ASSOTS- thru ASSOTSZ

We need to build a community, which can be quite small, of serious and knowledgeable scholars who take the subject of human experience to be as valid as the study of memory, attention, neuroimaging, formal logic, etc. Without that kind of sustained and productive interaction the field will continue to have a spasmodic and dillettantish quality.

In addition to conferences, the Association runs electronic seminars through its website.

• Consciousness and Cognition
• PSYCHE.

Objectives:

• Establish standards for professional and ethical practice; to support research and the dissemination of knowledge
• Provide professional leadership in the field of group work
• Extend counseling through the use of group process
