We network extensively in the UK and world wide to promote psychological help for people trying to recover from a psychotic illness, in contrast to what we see as the still dominant emphasis on purely biological or administrative approaches.

The list is moderated on behalf of the UK section of ISPS, International Society
for Psychological Treatments of Schizophrenia and other Psychoses,
The international website is at www.isps.org/
The UK page is at www.isps.org/uk/index.shtml

This information list currently going to over 350 people has a moderate volume and a very high content to noise ratio.

If you are resident or work in the UK, and support our aims, we offer 3 months trial of this information/discussion email.

This email list has its own website via Yahoo groups. Members of this email list who wish to use it, do not need to specify age or gender or any other details when enrolling for a Yahoo Groups identity.
