Psychologists for Social Responsibility has set up a "PsySR blog" and I've worked out an arrangement for doing one that is to be posted next week before the Boston APA Convention. Lynne Stewart and I (both members of PsySR) have prepared a draft "Creative Maladjustment and Learned Helplessness" which is to be submitted for editing tomorrow.

I'd hope people might read it and comment. If we are to make "infant and child trauma" being dealt with in a positive way with social accountability our list discussion area, then this kind of direction has merit. My sense is that many on this list and associated are doing things that are substantially similar and that with this blog and other advocacies we can "pull it together."

Apologies to Lynne if I've said anything that doesn't work for her; this last draft is mine.
