Hi Rob,
I've subscribed to PsyPhy and there appears to be good info there,
but the brainmaster group is for registered users... and there are
other groups that only allow practitioners with the right credentials
to participate - even for just reading the archives. Do you have any
more references to share? Any info is greatly appreciated!

I'm sure a lot of people on this list have searched the web for
information on a topic they are interested in and only come up with
crap, and felt frustrated about it.
Well, I have done a lot of searching for protocols, but usually the
research results are located in a "restricted" area on a company
website. For a big pile of money (aka weekend course, for only like
$1000) or if you're an insider, you can read it.
For instance, it would be nice to take a look at the Peniston-
Kulkosky protocol (for my meditation practice), but it is not
available anywhere online, only the report describing the results of
a study. Why is the protocol itself not available? Copyright reasons?
It's a scientific paper and ought to be in the public domain, just
like the study findings!!
For such a small scientific field, the clinicians appear far too keen
on keeping their results to themselves or among themselves. A lot
more data would be online otherwise. Case in point: The Ayers vs.
Othmer lawsuits, where Margaret Ayers felt the Othmers were using her
technology without permission and sued for patent infringement.
It seems making money is primary, and helping suffering people is
secondary! :-(
<flame mode off>
If this field is to ever go into the mainstream, a lot more hard data
and information absolutely must be available for outsiders. Doctors,
psychologists, patients and others. Glossy brochures won't do. Only
real, hard, facts and DIY-information can awaken people's interest.
I hope a good discussion can form around this. Rob, perhaps you can
bring it up at the Miami meeting?
Regards,
Andreas
