Hi, I'm Kati Breckenridge and this is my first year as the Chief
Editor of Self Psyhology News, the IAPSP online newsletter. Let me introduce my area
editors: the West coast Editor is Nancy VanDerHeide; the East coast
Editor is Holly Levenkron; the Midwest Editor is Amy Eldridge; and the
International Editor is Giac Giacomantonio. More information about the
editors can be found in the masthead. Christine Kieffer was
formerly the Editor-in-Chief and she leaves me with big boots to fill.
Having worked on the newsletter for awhile now, I can really appreciate
what she did for IAPSP.
So... to the contents: There are three op-ed articles about the issue
of confidentiality and the Internet as it relates to our clinical case
presentations. Sietze VanDerHeide sets
out the legal implications and
makes some suggestions. Andy Morrison offers a disturbing example of
what can happen when a patient's material is published on the Internet
and then is recognized by that patient. Amy Eldridge discusses the
dilemmas that are integral to internet publishing of clinical cases.
There is a feature article by Margy Sperry that argues for the
"something more" that results from disruption and repair cycles. And
then there are the 2007 self psychology conference summaries. In
addition to being summaries, each piece is in and of itself a short
article worth reading.
Finally, there is a section on recent book publications of members
and one for news of members. These are offered pretty much as they were
sent in to me, really informal and in no particular order. I look
forward to even more postings next year as readers get familiar with
these sections. If you want, you can start sending me your information
now (newsletter@psychologyoftheself.com)
and I'll just keep it for our next edition. So welcome—and
welcome too are your comments.
Back to top.
