1. Viewing

This site is best viewed on modern browsers with a screen resolution of at least 800 x 600 with High Colour (16 Bit) selected. The latest versions of these browsers are available free and are best installed from cover-disks widely available on computer magazines. The resolution and text-size are correct when the top menu bar is on a single line, and the entire width of a page can be read without horizontal scrolling.

In addition, to optimise the size of the website on your screen you can, with Internet Explorer, adjust the size of the text under the 'view' menu of the browser. In Netscape Navigator you can adjust the size of the text by pressing CTRL and ] keys simultaneously. CTRL and [ keys reduce the font size. This should be adjusted until the menu items under the main banner and on the top menu-bar are correctly aligned, so that all the items are in a single line under the 'British Psychoanalytical Society' banner.

If you are using software supplied as part of Compuserve, AOL or any other service-provider who supplies a 'front-end' windows application for running Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, you are advised to use the option to use the External Browser if this is available to you. Many internet sites cannot be viewed properly with such third-party products.

2. Navigation

The home page is also known as the site's Frontpage. There is a brief Welcome statement and a description of our Editorial Policy. There is also a link to a  comprehensive listing of all qualified and internationally recognised psychoanalysts working in the UK, so that the public can check whether practitoners claiming to be psychoanalysts in fact possess this international recognition.

On the left hand side there is a menu bar giving single-click access to the major sections of the website. It is replicated on most pages throughout the site. There is also a scrollable menu at the bottom of the page, which is also to be found in the same position on other sections. There is a also a search facility at the bottom of most left-hand menu bars.

Most links are grey and turn black when the mouse hovers on them.
