Kim Stanley posting this on behalf of Brad Jesness:

A new sort of index to good psychology sites has emerged:  the
META-INDEX.  These indexes list (and provide hot buttons to) only the
following:  to the very best "comprehensive" indexes (on other sites)
related to their area of focus *AND* they list uniquely good psychology
sites (in their area of focus) as well.  There are now 2 meta-indexes in
clinical psychology and psychiatry  (Note:  the meta-indexes do tend to
stay focused, with sites *for a particular profession*, so they do their
job of being both truely good and truely thorough VERY WELL).  These are
the 2 major META indexes today::

A paper on this web site offers a critique of the
counseling/psychotherapy
field and describes solutions.  Along with it you will find another
major
paper (on an ethological conceptualization of learning) and an algorithm
for scoring your own assessment inventories !!  Let me provide a little
more information about the these resources of interest to many people:

The first-mentioned work is a fairly long paper that offers a very
pointed
clear, well-reasoned, well-based critique of the
counseling/psychotherapy
field as it is today, etc.  And it also  outlines the nature of the
SOLUTIONS to the major problems.  This paper has been read in-full and
given enthusiastic positive reviews by major clinical and counseling
professors, including Allen Ivey, Alvin Mahrer, and Robyn Dawes. It has
been considered an important
paper by Paul Barrett of the U.K. (in his view, indicating important
topics of needed research). It has been considered worthy of discussion
in
professional circles by Carroll Izard and Paul Meehl.

Re: Computer Inventory Scoring Algorithm, on this web site (a program to
fully score personality inventories ONESELF):

A quote from a satisfied user: "... The program performs well and
appears
to be accurate. It is a no frills straightforward scoring program that
will allow you to calculate the raw scores as well as the T-scores.
Written in Basic the program is easy to use and to modify to other
psychometric instruments. The program will score forced choice T-F and
Multiple choice instruments. The accompanying instructions ( If followed
faithfully) are very clear and easy to follow. Through the kindness of
Mr.
Jesness the program is in the public domain.  It is available through
his
web site. " (end quote) This program can be used to score ANY forced
choice inventory, even ones with 100 + scales.

The paper outlining an ethological conceptualization of learning may be
very relevant to those interested in learning theory.  It looks at
learning from the standpoint of the findings on memory and principles of
cognitve development.  It also describes learning in terms of the
development of interrelated basic capacities.
