Please consider this your invitation to join our brand new list, PMTH.
PMTH stands for "Postmodern Therapies." It is a list intended primarily for therapists, graduate students, and scholars with a special interest in psychotherapy. Others can join, but they must be sponsored by a listmember and their application will be reviewed by the listowners and an advisory board. We know you qualify, however, and you can join just be writing a note to Lois Shawver. You can do this by clicking on the E-mail link at the bottom of this page.
The discussion topics on PMTH may vary widely, but you can anticipate an emphasis on postmodern topics which discuss the meaning, advantages and disadvantages of postmodern thinking for therapists. We consider the heart of our own postmodernism to be a quest to create productive conversation in which people generally feel that their understanding of discussed issues moves forward in a collaborative way. We think you would fit in and help us foster a conversation such a conversation and so we are especially interested in you joining.
We say "we" because this list is the creation of 7 people who were dissatisfied with the climate on another list. Leonard Bohanon, Peter Rober, Catherine Levine, SY Yusim, Tom Hicks, and Craig Smith serve as an advisory group to the primary listowner, Lois Shawver. Leonard will serve as a back-up listowner. All of us will be trying to create a site in which productive conversation (paralogy) can flourish.
We welcome your presence and want to invite you personally to join us. If you would like to join, click here and you will be provided with an E-mail form in which you can write me. Then I'll start the process. Sometimes, due to the way the list is structured, this may take a day or two. If you have not heard from us, however, in a couple of days, please feel free to get back to us and push the process along, as sometimes I can get bogged down. When you are subscribed, you will get a subscription notice immediately. Probably you will begin receiving mail, as well, for this is becoming a quite lively list. However, if that is not so, you can address the PMTH directly, once you're a subscriber, by posting to: clicking here.
