Martin will receive a mail that you are interested in joining the group and he will contact you.
Dear colleagues of the EFPS,
First of all my best wishes for a "Happy New Year" to all of you!
I would like to introduce something "NEW" also for our EFPS group:
Don't you want to get in contact and discuss which each other via our
homepage?
Paul Ornstein has written a paper "On Choosing A Guiding Theory For
Treatment", which I think could be a very good base for an exchange of ideas
and different opinions.
With the help of Niko Zekakis, whom I really want to thank for doing
the work on our homepage and keeping it technically up to date, and Martin
Gossmann to guide the discussion-forum we will start into a year of
electronic exchange until we meet again personally in Dreieich 2011.
Please let me know what you think about this idea and enjoy reading Paul
Ornstein's paper ...... We will let you know about the technical details of
the discussion-forum!
All the best
Andrea Harms
