Public Interest

   This Public Interest page is meant as a resource for those who either have questions or seek further information about major events currently affecting the public's psychological well being. From time to time as situations arise --as now with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington-- I will post links to potentially useful resources as I become aware of them. Please be aware that not everything offered on the web is of equally high quality, although I will attempt, wherever possible, to screen out questionable resources. This is an informational resource and not among the psychological services I provide.
