they're of some use.

just a plain vanilla three-layer network which trains itself using

sigmoid transfer functions to enable the network to handle non-linear

It seems there have been a number of questions recently about whether
certain messages are appropriate or not.  While I agree that there have
been some messages that were not directly about psychology, there are some
I am very glad to find out about, and would not know about any other way.
The recent posting about state legislature is one.  I personally think that
it's important for all citizens to know what is going on in Congress, but
especially for clinicians, when legislature may affect clients.  It's also
important for researchers, as it may affect grants.  I personally did not
find this message of no relevance, and I was very glad to read it.

Some generic postings about other boards, however, I agree perhaps do not
belong here.

This message doesn't seem terribly coherent, I'm afraid.  I've been studying
for comps....

Subject:      Graduate students

27 July 1992

Dear graduate student,

I am doing a study of graduate and professional training and
am looking for some "horror stories" to illustrate the kind
of unfair treatment that students sometimes experience in
university departments.

Do you know of a student who...

...has been treated arbitrarily or unfairly on the PhD
qualifying examination?

...has been forced out of graduate or professional school?

...has suffered stress-related illness (physical or mental
breakdown)?

Students who have had any of these experiences would often
like to tell their stories, but they rarely encounter
knowledgeable listeners who are sympathetic.  I'd like to
talk to individuals who suspect they may not have been
treated fairly, but I have no way of finding them.  Can you
give me a lead?

Subject:      APA and PSYCGRAD

Prompted by an idea from Loree Harpster, I am looking for
volunteers to act as PSYCGRAD representatives at the upcoming
APA Convention in Washington DC.  The job would require you
to print out a short flyer about PSYCGRAD and hand them out
to other graduate students at the conference.  I don't mean
stand in the halls and hand them to everyone.  I mean, have
several copies of a flyer at hand so that when you want to
tell a fellow graduate student about PSYCGRAD, you could just
hand them the information.  Please send me a line if you would
be able to print out a file that I send to you and keep it on
hand as a flyer.

Also, I am looking for someone who could make an announcement at
the APAGS (APA Graduate Students) meeting if there is one.  This
person would have to get in touch with the chairperson of the
meeting, request permission to make an announcement about
PSYCGRAD, and then make the announcement at the meeting of the
APAGS.  Please contact me if you are the person for this job.

Thank you.

    I just received a message with a single question:
            <what is Endnote?
    Yikes! In a nutshell, it is a software program that allows you to create
a large reference list, including an abstract (like Medline, Psyclit, etc.).
It also formats your references to the journal style that you want (APA, vg).
    You can locate articles in your Endnote index by title, author, or key
word (again, like Medline, Psyclit, etc).  The additional software -Endlink-
lets you retrieve the references that you want directly from the source (say
Medline) and into your own Endnote index.
    If you want more info, I suggest that you get the psycgrad files on
Endnote -there's some information about it there, or check your local
computer store.

Hiya, David.

About the Child Abuse stuff, I have some general suggestions for anyone
interested in the area (I'll direct E-mail the particulars to you).

In terms of state-of-the-art research, one of the best guys (err... people)
is Dante Cicchetti.  Check out any major book store for his latest stuff
(he's prolific as heck!).  The buzzword to look for is "Developmental
Psychopathology."

As for theory, Thomas Achenback has done some excellent reviews in depression,
emotional disorders, and treatment for at-risk kids.

Finally, for policy stuff, I would check the journal, CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
They do a yearly "state of union of kids" type of thing that's really good.
I think it's called the "Social Policy Update."  They can be reached
via :
   Barbara  Kahn
   Society for Research in Child Development
   57w320 South Woodlawn Ave.
   (sorry, should have been: 5720 S. Woodlawn Ave.)
   Chicago, IL 60637

for more general-audience policy info, the Children's Defense Fund is an
excellent resource.  They are at : (202) 628-8787.

I'll send you the references privately.

Hope that helps.

A while ago there was a brief discussion on this group concerning the
status and political aspects of three proposed diagnoses for DSM-III
(or III-R) that were widely viewed as essentially attacks on women.

An interesting commentary on this process is given in Susan Faludi's
_Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women_, 1991, New York:
Crown Publishers. She also discussed several well known pop psychologists
and the effects of their "work" on women. Must reading for anyone who
thinks that this stuff is all objective and involves little or no
politics. I also recommend the book generally for anyone interested in
human social affairs.

Have you ever had the opportunity to ask someone to increase their
hardiness, self-efficacy, self-complexity, or mellowness?

I prefer to monitor something that is more tangible and easily monitored
from moment to moment, like heart rate, skin conductance level,
heart rate, finger skin temperature.  To me these are much more useful
while monitoring a person's reaction to various stimuli.  I see them
as being much more meaningfully related to what is typically called
stress.  Also, these are things that people can learn to regulate.
Whereas, the personality traits or states mentioned above are only
obtained by complex analysis of answers to questionnaires, and over
all, much more difficult for the client to monitor and regulate on
a moment to moment basis.

For references, see the Journal of Biofeedback and Self Regulation.

     Taking my position as Social Coordinator very seriously, I am again
reminding any and all of you who plan on attending APA and wish to make the

without a central point of communication. That is the purpose of my mailing
list.  The next mailing will go out on Monday (happy birthday to me, and I
ain't telling how old!), and will contain a listing of social hours,
receptions, etc. with a request for feedback from the group about where they
might like to meet.

     Please provide name, e-mail address, dates attending, where staying
(including phone number if known) and what day would be best for a meeting,
directly to either of my e-mail addresses below.

On VMS the command is "reply/extract" without the quotes.  It depends on the
kind of system your running, though.  Ask your local guru.  Reply/extract just
loads a copy of the current message into the editor and I cut out the part I
don't want.  The brackets ( > ) are convention from Usenet.  Lots of mail
readers will automatically strip the headers, insert "So and so writes...." and
add the brackets.  Mine doesn't.

These are two very different things, I prefer the latter.

Correct.  Both our positions are of faith.  Just as there is no way of
*knowing* that everything *knowable*, there is no way of *knowing* that
everything is not *knowable*.

Ditto.
