Subject:      [Professional Societies]

Hello all,
	Being a 1st year graddie, it is prime time (if not a little late),
to look into appropriate professional societies.  Perhaps it might not be
a bad idea to have those of you out there who are in an organization respond
with which ones you're in, membership dues, specific perks of joining
(journals, and so forth), maybe even how to join.
	Perhaps this information could be archived for easy access by
others...
	Please be as specific as you can (if APA, what Division and what
IS that division [besides a #]).

Thanks a lot!

Dear Don,


         I believe I have seen a program written in BASIC. We  tried it
         out and it worked. I am not a programmer so I dont know if that
         would have been the original or not. It could probabaly be done
         more concisely in PASCAL or something. It also wasnt very good
         (only gave pre-canned responses and the like). It would be
         interesting to see a more complex program that could mimic
         therapeutic sessions.

  ERIC,

  APA has student memberships  $25 US
  CPA has student membership   $50 CDN
  AABT has student memberships $15 US   $30 US (if outside US)


* APA is good to join if you are a student in the United States, and also
      if you are elsewhere. It provides you with APA MONITOR and
      AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST with subscription fee. It also facilitates
      buying books or other APA journals at reduced rates and allows
      you to go to the annual convention for reduced rate and travel grants
      are available for presenting students.

* CPA is excellent to join especially if you are a studnent in Canada.
      It provides you with  TWO out of the  THREE Canadian journals with
      your subscription fee: CANADIAN PSYCHOLOGY
                             CANADIAN JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE
       (you  get to pick)    JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY

      Reduced rates for convention and some travel grants if you are
      presenting.

 * N.B. Both these associations have specific interest sections you can join.
        I think APA has about 45 and CPA has about 22.


   AABT= American Association for the Advancement of Behavior Therapy

         This one is dedicated to Behavioral Therapy (theoretical and
         applied). It also has different sections. You receive the
         BEHAVIOR THERAPIST monthly, also can get their journals  at
         reduced rate. It is a more tight knit organization dedicated
         to a specific branch and has a smaller membership than the  major
         associations.


       Of course there are hundreds more...smaller  associations at the state
       and provincial level and also dedicated to different perspectives and
       therapeutic approaches.

                                             Hope this helps...
                                             I can  probabaly provide more
                                             info as I am sure many of you
                                             out there can.

Because this is the time of year for subscribing to new lists and learning
about listserv lists, I am going to post another request that you all
post announcements of PSYCGRAD to your peers.  Those of you who have
already pitched in an spread the good word, thank you.  Thank you in

 Hi everybody,
This is my first communication to all of you and is about ELIZA. I do have
a Basic program which runs on an Acorn BBC computer. This is a standard
computer used in a lot of schools here in the UK. This program not only
display the statements on the screen but it speeks them out through the
computer's speaker. It is a very basic but for those who have never used
or seen ELIZA's program is much more fun to play with. Unfortunatly it only
runs on the Acorn system. There is also various Basic books with the ELIZA
program. If any of you wants to know more send me an E_Mail.
Also does anybody out there is working in imagery and human motor activity?
I will be very interested in hearing from any of you.
Bye all.

    Hi,
    I may have been spacing out, but I don't remember reading
anything here about well-publicized case about the Boston
psychiatrist that was doing regression therapy -and possibly much
more- on a young patient who eventually committed suicide.
    Aside from the thoughts people may have about this case, and the
repercussions this may have for therapy and therapists, I'd be
interested in finding out something about this "regression therapy".
Is it a legitimate technique? What is it about?  I can't believe
I'm the only one puzzled by this!
    Thanks.

My name is Christi Nations.  I currently work with Dr. Jeff Simpson

relationship maintenance.  I am examining the relationship of trust and
closeness (rempel & holmes, berscheid et al.) to derogation and maybe
bolstering of partners and others when a threat (CL alt) is introduced.
I could really use some suggestions of interesting ongoing research in
this area to supplement my own, of course.  If you know of any recent
developments in this area or are working in it yourself, I would really
like to hear from you.  I have related interests in the area of
adult attachment styles and relationships etc.  By the way, if there are
any U 0f WA students (seattle) how is it up there?  I am very homesick
for the great pacific northwest.  If there are any U of GA people
(athens) please tell Bridget Boyle in the applied psych program how to
get on the e-mail system and hello from me and  others at A&M. Thanks!

Subject:      BIG SCIENCE

I don't know if it's possible to wholly separate the politics of
academic science from science as it's practiced today.  The worth of
certain avenues of inquiry is socially defined, isn't it?  I like to
think we're striving for something like objective facts, but there are
social constraints on what gets funded, published, etc.  I suppose one
could be a maverick, but one's resources would be seriously constrained.
Presumably, if one's really brilliant, people will eventually notice.
Peer criticism probably isn't such a bad thing, in science as in life.

Hi, All:

   Just a friendly nag (reminder) that I am compiling information for
APS attendees.  I have had some responses which I will list so that you
can make sure that your info got here: Julia Pounds, Miri Goldstein,
Stephanie Fishkin, Stephen Jarrard, and Michael Wenger.

   Although APS is a couple of months away, in the interest of making
connections and locating possible roommates, I would love to get your
information early.  I plan to compile all the info into one file and
then post in back to the list on Sunday, April 19th.  If you are un-
able to provide all info now (eg don't know exactly when arriving),
please provide what you can, and we will fill in the missing info as
it is available with occasional updates.

     If this works well, I am willing to continue with it for APA.
I do have information from some of you about APA, which I promise not
to jettison.

     I KNOW that all of you save my wonderful letters (humor arr arr),
but in case the computer gremlin dumped the info request one, here is
what I would like you to send me directly at pcylhp@utahusi or
psyllh@freud.sbs.utah.edu

     Name:
     E-mail address:
     Dates attending:
     Looking for roommates?
     If yes, smoker/nonsmoker
     If yes, how many?
     Presenting?  If yes, when?  (We can all support each other)
     Interested in a Psycgrad get-together?

Here you define new knowledge as some breakthrough at looking or understanding
things.  And then you go on to talk about "science as practice today."
I would propose that what you are really describing, when you write of the
problems with publications, funding, public speaking, and conceptual
popularity, could better be called "the politics of acedemic science."

I propose that the politics of the academic world is an entirely different
issue than science as it is practiced today (regarding the evolution of
science as a philosophy).

Note:
This really scares me.  Do you hear what you are saying?)

In that case, I claim that your position is beyond evidence, unscientific,
and locked into place because of your beliefs.  Even in the face of evidence
(you acknowleged that the condition was much improved) you still hang on to
the belief that the technique was illegitimate.  This is nothing more than
dogmatic.

If you refuse the technique of exorcism simple because it is "exorcism"
and therefore must be illigitimate, then you also have to drop any
investigation in faith healing.  If you drop investigation in faith
healing and exorcism, then you place yourself in the position which
refuses to investigate the placebo effect.  Look into the literature
which acknowleges the effects that a strong belief has on the body.
I recommend starting with E. L. Rossi _The Psychobiology of Mind-Body
Healing:_ & E. L. Rossi & D. Cheek's _Mind-Body Therapy_.

Have fun.  :)
