In reply to: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "Re: Prenatal/Perinatal Psychology Program" I wasn't trying to impugn UCSB, this school is not associated with UCSB or the University of California system, it is a free-standing graduate program. When they state on their website that they are the only school offering advanced degrees in "prenatal and somatic psychology" it has to make you wonder why?? Either they are on the cutting edge of emerging science and technology (Perhaps they will have their own Nobel laureate someday.) or they are pushing pseudo-science on a gullible population for their own profit.

I'm a graduate of UCSB, a Gaucho through and through. Any university that had 5 noble laureates as facility cannot be thrown off as 'lower tier'...IMHO. Having said that, this course does seem to be pushing the envelope Richard Chudacoff, MD -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Dr. Ainsworth Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 7:15 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Prenatal/Perinatal Psychology Program At Tue, 19 Apr 2005, Stmidwife@aol.com wrote: > >This is the main program in Santa Barbara, CA, but there are several. > >http://www.sbgi.edu/html/ppn1.html > >Sue http://www.birthpsychology.com/violence/chamberlain1.html If you want to learn more about prenatal psychology from one of its leading proponents, look at the above website. Reading about it makes it sound like a point of view in search of scientific validity. The Santa Barbara Graduate Institute is a On-line graduate college of psychology where candidates pursue two unusual specialities: Somatic psychology or prenatal and perinatal psychology. On a quick on-line search, it appeared to me that most of the literature is in the German and Polish journals, not exactly mainstream stuff in the US. Don't you think there could be a reason it isn't offered in the upper tier universities we all have heard of?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
