Bulletin Board
The Psychologist
The Psychologist has a redesigned website
(www.thepsychologist.org.uk), which includes
a Forum section providing a discussion facility
for three types of thread: discuss and debate
(for anything prompted by something you
have read in The Psychologist, or any other
psychological issue); information (e.g. seeking
information from the psychological community,
work experience, participants for a
study); and question time (for seeking serious
or offbeat questions that can prompt
evidence-based responses from a variety of
psychologists).
