, . 1From the President's De2.k can't to justify adding psychopharmacology to the list of PsychSCAN topics. APA estimates a quarterly publication on psychophakmacology would yield approximately 775 abstracts every 3 months or 3,100 annually. APA's model for the PsychSCAN publicatiods is to enlist the support of particular Divisionis), meaning that a percentage of Division dues would be earmarked for the PS~~~~CANpublication. If we were to go that route, Divisional dues will increase by an amount to be determined by whether oiher ~ivihonsare also interested. A current ballpark estimate based, for example, on the PsychSCAN in behavior analysis and therapy supported by Division 25 is an increase in yearly dues of approximately $12.00. APA members who are not Division 25 approximately twice that fee for the same yearly subscription. Another option APA is willing to consider, but may not is to go forward without any particular division's support. Then all APA members would simply have the option of subscribing at a particular rate that is likely to be somewhat higher than the $25 nonmembers pay for the Division 25 PsychSCAN. The Psych NFO Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of APA's Publications and Communications Board, has approached us and Division 5 I (Addictions) to assess interest on this new PsychSCAN. If you would be kind enough to send me your opinions by completin the brief survey listed below, I will pass them along to the PsychINFO Advisory Committee. I understand that some of you may h1 ve been contacted earlier by APA regarding your potential interest in this periodical. If you would nevertheless please it would permit us to more accurately assess current Division interest. to other matters, response to the announcement of an upcoming Special Issue of Experimental and Clinical to celebrate the Decade of Behavior has been excellent. Many of you have already notified Warren Bickel or submitting manuscripts. We encourage others to join in as well. Another announcement is found in
That is it for now. I look forward to seeing many of you in Boston.

inform you of an upcoming Special Issue of Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology (ECP), "Decade of Behavior." We invite you to submit a paper for consideration. The Special Issue will be edited jointly inviting submissions of theoretical and review articles as well as empirical reports. If you are interested in article, please contact Warren with a brief proposal. The focus of ECP is to integrate pharmacology and behavior. However, often the focus in psychopharmacology research is on the pharmakology of the compound tested and not what the compounds reveal about behavior. The purpose of this Special Issue will be to focus attention on behavior and what pharmacology can reveal about it. More specifically, this Special Issue will be devoted to dhe importance of behavior in psychopharmacology and substance abuse. The goal is to highlight behaviorally-oriented research and its contribution to understanding psychopharmacology and substance abuse. Manuscripts consisting of empirical reviews are welcome. A range of possible topics are relevant in the Special Issue and include, but are not of behavioral and pharmacological treatments; (2) the behavioral specificity of pharmacological agents; can modulate the behavioral actions of drogs; (4) the role of particular behavioral repertories in the (5) behavioral treatments for substance use disorders. The deadline for submission is August 1, to APA guidelines. Manuscripts will undergo the usual review process. Please contact us if you have ady questions. We look forward to your response.

However, psychologists could play a very significant sole in the care of this poplation. The outcome sesexch literature strongly indicates that while psychoactive niedications can sllL?pre!js the symptonw of serious metal illness, psychological rehabilitation act~~allyholds out hope for recovery. In this end8eavor,psychologists would be will advised to work to develop p~~stnersipswith recovered consumers. There is a growing cadre of people who have recovered from serious ~nentdillness wlio can serve as invaluable allies in the recovery process because of their ability to relate tcs the cons~~nier'sexperience. Such consumers, also known as "s~~rvivorsof psychiatric trcatrnent" and "ex- mental patients" are interested in collaborating with psychologists, and deeply believe from ].heir own experiences that psychotherapy and psychosocial rehabilitation can be very beneficial. But to develop such 21 coalitio~i,consunxxs state clearly that psychologists must understand tlie perspectives of consumers on. ,such matters as participating in their own recovery, the integration of self-help with professional services. living with a diagnosis of serious metal illness, forced treatment and its alternative>,.and on tlie abuses that ~nanyhave experienced in the mental health systems. There will be a min-convention this sunimes at the APA convention in Boston on this very topic. Titled "Consumess and Psychologists in Dialogue", its purpose is to open a dialogue on the topic of recovery from long term rt~entalillness between the larger psychological community and the co~nniunity01' recovering consumer:, of inental health services, and to begin the process of developing pastiierships and coalitions to our mutual benefit. The idea for the 111i1ii-co~~ventio~iwas generated during a weekend in August 1998 sponsosed by the Center for Mental Health Services of SAMSHA, in which ten representatives each from the psychologist and the consunier co~lin~unitieswere invited to IWashington to work on developing a dialogue. The pariicipants fo~mdthis meeting to be of such significance that we decided that it would be a good idea to present. some of the content to the larger community of psychologists. For, in this era of cost containment in ~nentalhealth services, the time may be sight for the formation of a broad-based coalition between consunms of mental heallh services and psychologists. The mini-convention will consist of I I sessions including a "Town Hall Meeting". in which psychologists speciali~ingin the psychology of long term mental illness conduct a dialogue with consumei-s of mental health sesvices, and in which proniinent leaders in psychology serve as discussants. The niin-convention is sponsored by the APA ]Board of Directors and co-sponsored by the Comnit.tee for the Advancement of Professional Practice, American Psychological Association for Graduate Students, Board of Professional Affairs, Board of Educational Affairs, Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest. a~idIhc divisions of Public Service. Women, Independent Practice, Fmiily Psychology and State Psychc~logicalAssociation Affairs. The mini-convention is partially supported by the Centel- for Mental Health Services.
