Our Current Project
|
Through our Departmental Home Page, we have an opportunity to make an even greater contribution to overall awareness of childhood mental illness and its treatments. TheI nternet enables us to distribute psychoeducational materials to colleagues in mental health and to develop our own electronic special needs library. An electronic special needs library will solve the dilemma posed by our orphan books. Marketability, the concern of prospective publishers, has never been a concern of the professionals involved. They view their creative work as comparable to contributing to a professional journal for which there is customarily no compensation. In fact, no one involved in the authorship, illustration, critical reviews of psychoeducational and narrative content or contribution of introduction or commentary has received compensation for their efforts. The royalties received from published titles have been used to pay for education (e.g. summer internships, travel expenses for visiting professors) and research in the I.U. Department of Psychiatry, Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Moreover, electronic publication eliminates concern about the low prevalence of certain conditions that might be suitable targets for psychoeducational intervention. A high standard of quality is maintained through critical peer review. |
