Theme 3: Monsters and Madness

1. Abnormal Psychology class lecture notes
   From U Calgary. Looks pretty detailed.

2. National Alliance of the Mentally Ill (NAMI)
   As they tell you in their history, they are an advocacy group founded by relatives of people with mental illnesses.
3. Mental Health Encyclopedia
   An amazing amount of information put together by a Canadian psychiatrist. There is information on disorders and medications as well as articles etc.

4. Dual Diagnosis Website
   Mental Illness plus Drug Addiction and/or Alcoholism. Includes complete articles and chapters to download; the development of a national directory of dual diagnosis treatment programs; up-coming events; resource materials and services for training and program development; the option to join a new professional dual diagnosis listserv; a bulletin board for resources; a live chat room; links to other sites, and a search engine.
   
5. CEDRReference
   I forgot exactly what this is. I think it's like the PDR and GenRx, at least it turned up when I was looking for PDR-like stuff.

6. Search Medline here
   Medline is the primary electronic search tool for medical sciences. Includes psychiatry-related articles.

7. US DHHS
   U.S. Department of Health and Human Services home page. This page includes a list of other HHS agencies on the net.

8. NYU's Psychiatry Dept list
   Includes their public information page, which has preliminary screenings for depression, anxiety, and other issues.

9. GenRx
   A reference book like the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR), it has very detailed information about each drug, and seems well linked internally.

10. Internet Mental Health
    I haven't looked at who is running this site. Check closely.

Theme 1: Dreams and Nightmares

Dream links

1. Neal's dream links
2. dreams and their interpretations

   great little page, though not recently updated. Has some dreams and their interpretations (by anyone). You can submit a dream or an interpretation. I'd be happy to discuss any of them with you.

3. links to "States of Consciousness

   has some neat links to "States of Consciousness" in general.

4. big list of dream links

   seems mostly to dream journals and dream-like art. Unfortunately, the link about Kurosawa's Dreams was 404.

5. complete text of William James's Varieties of Religious Experience

   famous text by one of the fathers of psychology.

Freud links

1. Freud's Interpretation of Dreams

   If you found On Dreams from the reading packet too easy going, here's a much more ponderous text, his famous work on dreams. You should be able to get into this, given the background you already have. For example, here's more stuff on condensation and displacement, including more of his examples. Here are yet more examples and, I believe, where his focus goes astray. "This often is" statements are interesting. Hopefully reading these at least breaks your mind to more outlandish possibilities.

2. Freudian Interpretation of Cat in the Hat
   Checked this out, only a couple of pages...interesting.

3. Freud Net, New York Psychoanalytic Institute

Jung links & such

1. Jung Society in Seattle
   Lots of info on local programs, background on speakers, upcoming events. They have speakers regularly.

2. The film shown about "Star Wars" and the hero's journey is from the first episode of Joseph Campbell & Bill Moyers' "The Power of Myth" series. You can rent any of the six tapes at Scarecrow Video (Roosevelt area), perhaps at other places. The first episode is all about the hero myth. Lots of good stories throughout.
3. Jung biography

4. Keirsey Temperament Sorter
   This is the mid-length version of the Myers-Briggs personality types, which came from Jung's work on archetypes. (A shorter version is called the Tieger Assessment of Personality Test.) They will score it for you. They have been updating the page, including famous people who are of certain types. They have a link to the official Keirsey home page.

5. Pygmalion Project
   Good example of myth that serves as example of archetype. Notice the character, the task, the whole situation.
6. Lovers in Literature
   Provocative list of lovers according to temperament type. Have not examined it closely.
7. Jung Society in LA
   Lots of info on local programs, bookstore and research, as well as list of related sites. 4 or 5 I don't have.
   (12/96: changed address).

8. "The" Jung home page
   Lots of info, some interesting pics.

9. Good primer page
   You can understand some of his concepts through quotes from his writings. Good variety of quotes.

10. More Jung

11. Schizophrenia and Spiritual

12. Myths
    Has text of interesting myths, seems to be somewhat cross-cultural.

13. Psychology of Religion page
    Has interesting article on questions of child abuse in "The Family" a cult/new religious movement.

14. European Conference on Personality

15. Jung info
    This link is gone, but it was very cool. If anyone knows where it went, please let me know. Lots of stuff - not links, lots of quotes, info on 6 or so subjects.

Cognitive links

1. notes from a book coming out on neural nets seems to be quite a bit here. The introductory sections might help; one is a compact review of how real neurons work.

2. memory techniques
   examples & explanations
