I'd like to announce to Usenet a program for the IBM PC
and compatibles. It is called "Overcoming Depression."
This program implements a cognitive therapist who 
specializes in treating low feelings and trying to get
you to become your own therapeutic agent.

The program has a sophisticated natural language parser
that lets you "talk" with the therapist. Inbetween you
are given lesson on material on the subject.

The program was designed by Professor Dr. Ken Colby.
People who have some roots in the A.I. field will recognize
Colby as a graduate of the Yale School of Medicine, and as
the creator of the famous "PARRY" program -- a program that
modeled/simulated paranoid thought processes.
