Announcing-- PSYART the list-conference of IPSA, the Institute for Psychological Study of the Arts, University of Florida, Gainesville FL 32611-2036. Our list is interested in the psychological study of literature in particular, but also film and, in practice, any of the arts. We tend to be psychoanalytically focused, but we welcome comments from any psychological orientation. We also carry postings simply dealing with psychoanalysis or psychology in general. Recent queries and discussions have focused on: course syllabuses in the field; arts and the Internet; the Gates profile in the _New Yorker_; blind and deaf patients and therapists; chaos theory as applied to human identity; the validity of Lacan; art therapy. The list has been running since January 1993. As of March 1994, PSYART has about 180 subscribers from 16 countries, including humanists, clinicians, artists, students, and experimenters.
