Description
General Information
Welcome to Psychology of the Self Online, the interactive eJournal of the new organization, the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology. This eJournal is dedicated to the dissemination of self psychologically informed ideas and to functioning as an interactive connector for the international self psychology community. It is our hope that Psychology of the Self Online will enhance the intellectual excitement, creativity, and collegiality that exists within our far-flung community. To accomplish this, www.psychologyoftheself.com will engage the unique interactive and multimedia qualities of the World Wide Web. In addition, this eJournal will function as an electronic distributor for publications of the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology. Self Psychology News, the IAPSP Annual Conference brochure, and IAPSP's new quarterly journal, the International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology all can be accessed through this online eJournal. You will find icons on the homepage and buttons in the navigator toolbar that will lead you to these publications.
In addition, the eJournal includes: a section devoted to the biography, audio recordings, and edited lectures of Heinz Kohut; a bibliography of self psychological writings, compiled by Jill Gardner; a photo gallery of pictures from the Annual Conferences and other events that have occurred in the world wide self psychology community, as well as a section dedicated to Distinguished Papers & Prizes. These papers will include The Kohut Prize, a paper competition for untenured academic people who apply Kohut's ideas to their work, Kohut Memorial Lectures delivered at the annual meetings, and other special lectures. A "Book Store" button will take you to what the self psychology community is currently writing and will provide you with a link to a site that will allow you to purchase the book of your interest. Members of IAPSP will receive a 20% discount on books purchased through this site.
Psychology of the Self Online will engage cyber-discussions of timely papers and issues of current concern. A teaching-journal section devoted to making self psychologically informed education widely available, especially to people who are "geographically disadvantaged" will eventually be added. As part of our mission to enhance the creativity of our community, we will initiate an interactive Writers' Workshop that will support, teach, and encourage scholarly writing. We plan to post articles of 2500 words that come out of the workshop as well as pieces written by the general community.
