[misc.wanted] Computer Assisted Counselling

martyn@garfield.UUCP (Martyn Quigley) (01/23/88)

A colleague of mine is researching possible ways of doing counselling of
personal/health/emotional problems by computer and by other non-visual distance
learning methods.  In particular he is interested in how provision can (or 
ought) to be made for the lack of non-verbal communication between counsellor 
and counsellee (?) when there is no visual contact, or when the counsellor just
happens to be a computer program.

He will use PC clones for any software which could be suitable.

We are aware of some software produced by "Multihealth Systems Inc":

  If You Drink
  Coping With Tests
  Help - Esteem
  Help - Stress

Can anyone point him to any other PC software, or any sources of relevant
publications in this general area?  He would be _very_ grateful.

Please e-mail to the address(es) below, and I will summarize in due course.
