The online clinical case study group: an e-mail model.

Online peer supervision and case study groups are an effective method for clinicians to share experiences and support each other in their work. This article describes some theoretical and practical ideas about how to set up and manage such a group using an e-mail list. It offers some suggests for helping members acclimate to the group, present their cases, and pace their responses to the case discussions. The unique group dynamics of online text communication are explored, as well as the important ethical issues that must be considered in these types of online groups. The article concludes by pointing out the importance of moving beyond text-talk in order to maximize the group's success.

Psychological factors associated with maintenance of improved health behaviors in postcoronary patients.

Multiple regression analyses of interview data determined whether certain behavioral, personality, and social support variables were associated with maintenance of changes in exercise, weight loss, and smoking cessation for a group of postcoronary patients. The results indicate that the psychological reactions to success or failure at one health behavior change, especially smoking, may affect the ability to maintain changes in other health behaviors. Also, the affective psychological sequelae to heart attacks may disrupt attempts to change health habits or may themselves be alleviated once successful health changes are achieved.
