The following are not in any particular order. There is a huge
amount of "psych" info. out there on the WWW but the
problem is finding sensible ways to find it (I know that's not
a new idea to those of you who are familiar to the Web). I haven't
found the searchers such as LYCOS all that helpful as they're
too inclusive in general. "Surfing" seems a better bet
but the problem is that you can easily find yourself surfing round
in large circles finding lots of lists of pointers to other resources
without any commentary (hence my attempts to put some commentary
in here!) and often giving the impression that there's a great
deal out there but all you find you're getting are circular pointers.
The situation is changing fast though. This list was first compiled
on 6.v.95 and will be updated regularly but that updating won't
involve me revisiting all the sites on here as it's just too time
consuming. If people have advice, updates or want to tell me about
their own or their favourite resources the PLEASE do that: Email

- EINET Psychology (Social Sciences)
[http://galaxy.einet.net/galaxy/Social-Sciences/Psychology.html
]
I am not clear who EINET are but this is a very professional seeming
collection of pointers to other psychology sites. Looks very useful
but a bit daunting. I haven't explored it much yet.
- Personal Construct Psychology
[http://ksi.cpsc.ucalgary.ca:80/PCP/]
Superb site devoted to the above and managed by Brian Gaines and
Mildred Shaw. Has opportunity for live WWW elicitation and mathematical
processing of any repertory grid of your choice, (but I couldn't
get his to work with Netscape 1.2b4 as of 21.ix.95) pointers to
lots of other resources, and a lot of drafts/abstracts etc. of
the publications from their dept. mostly on the artificial intelligence,
expert systems, human-computer interface side of PCP rather than
the psychotherapeutic but there is a lot for PCP therapists here
too.
- search results for Psychiatry
[http://galaxy.einet.net/galaxy/Medicine/Medical-Specialties/Psychiatry/search-results.html#GOPHER
]
Results of EINET GOPHER search for psychiatry. A huge number of
pointers to other info. of variable utility but very comprehensive.
Can do your own more sensible searches from here.
- Personal Construct Psychology Research Group
[http://brain.psyc.uow.edu.au/pcp/]
Excellent PCP site at the University of Wollongong in Australia
managed by Peter Caputi. Much less ambitious then the Calgary:Gaines/Shaw
site but more psychotherapeutic and narrative/constructivist than
the latter. Has information for getting hold of Richard Bell's
excellent (and very cheap) BASIC suite of programs for analysing
repertory grids (G-PACK). Get it if you're interested in grids!
- Links to Other Psychology Departments
[http://www.hanover.edu/psych/Krantz/other.html ]
Very comprehensive list of pointers to other psychology, and psychology
related, sites. As you'd expect, there's a strong bias to the
cognitive/AI/computer-related psychology but there is much else
as well. Managed by John Krantz from the University of Hanover
(which I assume means a University of Hanover in the States since
the address doesn't look like a German one).
- Psychology Departments in Britain and Ireland
[http://www.psych.bangor.ac.uk/deptpsych/B&IPsychDepts/B&IPsychDepts.html
]
A bit like the University of Hanover list of pointers to psychology
sites but rather easier to browse sensibly if you're British.
Managed by B.T. Maguire at the University of Bangor. Easy to get
from this to Bangor's own info. on their department.
- Cognitive & Psychological Sciences
[http://matia.stanford.edu/cogsci.html]
Another very extensive list of pointers to other psychology departments,
this time managed from Stamford.
- University of Edinburgh / Centre for Cognitive Science
[http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/ccs/home.html]
I don't suppose that needs much more definition!
- Jason Aronson Publishers
[http://www.flightpath.com/Clients/Aronson/]
Not responding fast some days. I think they had a lot of info.
about their psychotherapy titles.
- Psychotherapy interviews
[http://www.flightpath.com/Clients/Aronson/Int/psychints.html]
Jason Aronson again. Contains short interviews
with people like Horst Käechele and other psychotherapists
who have written books published by Jason Aronson.

Self-explanatory. Rather bureaucratic feel but lots of info. on
them.

c.f. A.P.A., self-explanatory, info. on the
society.

- The BookWire Publishers Index
[http://www.bookwire.com/links/publishers/publishers.html]
Huge list of publishers on WWW in alphabetical order only. Vast
amount of info. but incredibly silly way to use WWW. Desperately
needs a search facility.
- FreudNet: The A.A. Brill Library
[http://www.interport.com:80/nypsan/]
Exactly what it says but nothing much there to get at as yet,
mostly info. about their service which might be useful if you
lived on the doorstep but not otherwise. Looks as if they intend
to go far beyond this though so might be worth visiting from time
to time.
- American Psychoanalytic Association
[http://apsa.org/]
Very good if you wanted to locate one of their associates or members.
Has info. about the contents of their Journal and a good "About
Psychoanalysis" piece for interested lay readers and list
of their publications including what looks to be an unbelievably
good value bibliography of the psychoanalytic literature from
1920-1990.
- Networked Resources in Psychology and Mental Health
[http://www.interport.com:80/nypsan/network.html]
From the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and Society though
I wouldn't have realised it from glancing at their pointers to
other things. Doesn't seem to have anything of its own though.
- UCSD list of Academic psychology departments
Organised alphabetically, no info. on each but very extensive.
- American organisation of "Administrators in Academic Psychiatry"
"ADMINISTRATORS IN ACADEMIC PSYCHIATRY is a professional
organization founded in 1985 to provide education and networking
opportunities for administrators of psychiatric programs in academic
settings. AAP sponsors a Fall meeting as well as an annual Educational
Conference in conjunction with the Medical Group Management Association's
Academic Practice Assembly Educational Conference. Members also
receive a quarterly newsletter, The AAP Grapevine." Says
it all really!
- American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Provides info. on their organisation, journal, clinical work and
research.
- Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis & Journal of Experimental Analysis of Behavior
Information on both journals quite nicely presented including
info. on ordering back copies etc.
- Electronic Journal of Behavior Analysis and TherapyWithin
the next several months a new type of electronic journal will
be appearing at this Web site! It is called the electronic <i>Journal
of Behavior Analysis and Therapy (jBAT)</i> and will be
a peer-reviewed journal of basic behavior analysis, ap plied behavior
analysis and behavior theory and therapy. The journal will have
full graphical capabilities as well. Seems to be down to one
Joseph J. Plaud at the University of North Dakota
- Behavioral & Brain Sciences Journal
Edited by Stevan Harnad, published by C.U.P. as one of the publications
that pioneered open peer review/commentary. Has papers and all
the information on how you apply to become one of the peer reviewers
for a paper. Also the home of Harnad's Ejournal "Psycholoqy"
and has archived copies of a lot of his "skywriting".
- Canadian Psychological Association
Lovely simple graphics but very much under development. Has full
text of articles from their newsletter and quite a lot of other
information of value. Will have their entire newsletter on line
in due course and has a lot of info. already. For those of us
who don't routinely download graphics: (a) switch on the first
page for a really small simple graphic (b) the left hand button
at the bottom is English, the right hand button is French if you
don't want to switch your graphic downloading on!
- Forensic Psychiatry Resources
-- Put together by James Hoper of Univ. of Alabama and the Alabama
Dept. of Mental Health. Psychiatric rather than psychotherapy
but it's an area that needs all the coverage it can get.
- Society for Computers in Psychology
[http://www.lafayette.edu/allanr/scip.html]
The Society for Computers in Psychology is a non-profit
organization of researchers interested in applications of computers
in psychology. Its primary purpose is to "increase and diffuse
knowledge of the use of computers in psychological research."
Over the past several years the organization has set a special
goal of aiding psychologists in using microcomputers in their
teaching and research. We have also encouraged consideration of
the psychological aspects of hardware and software development
and design. Membership is open to any person who has an academic
degree and who is active in scientific applications of computers
to psychological research.
- Journal of Cognitive Rehabilitation
[http://www.inetdirect.net/nsp/]
The Journal of Cognitive Rehabilitation (JCR) launched its
first issue at a world wide conference on brain injury rehabilitation
in February 1983. When we started working on that first issue
in the fall of 1982 it was intended to be a small newsletter addressing
the interest of a small group of professionals who were in the
beginning stages of organizing themselves for the advancement
of new and better methods for brain injury rehabilitation. By
the time we were ready to go to press, what we had actually put
together was more of a specialized magazine containing general
interest articles, personal experience articles, research reports
and something totally new to the rehab scene at that time, computerized
therapy exercises. The software was in the form of fully listed
computer programs that the therapist or patient could type into
their systems. The programs provided therapy exercises to help
restore visual perception, eye/hand coordination, attentional
skills, memory skills, etc.. JCR was an immediate success and
within a few months we had articles coming in from all over the
world. The journal has been truly multidisciplinary as our authors
represent professionals from nearly every clinical rehabilitation
field as well as family members and the injured person. Check
out our Monthly Featured Past Article section for access to the
bests of our past publications.

Other stuff
NetMind Free WWW site watching
service. Register a page and your Email address and it will Email
you when that page changes. You can get hold of shareware and
probably PD software to do the same though I think these people
claim that is more likely to inform you of trivial changes.
Statistical and data analysis software
Kovach Computing Services. Has some shareware statistical software
and a useful looking list of pointers to other statistics related
sites.

Very useful list of info. and pointers to other sites.
