NETLETTER is an informal newsletter circulated since 1986 among practitioners and researchers interested in applying social network analysis to intervention in the fields of mental health and human services. NETLETTER'S 55 subscribers come from 13 countries (including 16 States in the United States and 2 Provinces in Canada), on 4 continents. Articles include reviews of publications and conference presentations, readers' correspondence, updates of the NETLETTER DIRECTORY of readers, and news of readers' activities. NETLETTER has reported on projects in Sweden, including a demonstration program to use network therapy as an alternative to more disruptive child protective interventions, and a multipurpose crisis intervention center using network therapy. We reported on an ambitious program in Norway to introduce the network intervention model into a wide range of medical, mental health, and social service settings, on community network intervention to prevent child maltreatment in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and to serve the chronically mentally ill and their families in Toronto, and on other projects in Holland and Yugoslavia. We heard case descriptions of network assemblies for a man with AIDS, and for two friends caught up in folie a deux. NETLETTER has provided a forum for debate on conceptual and practical issues.

You can participate in the fellowship of NETLETTER readers, practitioners and scholars from around the world who share an interest in practical intervention with social networks. Issues are produced and circulated intermittently from the desktop of David Trimble.

Let's help NETLETTER evolve from an informal newsletter into a bulletin of practicing network interventionists, a forum for exchange of news, views, and information about discoveries and dilemmas of everyday practice. Your correspondence will help this evolution along. NETLETTER'S computer can handle 3 1/2" high density disks, and our software (Microsoft Publisher) can convert a wide variety of standard files, should you choose to sent your contributions on magnetic media or by email.
