I'm not a psychiatrist, but from what I can gather mostly medical and psychology journals. The latter also discuss the various talk therapies, somretimes anecdotally but often in quantifiable terms. Individual schools of thought also have their journals, but primarily psychiatrists who were trained in one of the corresponding certificate-granting programs subscribe. Most psychiatrists have not attended any of these. At 04:17 PM 7/12/2000 -0700, you wrote: >Dear Mark, > >That's interesting, I wasn't aware of that.
