chronic_pain via http://www.ONElist.com/subscribe.cgi/chronic_pain
------------------------------------------------------------------
chronic_pain - a fully moderated peer support list
Chronic_Pain is a support resource for adults with problems
resulting in chronic physical pain and an empahsis on helping
to cope and 'have a life.' This is a peer-group list open to
anyone with chronic pain and closed to *all* others.
Commercial exploiters will be drawn & quartered.
The new 'Chronic Pain' list will be moderated to the greatest
extent possible, but sometimes not fully moderated. This is
being done because another active & valuable forum has shifted
focus to broader political & other healthcare issues, and the
need for peer support remains.
The moderator, who would like co-moderators to step up to
the plate too, hopes to establish a self-sustaining forum
for the support needed by others & himself.
The moderator & list-owner is Kenneth Turbin, who has
faced chronic pain for a very long time & is a healthcare
pofessional as well. It is important to understand that this
is not a place for professional help, but for human understanding.
As there are a large number of individuals orphaned with this
condition by the treatment establishment, should the list volume
exceed manageability, sub-lists (sub-groups) will be formed for
more personal interchange, & a more general parallel list will
be made available to everyone as well.

DIVORCING on DIVORCING-subscribe@associate.com
----------------------------------------------
Going through a divorce or been through one?
Welcome to Divorce Anonymous. If you are going through a
divorce or have been through one, you are invited to
put your thoughts and feelings down in writing -- in
the safety of virtual anonymity. Virtual has become a
kind of computer term. Virtual reality; and that's the
way life feels when a person goes through a divorce.
Life becomes unreal. It's as if you are outside your
body watching someone else. It's a lonely path. Your
friends don't want to talk about it, your best friends
likely just say what you want to hear, and your church
may offer nothing but platitudes about the way a
marriage ought to be.
Well... Welcome to the real world. Divorce is a reality;
and all the pain and loss that goes with it. Therapists
will sometimes tell you to keep a journal as one of
several methods to help recover from the trauma and
grieving of divorce. It is hoped that Divorce Anonymous
can serve as a similar outlet and, perhaps, provide additional
encouragement to help you on the road to recovery. We
only ask that you respect the feelings of others, keep
in clean, and "what you see here, let it stay here."

ETNOEDU on LISTSERV@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES
---------------------------------------
Investigacion Etnografica en educacion
Preferred language: Spanish
The ethnographic research has meant a great reaction
within the scientific field of the Social Sciences.
But, once overcome the first moments of false confrontation
in opposition to other research methods, we have reached
a stagnation point: There is an imprecision in terms of
terminology, concepts, scientific foundations, theory and
methodology which generates, in too many occasions, a
kind of knowledge lacking contents.
The main aim of ETNOEDU is to guide the discussion of the
scientific community interested in establishing some
minimal procedural guidelines which ensure the necessary
rigorousness for the application of this scientific method
and organize a database about ethnographic research within
the field of the Social Sciences and, in particular, referred to
the school and educational fields.

=======================================
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and CJD Voice
---------------------------------------
Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a horrendous fatal
brain-deteriorating disease for which there is no treatment
or cure. Often the victim first presents with psychological
symptoms. Also, some people, such as those who received
human pituitary growth hormone which puts them at higher risk of
getting CJD, have to live with that hanging over their heads.
People in either of these groups and their families may find
themselves in a therapist's office. Often CJD victims die
at home and require home care.
CJD is more common than reported. In one study of Alzheimer
patients 13% when autopsied were found to really have CJD.
Also, it is infectious and can be spread by surgical instruments
since normal sterilization does not kill the infectious agent.
Whether it is spread by blood is controversial. However, many
vaccines, such as measles-mumps-rubella and allergy shots, and
in vitro fertilization cultures have blood products.
CJD Voice is an international e-mail discussion group.
Most members have lost a loved one to CJD or currently have
a loved one with CJD. Other members are people who have
taken pitutiary growth hormones which puts them at highter
risk of getting CJD. It provides support to these people.
CJD Voice also provides education about CJD and works to
increase research funding for CJD so treatments and a cure
can be found. The CJD webpage has a message board, chat
room, links to other websites with CJD information and a
list of CJD researchers accepting donations.
The address for our webpage is

Over the past years I have been working on an effort to
interpret the psychological processes of persons at the
interface of two cultures. I have used a personal construct
psychology analysis of those persons whom other writers have
discussed as "marginal persons."
I believe that a useful interpretation of persons at the
interface of two cultures must become more productive than those
which have been offered in the past, and I believe that personal
construct psychology -- which is compatible with modern
constructivist cognitive psychology -- offers a sound approach
to producing a more fruitful analysis.
I have used Italian-Americans as the model case, since I
have built up a knowledge base on Italian-American history.
Further, it does make a very good case. The offspring of
Italian immigrants have done very well in The USA, despite the
general illiteracy and poverty of their forebears.
I have decided that I would not attempt to seek out
publishers, etc. I am too advanced in years to spend my time on
that process, particularly since I have little confidence that
reviewers will resonate with personal construct psychology
approaches. Also, of course, I am not sure that a reader, no
matter his orientation, would find my analysis to be cogent and
useful.
Therefore, I decided to publish my material to the
internet.
The addresses of the two papers I have so far published to
the web are:
(1) http://www.capital.net/~mancusoj/suzzpell.html and
(2) http://www.capital.net/~mancusoj/torgrevu.html
I will appreciate any comments or reactions which anyone,
particularly professional colleagues, can offer.

Online Psychology Article Listing (OPAL)
----------------------------------------
Hello,
I am writing to announce a new internet resource for the
psychology community. I've seen your web site of
psychology links and I hope you will include this
new resource in your list.
http://psych-www.colorado.edu:591/opal/
OPAL (Online Psychology Article Listing) is a searchable
index of full-text online articles related to psychology.
OPAL is a free resource that seeks to increase the
dissemination and utilization of online research in
psychology. It is not a hosting service, but simply
a searchable database of abstracts and reference
information that provides links to the original article.
OPAL is different from existing resources in several ways:
* OPAL is searchable (by abstract, title, author, or year)
* OPAL only includes articles whose full text is available online
* OPAL only contains scholarly (empirical or review) articles
OPAL is in its early stages and at this time contains
about 100 articles. With participation from journals and
individuals that make articles available online, the database
will continue to grow.
I look forward to any feedback or suggestions about OPAL.
Thanks,
Mike Brezsnyak
Social Psychology Network
-------------------------
(http://www.wesleyan.edu/spn/)
Social Psychology Network now has a customized search
engine that will permit full-text searching of:
--Web pages from all 3,500 links listed in the network
--PhD Programs in Social Psychology (e.g., by keyword)
--More than 400 social psychologist home pages
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM RANKINGS
(http://www.wesleyan.edu/spn/clinrank.htm)
This page contains a list of U.S. and Canadian clinical psychology
programs rank-ordered by how well their graduates performed on the
Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology between
1988 and 1995 (adapted from an article in the APS Observer).
JOB MARKET BY AREA OF PSYCHOLOGY
(http://www.wesleyan.edu/spn/market.htm)
The Online Psychology Career Center has added several new links,
including a page showing the relative size of the job market
within subdisciplines of experimental psychology (something students
often wonder about). The data on this page are based on job
advertisements appearing in the APS Observer Employment Bulletin
between 1991-1996 (adapted from an article in the APS Observer).
Social Psychology Network (SPN) currently receives an average
of 1,450 page accesses each day and recently passed a cumulative
total of 1/2 million page accesses. Please consider adding a
link to the new resources above or to any other SPN pages that
might interest your visitors, and please feel free to suggest
pages of your own that you would like to see featured in Social
Psychology Network. I am hoping to expand SPN significantly over
the summer and would welcome your input.
Thanks very much for your consideration!

as easier navigation from sub-pages. There are also
many added links since the February update.
The Trauma Information Pages site concentrates on
emotional trauma, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) and disaster mental health response, whether
following individual traumatic experience(s) or a large
scale natural disaster.
The primary target audience is clinicians, researchers,
and students interested in traumatic-stress, but
information and supportive links are provided for trauma
survivors (and friends) as well. Much of the
comprehensive information at this site can easily be
translated into five foreign languages using
Alta Vista's translation service. This award-winning
site began on 19 April 1995 (one month after the
Oklahoma City bombing), and is updated monthly by
a licensed psychologist specializing in emotiona
trauma and related issues.
