PSEUDOSCIENCE
- Final Section
This
issue sees the conclusion of our main theme topic: Pseudoscience.
We have concentrated on psychotherapy in the first part
of this section as so many of our contributors are involved in
this area. It is our hope that they will find the theme
sufficiently controversial to be inspired to provide feedback
and comments - perhaps even an article - to grace the pages of
our next issue.
To
compensate for this "one-sidedness", we have devoted
the second part of this section to a summary of a vast range of
other areas where pseudoscience has been identified and have, in
every case, provided a link to a website where further
information may be obtained.
EDUCATION
- and Letters to the Editor
Following
our customary practice of having articles reviewed by our
specialist editors before publication, we received from
Education Editor Mark Edwards a letter (in a non-editorial
capacity) criticising some of the views expressed by Penelope
Waite in her article on Giftedness. Penelope will be
responding in our next issue, but we hope the (somewhat
intemperate?) note of Mark's letter might inspire others
(particularly those involved in the area of education) to
provide their own input.
BOUNDARIES
- Our next Main Theme
Please
let us have your contributions for the next issue. Every
one of us is involved in boundaries in one form or another,
whether this be in our personal or professional lives. Here are
some ideas.
How
do we maintain boundaries? What are appropriate boundaries
in therapy between practitioner/doctor and client/patient?
Whose is the responsibility for maintaining boundaries?
What about boundaries between organisations or within
organisations? What boundaries should be established
between children and their parents? What is the most
appropriate way to set personal boundaries and/or to reinforce
them?
DATES
for the next issues
We
would like to received articles, letters and book reviews by
February 15 for the next issue and by April 15 for our
subsequent issue. Don't forget that even if you are not in
a position to write articles yourself, we are always happy to be
directed to the source of interesting material where the author
maybe approached for permission to reproduce.
A
Seasonal Greeting
This
is the first issue of 2005 and we take the opportunity of
wishing all readers the very best of health and happiness.
We also fervently hope that the year will be more peaceful and
more free of disasters than was its predecessor.
