InterPsych is a non-profit making, voluntary organization,
established on the Internet with the aim of promoting
international scholarly collaboration on inter-disciplinary
research and intervention efforts in the field of
psychopathology. The organization offers a variety of scholarly
electronic conferences via e-mail, and real time conferences.
Plans are underway for an electronically distributed journal.
InterPsych has over 7000 members throughout the world, including
many leading academics, research scientists, clinical
practitioners, and students. Our membership is drawn from
disciplines as diverse as anthropology, computer science,
neuroscience, pharmacology, philosophy, psychiatry, psychology,
and sociology.
InterPsych has two main aims:
1. To foster interdisciplinary debate and empirical collaboration
on all aspects of psychopathology. We believe that an
eclectic approach will produce refinements in the theory and
practice of psychiatry and clinical psychology.
2. To encourage and promote the use of the vast resources of the
Internet by both academics and clinical practitioners. The
Internet offers the possibility of rapid dissemination of
research findings, and ease in conducting discussions over
disciplinary and geographic boundaries.
To fulfill these aims INTERPSYCH has set up the following electronic
resources for its members:
1. THE INTERPSYCH NEWSLETTER
2. SCHOLARLY E-MAIL CONFERENCES
3. REAL-TIME (SYNCHRONOUS) CONFERENCES
Each of these is described in detail below:
=========================
The Interpsych Newsletter
=========================
The InterPsych Newsletter is a monthly publication distributed free
of charge to all InterPsych members. The newsletter's mission mirrors
that of the organization, fulfilling these goals by providing concise
and timely information relevant to InterPsych members. The newsletter
contains articles on current events in mental health, updates from the
organization and from the electronic conferences, new mental health
resources on the Internet, as well as listings of physical and
electronic conferences and employment opportunities from around the
world. You will receive this publication automatically when you join
any of InterPsych's scholarly electronic conferences.
For further information contact the Editor-in-Chief, Sean Sullivan
<ssulliva@opal.tufts.edu>
=============================================
InterPsych's Scholarly Electronic Conferences
=============================================
The motto of InterPsych is 'There is someone wiser than
any of us, and that is all of us.' InterPsych's electronic
conferences exist to provide a forum for scholarly and clinical
discussion of all aspects of psychopathology. Individuals doing
research, scholarship, or clinical work (or those who have an
interest) in the areas described below are invited to join these
e-mail conferences. Our hope is that these forums will be
entertaining and informative, and perhaps will be a breeding
ground for conceptual and theoretical innovation. When you elect
to join any of InterPsych's conferences, you will be sent an
introduction which elaborates further on the purposes of the
conference, lists files in the conference archives, and gives
instructions for participating in a conference.
To join a conference, send the following message (without a
subject heading) --
join conference-name your-first-name your-last-name
to the Internet address --
mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk
-----------------------
If your mailer automatically issues a signature block at the end
of your message, the above command should be followed by the
command --
