"The Psychoanalytic Virtual Bulletin Board is a project of the Research Division of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis,
Charles Jaffe, M.D., Director
Robert M. Galatzer-Levy, M.D., SYSOP
The Psychoanalytic Virtual Bulletin Board is open only to psychoanalysts and candidates at psychoanalytic institutes. Please treat the material presented here with the descretion with which you would treat communications at workshops of professional meetings."
The virtual BBS has now moved to a majordomo at the American Psychoanalytic Association site. Enquiries about joining the Bulletin Board should be directed to Robert Galatzer-Levy owner-bbs@apsa.org
The traffic on the BBS seems to have fallen considerably since the transfer to the majordomo from the moderated, digested list operated virtually manually from Dr. Galatzer-Levy's Compuserve account. However, the transition only occurred around the beginning of January (1996) so it is early days to judge. The traffic has covered a wide variety of topics including exchanges of information about trainings, notices of conferences (U.S. and U.K. only I think so far) and theoretical thoughts on a number of topics.
I would very strongly recommend membership to anyone qualified to join as I think this should become the main closed psychoanalysis list. I'd like to feel it had a greater traffic from outside the U.S. but maybe that will come with time.
