Reidbord) 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: Steven Reidbord, MD Program on Conscious & Unconscious Mental Processes UCSF Box CSN-0984 401 Parnassus Avenue San Francisco, CA 94143 Or send e-mail to . Thank you very much. ------------------------------ From: ggordon@nprdc.navy.mil (Gary Gordon) 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! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: rubio@pine.circa.ufl.edu (RUBIO) Subject: Luciano L'Abate 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.
