forum may be considered by many here to be the best
medical opinion, it is by no means the only definitive
opinion and everyone is encouraged to seek additional
opinions and advice from other health care providers.
Please use the information found in the Pain Forum as a
useful guide but not the last word. Noone in the PAIN
Forum or at SJU can be held liable for anything you
read in the PAIN Forum and reliance on any information
found in the Pain Forum is at YOUR OWN RISK.
The subject is *CHRONIC PAIN*, including health &
healing, and politics dealing with pain policy, etc.
This is an educational forum for doctors, other
health care providers, patients, and anyone
concerned with the objectives as stipulated:
The Primary FOCUS of PAIN-L is always
CHRONIC "physical" PAIN and discussion
includes the following range of topics
and objectives.
OBJECTIVES:
Discussion of..........
[1] Strategies for healing, remissions, coping.
[2] Medical methodology for healing.
[3] Philosophical approach to pain, health & healing.
[4] *POLITICS* for dispatching health services and care.
[5] That which causes unnecessary physical pain & suffering.
[6] Discussion of public health issues
POLICY:
The highest objective of this forum should always
be to provide scientific truth.
We're here to learn. When providing technical
information or facts, provide your "resources"
whenever available. Emotional speculation is not
encouraged, because it is counterproductive without facts.
This is a conference about LIFE, _NOT_ death. Death is
NEVER encouraged, it is too precious. Living is ALWAYS
encouraged and every effort should be explored to minimize
physical pain in order to preserve a tolerable and
worthwhile quality of life.

relationships on relationships-subscribe@joshua.rivertown.net
-------------------------------------------------------------
THE RELATIONSHIPS LIST has changed hosts and e-mail software.
It resides on the host named above using ezmlm, EZ-Mailing List Manager.
The Relationships List has been created with the goal of
sharing and exploring the problems and pleasures of the
day-to-day (as well as long-term) issues that confront
all of us who are in "bonded" emotional partnerships.
For the purposes of this list, a "relationship" is defined
as a "pairing" of two individuals in a life situation that
entails significant commitment to each other. It might be
beneficial for both members of the relationship to join
and participate on this list. However, individual members,
as well as recently "singled" people are also welcome
on this list to enable them to have a place to discuss
the circumstances of their "singling", and the impact
on the list member.
The partnership need not confine to any arbitrary societal
norm. The list is open to both heterosexual and
homosexual relationships. Heterosexual relationships
are not restricted to married couples. Emphasis on
significant commitment is the determining factor one
should use when considering joining the Relationships
list.
To subscribe, send an email to:

Second wives/significant others of men who have been
married before face many challenges that are unique

A new quarterly journal, "Children's Services: Social
Policy, Research, and Practice," is slated to begin
publication in 1998. Manuscripts may be submitted
for editorial review.
This journal will be a publication of review articles on
issues of policy and services for children and
families. "Children's Services" will provide a forum
for discussions on service delivery, child advocacy,
and social/legal policy issues. This journal will
foster an integration of child and family development
research, clinical intervention research and evaluation,
the design, implementation, and evaluation of service delivery
systems, and information on the political process for
improving quality and accessibility of child and family
services.
All articles will be peer reviewed and selected for their
scholarly merit and contribution to research and policy.
Although manuscripts should build from an empirical base,
the journal generally will not publish original research
articles.
"Children's Services: Social Policy, Research, and
Practice" is sponsored by the APA Division of Child,
Youth, and Family Services (and will be published by
