1) What is Psyche Visual Psyche Visual is a multimedia scientific publication / database with a focus on Mental Health and related subjects. We try at Psyche Visual to cover all aspects of brain and mind. Its content covers many schools of thoughts and philosophies. From the latest in Neuroscience research and applications to the oldest in Shamanic healing. It is as much a reference as a forum of thoughts around brain and mind matters from multiple perspectives. The content is organised broadly by two axes: A. Schools of thoughts and therapeutic concepts. i.e. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Analytical Therapy, The Internet in Practice, Self Psychology, Couple Therapy, Child and Adolescent, Art Therapy, Religion and Spirituality, philosophy and the mind, to name a few. B. Concept, diagnosis and illnesses; i.e. Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, dissociation, shame, Sexual abuse, domestic violence, Large‐scale Emergencies, Racism and Discrimination, Trauma and PTSD etc.. *Psyche Visual can be also searched through its integrated search tool by speaker name or by key words. 2) How content is sourced and reviewed The content of Psyche Visual is sourced broadly in two ways: A. Lectures directly commissioned by the editors and recorded in our studios or on site at a university. B. Lectures organised by reputable third party Colleges and Associations from around the world where Psyche Visual is invited to publish the content of the seminars, workshops and conferences. Many of our speakers are world authorities in their fields while many others are young researchers presenting some of the most fascinating new researches and concepts. Here is a sample list of the Institutions that have been publishing in Psyche Visual.  International Society for Health and Human Right (ISHHR)  Sydney University, Psychotherapy Master in Medicine Course  World Council for Psychotherapy (WCP)  Australian Association of Buddhist Counsellors And Psychotherapist (AABCAP)  Australia and New Zealand Association of Psychotherapy (ANZAP)  Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA)  NSW Services for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS)  Brisbane Institute of Strength Based Practices.  Applied Neuroscience Society for Australasia (ANSA)  Australian Society of Psychological Medicine (ASPM)  World Council for Psychotherapy (WCP)  Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT) Being an Australian based publisher and having started in Australia, one notices that a majority of our contributing associations are Australia and Asia Pacific based. It is a practice, however, among these institutions as in many other parts of the world that conference organisers aim to source multiple worldwide authorities as invited speakers, thus the diversity in countries of origin of our speakers. You can view this list in depth via the “Contributors” link on the home page of the Psyche Visual website. The peer reviewing of the content of Psyche Visual is different from the printed peer reviewed journal due to the fact that the lectures are largely recorded live in conferences. The first layer in our vetting of the content is by publishing only content from events organised by reputable organisations where speakers and presentations have been initially screened and approved by the scientific organising committee of the association or college. The second layer is by our editors at Psyche Visual, where a presentation is deemed acceptable or not for publication. 3) Why it is useful to Universities and educational institutions We do not see Psyche Visual as a replacement of the paper peer reviewed publications but as a supplementary tool filling a dimension that has until now been missing. In a metaphoric way one may say that the right brain has been missing from our education systems. In our conversation with our speakers and reviewing the content of our publication, one striking point is the large amount of material that is presented that does not end up in the printed paper journals for a variety of reasons. By far, the most predominant reason is the lack of available time. It is much simpler for a practitioner or a researcher to present their findings or clinical observations at a conference than to go through the time consuming exercise of writing it for publication. Due to that, a large part of the content available is exclusively found at Psyche Visual. Seeing and listening to a speaker talking about his experience and research covering his published material adds a dimension that cannot be conveyed by the written world. The affect and emotions of the speakers, their interaction with the subjects, their tonality and enthusiasm about aspects of their talks and their pondering at points makes an immeasurable amount of difference to the viewers’ experience and absorption of the subject. Students will benefit from this more lateral than vertical dimension of learning allowing different aspects of the brain to interact with the subject matter of their study. The large scope and the eclectic nature of the content certainly add to this experience. 4) Lecturers at universities have been using Psyche Visual by:  Referring students to specific lectures that they include in their courses recommended reading/viewing lists. Some universities are taking advantage of the facility included in Psyche Visual for that purpose while other universities prefer to use their own integrated facilities and refer to the presentations in Psyche Visual through the provision of hyperlinks to the lecture that they are recommending for viewing.  Asking their students to view a video prior to a lecture or a tutorial where the content is to be discussed.  Running a short part of a video during a lecture as an example or to reference a point.  Running a video and using it as a scaffold for the whole lecture or tutorial with real time discussion of key points with students. None of these modalities are new; they have been used by lecturers using cassette tapes and DVDs for a long time. However, never before has such a large database been available to them at the tip of their fingers in the classroom. Because of the wide breadth of the content in subject matters and views, the resource has proven very useful for various departments in our subscribed universities and other organisations i.e. Psychology, Psychiatry, Counselling, Social Work, Nursing (various specialties) and Trauma Rehabilitation among many others. The format that Psyche Visual uses is geared towards fairness and practicality. All presentations are accompanied by downloadable PDF files of the PowerPoint presentations and audio mp3 files. The lectures are portable and many of our users and subscribers find that the ideal time to listen to presentations is when driving their cars or walking in a park. Psyche Visual is also geared with the needs of all users in mind. As such, videos are made available at a bit rate and format which is highly accessible on most internet connections around the world and the mp3 and PDF files that accompany the available presentations make the materials further accessible to those with less capable internet connections.
