INFO: Sage Publications Project

Replies to: Susan Gay <susang@snip.net>

Primary Sources in Counseling and Psychology is a unique new online database from Sage Publications.

We are looking to partner with leading practitioners to get transcripts that could be part of this research and educational tool. Our goal is to provide scholars, students, and therapists a window into the nuances of the process and experience of therapy. We plan to include transcripts of more than 2,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions – to date, we have almost half of those! The response we have gotten from educators is overwhelming -- everyone seems to want this kind of service and all feel that it would be extremely valuable in education and, ultimately, in helping patients. Each transcript will be carefully edited to ensure that it meets accepted guidelines and that neither the practitioner nor the patient will be identifiable. Our staff is fully trained in HIPAA guidelines. We believe we can adhere to current ethical guidelines and still create a dynamic, unique database. These transcripts will also be comprehensively indexed to enable research on the process of therapy on a scale never before possible.

Whether you might have 1 or 100 transcripts, we would welcome the opportunity to talk with you. Each therapist's contribution is handled differently depending on their own requirements, so the entire process of contributing to this educational venture is a highly personal one. If you want to know more, I hope you will contact me for a confidential discussion. Susan Gay, susang@snip.net or 610-581-7468.
