Following this comment period, the Big-8 Management<br /> Board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup.<br /> <br /> NEWSGROUPS LINE:<br /> <br /> sci.psychology.psychotherapy.moderated Practice of psychotherapy. Moderated<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> Overview: Sci.psychology.psychotherapy.moderated (hereinafter &quot;sppm&quot;)<br /> exists as a forum for the discussion of psychotherapy. Anyone with an<br /> interest in such discussion is welcome. This would include practitioners<br /> of all types (psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage/family counselors,<br /> social workers, etc.), students of therapy, and therapy clientele.<br /> <br /> Appropriate and Inappropriate Posts: Some examples of topics<br /> appropriate for discussion in sppm include (but are not limited to) the<br /> following:<br /> <br /> * a particular type of psychotherapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral,<br /> psychodynamic), or a comparison between two types. There will be no<br /> restrictions on the types of therapeutic modalities that are appropriate<br /> for discussion -- save for treatments that seem to have no obvious<br /> connection to psychology (e.g., palm-reading, crystals). The latter will<br /> not be accepted, unless a clear, plausible connection to psychology is<br /> made.<br /> <br /> * a particular psychological disorder (e.g., depression, eating<br /> disorder)<br /> <br /> * a particular psychological theory (e.g., object relations theory,<br /> learning theory), as it relates to the material of therapy<br /> <br /> * research relevant to psychotherapy<br /> <br /> * psychopharmacological (drug) or other biological treatments, as they<br /> relate to psychotherapy<br /> <br /> * diagnostic issues<br /> <br /> * therapist training and supervision<br /> <br /> * ethical issues faced by therapists<br /> <br /> * trends in practice (e.g., emerging or alternative modalities)<br /> <br /> * the relationship between psychotherapy and other fields of inquiry<br /> such as philosophy or religion (as long as the discussion remains<br /> focused on psychotherapy)<br /> <br /> * career issues (e.g., establishing a private practice, coping with<br /> managed care) * business related directly to psychotherapy (e.g.,<br /> employment opportunities, equipment for sale)<br /> <br /> * case studies (if and only if client anonymity is ensured)<br /> <br /> * announcements and reports of meetings, conferences, and newsletters,<br /> including those put out by self-help organizations (please consider<br /> posting or cross-posting these to sci.psychology.announce, however)<br /> <br /> * requests for information about a specific problem. However, those<br /> looking for exchanges characteristic of a support group should seek out<br /> an actual support group, as sppm was not designed to serve that <br /> function.<br /> <br /> The following are inappropriate for sppm, and posts containing them will<br /> be rejected:<br /> <br /> * personal attacks, including allegations of professional misconduct<br /> (the latter should be brought to the attention of the appropriate<br /> authorities)<br /> <br /> * discussions which wander far from the topic of psychotherapy<br /> (including spam)<br /> <br /> * cross-posting to groups outside of the psychology topic area, unless<br /> the reason for crossposting is evident (e.g., cross-posting to a sci.med<br /> group when drug therapy is being discussed). Responses may be made to<br /> the same groups or a subset thereof without further justification.<br /> <br /> * gross violations of netiquette. These may include, for example,<br /> excessive repetition -- defined as more than 90% quoted material, or<br /> posting more frequently than once per month an article with more than<br /> 90% unchanged text (moderators may change these value in the future, if<br /> they find them to be unsatisfactory) -- or chronic misattribution of<br /> quoted text.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> sci.psychology.psychotherapy.moderated<br /> sci.psychology.psychotherapy<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT:<br /> <br /> Proponent: Tim McNamara &lt;timmcn@bitstream.net&gt; (one of eight <br /> moderators).<br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> First proposal by Tim McNamara 2010-03-17, submitted to the<br /> sci.psychology.psychotherapy.moderated moderator&#039;s mailing list.<br /> <br /> Second proposal by Tim McNamara 2010-03-27, rejected due to needed<br /> corrections in the RFD.<br /> <br /> Third proposal by Tim McNamara 2010-03-29 with corrections.<br /> <br /> Request for final discussion by Tim McNamara 2010-05-04.<br /> <br /> Last call for comments 2010-05-05 by the Big Eight Management Board.<br /> <br /> <br /> -- <br /> Alexander Bartolich and Martin Moleski, co-chairs of the Big 8 Management Board<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
