Subject: Query: Computerized Psychotherapy

I am seeking out past and present attempts to create computer programs that
perform psychotherapy.  While I am aware of several cognitive-behavioral
paradigms that are machine-administered, my focus instead is on insight-
oriented, relatively non-directive therapy. Perhaps the earliest and best known
effort of this sort was ELIZA (1966), which rather primitively simulated
Rogerian therapy.  My aim is to document the state-of-the-art in this
domain, given the impressive advances in computer science since 1966.

Please send ideas, information, source code, etc., to:

Or send e-mail to <reidbord@macpsy.ucsf.edu>.  Thank you very much.

Subject: The measurement of attitudes

I have recently involved myself in a number of projects concerning the
measurement of attitudinal constructs.  It seems to me that the majority
of attitude measures are ludicrous at best, and their development
equally amusing.  Should anyone have expertise and/or unique ideas
regarding the measurement of attitudes, I would be anxious to hear from
you.  Anything in the "paired comparisons" arena?  Something else
entirely?  Fresh, new ideas please (i.e. nothing along the old Master
Attitude Scales line).  Thanx!

        I am trying to get some kind of information on Luciano L'Abate. I think
that he is in Wichita somewhere. He wrote a book that was published around 1950
by Grune-Straton titled "Principles of Clinical Psychology".

        Any info. on him would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail to:
