Individuals with manifest Huntington's disease (HD) were interviewed with regard to the presence, frequency, and severity of depression symptoms to better characterize depressed mood across the disease course in HD. Rates of depression were more than twice that found in the general population. One-half reported that they had sought treatment for depression, and more than 10% reported having at least one suicide attempt. The proportion of HD patients endorsing significant depression diminished with disease progression. Despite the public health impact of depression, available treatments are underutilized in HD, and research is needed to document the efficacy and effectiveness of standard depression treatments in this population.

Advanced media technology, including videoconferencing and the Internet, provides psychologists with increasing opportunities to offer and supervise psychological services. This article describes practical and ethical issues (e.g., confidentiality, informed consent, licensing, and relationship) involved in the use of online services for supervision.

These results extend previous fMRI studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) by demonstrating an association between greater disease burden and increased neural recruitment during episodic memory. In addition, the stronger correlations observed between lesion volume and brain activation during retrieval than encoding would suggest that retrieval processes are more affected by MS-related cerebral pathology.

A national sample of counseling center (CC) directors participated in a survey concerning their centers' policies and practices as a way of assessing the validity of M. S. Chisolm's (1998) criticisms of mental health care on college campuses and opening a discussion about the future of such services. Participants completed either a traditional or an electronic (E-mail) survey. On the basis of responses from 114 CCs and clinical forms submitted by 81 CCs, results provided support for a traditional mail survey, differences between large and small institutions, and a lack of support for M. S. Chisolm's criticisms of campus mental health care. Recommendations for campus mental health services are provided.
