Post-Graduate Study Undertaking

As some of you likely know, i am now the only contributor to this website (and the original owner/operator) and as such i conduct a vast amount of research and write articles when i can – unfortunately i recently started my post graduate study (working towards a Masters in Forensic Mental Health) and subsequently i have had very little time to write articles for this website. I assure you that very shortly you will start to see additional articles on the website (once i have received marks for work submitted as part of my course) but until then, unfortunately, it is very difficult for me to find the time to add anything new (40 – 60 hours a week work, 20 hours a week university study, time with the family etc.).

I do assure you however that the website has not been abandoned, and that this website as well as others in my ‘Blogroll’ at the bottom of the page are being added to and updated when possible. Any questions or comments please feel free to email or comment on any page, i would especially love to hear from anybody living in Melbourne, Australia (as i moved there recently) and anybody interested in forensic psychology or forensic related fields.
