NEW CASE: HAROLD PAYNE

August 11, 1996

Our new Clinical Case Conference has begun! There is nothing like it on the Web and it is the most popular feature in the brief history of Behavior OnLine. If you are a psychotherapist, or are in training for this professional role, I cordially invite you to participate in the Conference and I encourage you to contibute your comments and questions.

Presenting the Case of Harold Payne is Donald Nathanson, the widely known and highly regarded theorist and clinician/teacher whose work is concerned with shame and affect theory. He is executive director of the Silvan S. Tomkins Institute, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, and a regular columnist at Behavior OnLine.

Joining Don as expert commentators are three other senior clinician/teachers, all of whom are active in the Behavior OnLine community:

• Jessical Broitman of the San Fransisco Psychotherapy Research Group who represents the perspective of Control Mastery Theory as articulated by Weiss and others.

• Henry Stein of the Adler Institute of San Francisco, a leading proponent of Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy.

• Vick Kelly, a senior collaborator of Nathanson's and the training director of the Tomkins Institute.
