As part of its mission to promote interdisciplinary debate on all
aspects of psychopathology InterPsych would like to
encourage applications from neuroscience professionals wishing to
establish new discussion fora as part of the organization, a non-
profit making body (501(c)3 registered in the State of New York.
InterPsych will shortly have its own server and a WWW site to be
called the InterPsych Virtual Campus. We would welcome your
suggestions as to how these facilites can best be put at the disposal
of neuroscientists in medicine, academia, research, and all other
relevant areas.
Could those who are interested please send detailed proposals and a
cv to myself, or the InterPsych Forum Manager, Sunkyo Kwon
fu03c2dj at fub46.zedat.fu-berlin.de.
Regards
Ian Pitchford
Secretary, InterPsych Board of Directors

InterPsych forums (aka mailing lists) are one way mental health
and behavioural science professionals, students, and interested
others keep up with discourse in their fields, as well as keeping
up with each other.
Below find a listing of InterPsych forums which use e-mail.
Monthly, you'll receive InterPsych's newsletter which will keep
you informed of things going on around InterPsych, as well as
inform you of other InterPsych tools and programs available to
you in the fields of mental health and behavioural science.
Like everything on the Internet, InterPsych is evolving. We look
