schizophrenia source
where did you get the disorganized schizophrenia source about the following quote:

Unlike the paranoid subtype of schizophrenia, delusions and hallucinations are not the most prominent feature, although fragmentary delusions and hallucinations may be present.

Hi there. Wlecome to the Wikipedia. The Smullyan book you asked about is What is the name of this book?. In this (and his other books too) he sets logic puzzles involving knights (who always tell the truth) and knaves (who always lie). This is of course an extension to the age-old problem of the two doors & two guards, one who lies and one who doesn't. Example from Smullyan: you meet two inhabitants of the knight-knave island, A and B. A says to you "I am a knave but B isn't."

It gets more complicated later on, when he introduces words which mean "yes" or "no" interchangeably depending on which type of person you speak to. The belief thing comes in Chapter 12, in Transylvania. Half of the inhabitants are insane, and believe only false things. The other half are sane and believe only true things. But humans always tell the truth, and vampires always lie. So an insane vampire will believe a false thing (2 + 2 is not 4) but will then lie about it, and say that it is. A sane vampire knows 2 + 2 is 4, but will lie and say it isn't. And mutatis mutandis for humans. It's a great book but you muy need to lie down afterwards and check for sanity ;-) -- Tarquin 16:48 Jan 8, 2003 (UTC)

Nice work at schizophrenia. I started that article long ago (though UseModWiki scrubbed its earliest history, which I think was around May 2001). Anyway, it's come along quite nicely since then. Koyaanis Qatsi 00:22 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hello. I don't know anything about psychiatry, but don't you think it is better to say "In medicine, x is a condition in which ..." than to say "X is a medical term used to describe a condition in which ..."? A dog is not a term used to describe an animal; rather a dog is an animal. Moreover, if you must say "X is a term..." or "X refers to..." rather than "X is...", then X should be in italics, since you are referring to a term rather than using the term to refer to something else. Thus: "X is a term ...", etc.  131.183.84.166 21:35 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I was looking over the recent changes you've made to Schizophrenia and I was concerned about the removal of the existing references in favor of a list that you made. Now I don't know what your qualifications are and I assume that the references you added are wonderful, but some of the information that was in that reference is in the article. I added back the citation, but I'm concerned about the posibility that more important information other than the citation itself may have been deleted in this or other articles. I hope that I am way off base with this concern. The work that you have done on citing your sources is wonderful, however, this is not an academic text and for the purpose of an encyclopedia simply having a list of references is usually sufficient. That is to say that it is quite acceptable and should not be removed simply because there are other sources that are cited with superscripts. -- Ram-Man 00:08 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * Just wanted to thank you for your response. I am happy this could be quickly resolved.  -- Ram-Man 16:21 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Just saw your message on my talk page (I've been quite busy the last couple weeks). Should I add the articles I have done to WikiProject Psychopathology, or just new ones in the future? -- Marumari 20:05, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Trying to alert interested parties about the cluster of pages which I have listed under MCS. The pages are a mixture of psychology and information processing. If you use Recent Changes on MCS, you should see some concepts which are not due to me 169.207.90.93 02:39, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC) Never mind. I found a link:. It appears to be real.

I just pasted the material you put on Kuroh5hin into the clinical lycanthropy article. I did some editing to make it more "encyclopedic", removing a few things that were tangental to the article's subject (such as the mention of how cultural factors may contribute to the stories of ghosts, for example) and making some of the wording a little more impersonal. Hope I didn't break anything in the process. :) Bryan 20:32, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Oh, while I'm reminded of the subject and since you clearly known a great deal about psychological-type subjects, a while back I encountered an uncertainty about the difference between kinesthesia and proprioception. I raised the issue on Talk:Proprioception and there's been some interesting feedback but I'd love to hear if there's an expert opinion on this subject. Bryan 20:39, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

A category for psychiastrists is a good idea, but it should be limited to real people. Fictional psychiatrists should be in a separate category, or better yet in a subcategory of fictional characters, so I took out Lecter, the Crane brothers, and the Soprano psychiatrist.

Folie a deux
It's not uncommon to reference popular culture in similar articles (e.g. Rain Man and Mercury Rising are both mentioned in the Autism) piece. The joke seems to be quite a good example of folie a deux, and supplements the rather short - and bland - case study above.

Attachment theory
Hello, I've noticed the general subject are of your edits and wondered if you might want to look at my new article Attachment theory and give it your touch - don't know if it is something you know about.

Also, as I happened to look at your contribs I saw you had done some work on brain imaging. I've been wondering recently about why it is that we routinely X-ray people for internal physical problems but rarely brain scan people with behavioural difficulties or mental illness. Am I right in assuming it's largely a matter of cost?

As a sufferer of mental illness (clinical depression and with a bipolar family member) it would almost be a relief to me to be able to see something on a picture and go "there, that's why I'm different". Of course, I realise little is understood - but that would improve if imaging of ill people were widespread.

Would appreciate any insights you might have. --[[User:Bodnotbod| bodnotbod »  .....TALK Q uietly  )  ]] 13:48, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)

Reply to Hi
A reply to your hi. Having come across this site only a week ago I am very enthused as to its ability to distill human knowledge and make that accessible to the world, essentially for free (not counting ISP access fees). Your contributions have been superb, as indeed have so many others. While not having the academic background to add much to the psychiatric pages I might from time to time make suggestions as I have done already. I am sure as I get a feel for the site I will become more active. CloudSurfer 20:24, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Research
I am afraid that my only access to academic articles is on the net. I have not been able to find any more recent symptom lists. I should check with the hospital where I am working as to whether they have an academic access but as I am in a small developing country, I rather doubt it. They are currently in the process of installing servers and computers which most here are unused to using. --CloudSurfer 06:51, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Gene Ray, Schizophrenia
Uhm, his web page admits he was diagnosed with schizophrenia by a psychiatrist. I think the entry should be restored.

Psychiatry
Dear Vaughn, thanks for your note. Having had a bit of a look at the categories of psychiatry and psychology after I did a major recategorization of clinical illnesses I have realised just how much is in their area and how little in ours. (I keep assuming your a psychiatrist too.) Taking a psychiatric textbook approach I have felt we need to start from the basics, hence this morning's Mental status examination entry. Maybe we should create a list of article titles and we can go for it. I like the rarer stuff, like the Ganser syndrome article that was prompted by seeing a patient with this in the local prison, but I do think we need to do the basics and get them right. Which is not to say I think the MSE article is "right". I have put in a basic skeleton that will do for the moment but it needs more work on both the article and the various aspects linked to within it. It's all a good refresher course for me. --CloudSurfer 05:35, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Good to know your profession. I like working in a multidisciplinary team. After beavering away at the change in categories I think I upset one of the people looking after the psychology category who went through redoing their categories. It would be nice if we could work together on this project to achieve a sort of mini psych textbook. I think that would also help those who currently take a rather oppositional approach to find that we don't have three heads and aren't out to harm them. I can already see some of this mollification occurring with some contributors. Still my bias is to add to the clinical psychiatric area since this is my field. Tonight I am working on Psychiatric history which I hope to have ready for upload later tonight. Is there an article on Overvalued idea? If not there should be. Just a suggestion. [Grin] --CloudSurfer 08:50, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Folie a Deux Why no chemical warfare?
Why have you established a boundary on the method of producing the phenomena? User talk: Kazuba 28 July 2005

Yeah I'm disappointed too
I'll do some digging at the U.S. Army Chemical Corp and see what I can get. Sometimes I get lucky. Give me some time. As Arnold, the governator, said, "I'll be back". Thanks for being kind enough to share. I'm sorry I called you a swell head. It is just that I keep getting the same response. "Well, I couldn't find the data, so I am going to delete it". (I have had to almost give a reference for each individual sentence). I have always hoped for the response, "Wow, this is really interesting. Tell me more. Let's see what I can dig up too! Here, I'll help you write it." Only once. Even then, the data had to be watered down because it was so unfamiliar, it may not be understood in the proper manner by the layman. Sometimes it it is difficult to put yourself in a child reader's place. As you can see I am a very curious person. It has always ( well, maybe not always but, a lot of the time, I've got to watch those cognitive distortions) gotten me in trouble. Thanks again. User talk: Kazuba 29 July 2005 Damn!

The cigarette story is weak
"When two individuals are both delirious they may play off each other's imaginings. A subject was once to mumble,"Gotta cigarette?" and when his companion held out an invisible pack, he followed with,"S'okay, don't wanna take your last one." Incapacitng Agents, James s. Ketchum M.D.; and FrederickR. Sidell, M.D. That's not good enough for me. There has been a verbal suggestion. No interrogation. Color of pack? Brand name? No controls. Do they really see the same thing? Doesn't any one wonder? You win some, you loose some. Thought you might find this amusing. As far as I have explored it, with invisible imaginary playmates, no one as ever asked," Do they really see the same thing?" Why not? Expecting more information. User talk:Kazuba

Designer Drug 2C-B
"One of the phenomena of 2C-B is that of shared hallucinations, where a group of users in a room together witness the same bizarre sights, sort of like people free-asociating with clouds in the sky: One person sees a dog chasing a mail man, the everyone else sees the cloud the same way, unable to see it any other way". Same problemo. Most likely a verbal suggestion has been heard and it captures the imagination of others. This is not what I am looking for. Still, it is interesting.

Prosopagnosia Edit
Hi, Vaughan ! Thanks for the comment on your latest edit on the Prosopagnosia article. I agree that more substantial evidence would be useful, and I'm quite content to leave out the point about prosopagnosia perhaps being proportionately more common in gay men until we can support the statement with something more than an article in "Out" magazine ( at least, I think that's where I saw it ). I do feel, though, that you were being a bit cheeky by marking your edit as "minor" - deleting a substantive sentence is never minor, even if the deletion is perfectly reasonable. Anyway, let's see if we can get some more evidence... One thing that would be very interesting is to see if Baron-Cohen has anything to say on the matter. WMMartin 17:49, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Please check your images
I noticed that you have some images in the category Category:Images with unknown source. Due to the vast number of images in this category (12000+), and the fact that, lacking a source, they present considerable copyright uncertanty, Jimbo has stated, and added to the Criteria for Speedy Deletion, "Images in category "Images with unknown source" or "Images with unknown copyright status" which have been in the category for more than 7 days, regardless of when uploaded." This means the images can, and will, be deleted with no notice. To see a list of all the images you've uploaded(at least, under this username), review the upload log.

Psychology Wiki
Hi Vaughan,

I noticed that you are a interested in Psychology, and thought you might be interested in this project which I am involved in, The Psychology Wiki.

I won't say too much, as I'd like you to judge it for yourself, but you should find that it is different from Wikipedia, because approximately 90% of our contributors so far are psychologists, academics, or students and trainees.

Its hosted by a company called Wikia, which was founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. There are Google Ads on the site, but we dont make money from the project, they're just to pay for the bandwidth, storage and technical support that Wikia give us.

Folie s deux
This is not what I am hearing else where. This is not what I know from personal experiences of my self and the frightened testimony of my wife. "Since I have been sleeping alone I no longer see those terrible things standing at the foot of the bed. What did they look like, babe?" (Of course I already knew.) This is not what I know from my psychiatrist, therapist, and medical doctor. If it is not folie a deux then what is this phenomena of shared visual hallucinations in a psychotic state? (You better not say demons, etc.) Why can't this be chemically induced? The ingestion of substances can result in the experience of disturbing emotional changes and behavior? You know these things can be shared by drug free family members, etc. Again if it is not folie a deux what is it? I have not come across any material that describes this as a "mimic" of a psychological disorder from the authors in the NATO military manual or Ronald K. Siegel. Explain. You have had "hands on" experience with this stuff? Or is it just outside your field of encounter? There is no possibility, since when? Possibilites and early reports are outside the scope of encyclopedias (and the wikipedia)? Not the ones I've read. What would you write rather than completely delete? Please reply.User:Kazuba 25 Aug 06

So you are saying when induced by drugs the phenomena "mimics" folie a deux? (Though I find this nowhere else.) That's good, except aren't natural chemicals in the body associated with the creation of Folie a deux? Aren't the drugs used (risperdal, etc.)to treat shared psychotic disorder also made of chemicals? Are you a psychiatrist? Please give me more information. User:Kazuba 25 Aug 06

Here is my argument. One the classic results of smoking marijuana, hashish and LSD is the temporary creation of paranoia. This is how I see folie a deux. It is the result of being psychotic (or possibly only anxious). Becoming temporarily psychotic (or anxious) was the result of the substance BZ. While our poor volunteers are psychotic (or anxious) they begin to have invividual delusions. One of these delusions, of which there seem to have been many, is the creation of visual hallucinations. It would seem if there is a close proximity, or maybe a close bond between our volunteers, one of them can become dominate and share his delusions, by emotional contagion, in the form of visual hallucinations, or other ways, with his companions. They may see what the dominate one sees, in some cases exactly, folie a deux. Hasn't BZ caused folie a deux?

Though I have only read short articles about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in World War 2, and only heard the brief interviews with the survivors. It looks lke this phenomena began to occur with some of them. They began to share delusions, even to the point of seeing a rescue ship that was not there and swimming toward it. Wouldn't this be folie a deux? Possibly without even becoming psychotic, but by creating the hallucinations out of anxiety. They are not mentally ill. It is the result of circumstance, and emotional contagion. Aren't shared visual hallucinations between two people always called folie a deux? Aren't we looking at emotional contagion carrying these delusions, or folie a deux? Ooops! You never answered the question. Have you had "hands on" experience with folie a deux? Yes or no? I take it none with claims of shared visual hallucinations. I think people just don't talk about visual hallucinations, because others will think they are weird. Unless they think these are ghosts, the Virgin Mary or such. User:Kazuba 26 Aug 06 Please reply

Anorexia article
I would like to change the status of anorexia as being the most deadly psychiatric disorder back to being disputed, since, regardless of evidence shown in an article, it is still disputed.

Hi Vaughan, though I'm flattered you think the article is ready for FA, I'm not sure it is. I've been working on it since August, and was hoping to nominate in a month or so. There is ALOT of work left to be done before I would be happy with taking it to that stage. I really don't want to cause offence, but I've requested withdrawl on the FAC page. Thanks + Ceoil 20:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding reversions to Schizophrenia
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Glen 11:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi there, many thanks for your concern. As you can see from the talk page and the archived talk pages of the schizophrenia article, the person whose edits I keep reverting persistently edits the article with their own point of view despite numerous reviews which have concluded that the relevant material is balanced and verifiable. Their actions are now at the point of vandalism. This has been reported but so far nothing has been done. I am fully aware of the three revert rule, and have complied with this in the past. All that has meant is that material from the article remains blanked while months pass until the issue is temporarily resolved. Then the user returns to do the same. Myself and the other editors of the article are now reverting this vandalism, which is in line with Wikipedia policy and exempt from the 'three revert rule'. Please read the numerous discussions and reviews on the talk page for further details. [Also posted to your discussion page] - Vaughan 12:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Schizophrenia article vandalism by User:Mihai cartoaje
I have started a Rfc on his conduct and need another signature on the filing for it to be reviewed. You can see it at I filed an Rfc regarding Mihai cartoaje's conduct and need another signature.

Rivers
Thank you! I'm glad you like the article; it's nice to know that I might be writing something worthy of him! I'm sorry I haven't updated it that much recently- the problem is that I'm in the process of collecting information and documentation to write a biography of him which I hope to have published. If I post everything on here then there will be no point publishing and he certainly deserves to have a better (and more personal) biography than the one by Slobodin. Unfortunately, this means that many of the things I have collected together- including family photos and the like- will not be seen until I get around to finishing the book, something I fear I may not be qualified to do, being a 19 year old English student (we're not known for our scientific genius, even at Oxford!) I hope you'll excuse my lamentations here and thank you again for the encouragement! P.S. there have been suggestions that Rivers might have been bipolar; what are your thoughts? (If you need more information to work on then I would be happy to send you some) --Pudupudu (talk) 15:45, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Henry Head
I've just spent the day writing Head's page and I seem to have encountered a few problems that I wonder if you could help me with. 1) I haven't the faintest idea how to reference and am technically challenged in the extreme 2) I don't think it's right for wiki, it seems too 'personal', somehow (which is hardly surprising since I'm somewhat on the obsessed side when it comes to him and Rivers... not that anyone could guess). What do you think? 3) It's 4:49 am and I've been living off an average of 4 hours sleep per night and was exhausted earlier- why am I wide awake?! (that was a note to myself really, don't feel the need to reply to it :-P ) I'm sorry about the delay in sending you the Rivers stuff, I've been over at wikisource sticking his articles up. Anyway, sorry about the essay. Kayleigh --Pudupudu (talk) 03:54, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to message again. I *think* I have sorted point one (except for the fact I don't know how to do footnotes yet) but this was at the cost of number three (oh well, who needs sleep?) I'm still unsure about number two so if you could take a look that would be wonderful. I also have some rather good pictures of Head and Ruth but I have no idea if I'm allowed to use them (grr) --Pudupudu (talk) 08:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I really do wish that things on here were allowed to have a little warmth to them, it makes biographies seem so impersonal to write them like textbooks and one would hope that if you're writing an article on someone then you actually care a little about them (but that's probably just me being 'protopathic'; I certainly can't do things by halves). Ah yes, 'to sleep: perchance to dream'. I think the 'rub' in my case comes from the fact I've just moved rooms for the vac and this one's much lighter than my other so it'll take a bit of adjusting to. I will get some sleep tonight as I have work tomorrow: I seem to have a very confused identity at the moment as I'm working as a research assistant for a Fellow writing a biography on P.G Wodehouse by day and then coming back and writing about scientists. Anyway, excuse my random rambling (if you're feeling kind you can put it down to sleep deprivation). Kayleigh--Pudupudu (talk) 20:22, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Neurocognitive

The article Neurocognitive has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Neurocognitive is an adjective, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. An alternative to deletion would be to move the article to neurocognitive deficit.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Lova Falk    talk   15:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Vaughan, I think this article was relevant when you created it, but by now the term neurocognitive is really a term for Wiktionary. Friendly regards,  Lova Falk     talk   15:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Stop feeding, start investigating and analyzing.
Hello Mister Vaughan; I am a 24 years old male in Argentina. My name is Flavio Alejandro Capellini; I've been suffering from the "Thought Disorder" since I was 14 years old; my question is: what is worse?: having two "voices" inside your mind; thinking one thing twice at the time someone like you takes once; thinking two different things at the same time; been systematically discriminated by all of psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, etc. that make you think that "thinking more than normal people" is a bad thing; been internalized into mental-illness clinics where they don't try to analyze you, but, because you are thinking twice your answer or two rational answers, you cannot speak "properly" or in a "distractive way", hence they tag you as a mentally ill person and try to literally "take the 'second' thought out of you" with pharmacologist medicaments or "alternative ways" and leave you as a "normal" or "average" person. Or been someone that says that having a double thought is a clear symptom of Psychosis and tells everyone, proudly of been another one who is in the way of leaving all human kind as “normal” or “average” people, sending this people to mental-illness clinics where they don't try to analyze you, but, because you are thinking twice your answer or two rational answers, you cannot speak "properly" or in a "distractive way", hence they tag you as a mentally ill person and try to literally "take the 'second' thought out of you" with pharmacologist medicaments or "alternative ways"; like you Mister Vaughan?. “Don’t doubt, think twice instead” is my new creed. This is not an illness, been unable of speech properly is as bad as been unable of speech, unable to see, unable to learn, unable to understand, unable to see what is behind the “unavailability to speech” of another person and therefore tag him/her as a psychotic person; am I wrong mister Vaughan?. I am forced to learn from you, an “Energy = Mass * (light speed * light speed)” star award, memorial of the human kind's biggest weapon of destruction; psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist and/or whatever you are Mister Vaughan. I’m sorry my Blog “MindHards” was not old or popular enough to compete with the “MindHacks” blog where you are so famous. I’ll wait impatiently your answer Mister Vaughan.

Lionel Curtis

Lionel George Curtis CH (1872–1955) was a British internationalist and author. He was the inspiration for the foundation of Chatham House (The Royal Institute of International Affairs) as well as the US Council On Foreign Relations at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. He was a leading member of Round Table movement. His writings and influence caused the evolution of the former British nations into the Commonwealth.

Early life
Curtis was born in 1872 at The Outwoods, Derby, his mother's family home, and later moved to Coddington, Herefordshire, the youngest of the four children of George James Curtis, Anglican rector of the parish, and his wife Frances Carr, daughter of the Rev. John Edmund Carr. He was educated at Haileybury College and then at New College, Oxford, where he read law. He fought in the Second Boer War with the City Imperial Volunteers.

Milner's Kindergarten
Curtis served as secretary to Lord Milner (a position that had also been held by adventure-novelist John Buchan), during which time he dedicated himself to working for a united self-governing South Africa. He with a group of bright young men there, who would later make their mark in international roles, were called Milner's Kindergarten. Following Milner's death in 1925, Curtis became the second leader of Milner's Kindergarten until his own death in 1955.

The Round Table
Curtis was an original founding member with Lord Milner of the Round Table Movement.

Curtis was also a founder (1910) the international quarterly The Round Table.

Oxford University
He was appointed (1912) Beit lecturer in colonial history at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of All Souls College.

Chatham House and The Council on Foreign Relations
In 1919 Curtis made a proposal to the British and American delegates attending the Paris Peace Conference at a meeting on 30 May 1919 at the Hotel Majestic. Curtis addressed the meeting and strongly believed that the conference had illustrated the pressing need for the formation of an informed international research body for expert analysis of foreign affairs that could have advised on the matters the delegates had had before them and had been required to decide upon. Curtis's proposal to the meeting was that an Anglo-American "Institute of International Affairs" should be founded with offices in Britain and the US and this was warmly accepted by the British and United States delegates.

However in the end it actually resulted in the formation of two sister organisations with the foundation of a British Institute, later the Royal Institute of International Affairs regularly now known as Chatham House, on 5 July 1920 in London and the Council on Foreign Relations in New York one year later on July 29, 1921.

In a revealing letter written 1932, Whitney Shepardson, a US delegate at the Peace Conference, a participant at the meeting at the Hotel Majestic and a founding member of the US Council on Foreign Relations wrote to Ivison Macadam at Chatham House about Curtis," ' He's like the Hound of Heaven. Or Jacob wrestling the angel. There was some talk at Council [on Foreign Relations] Directors' meeting today about Chatham House and its resources. Craveth said that Chatham House had been lucky in having one or two 'angels' to give it money. I said, 'Yes, but what's more important they had a Jacob in the shape of Lionel Curtis to wrestle with these angels saying 'I will not let thee go until thou bless me!''" Curtis remained a driving force within Chatham House and in international movements and conferences around the world until very late in his life but preferred to give credit to others.

The Commonwealth
Curtis was largely the creator of the idea of Commonwealth as former British territories would transition into self governing nations (originally the British Commonwealth and now expanded as the Commonwealth of Nations)

Other initiatives
Curtis had earlier advocated British Empire Federalism and, late in life, a world state.

His experience led him to conceptualise his early version of a Federal World Government.

His ideas concerning dyarchy were important in the development of the Government of India Act 1919.

He was involved in 1921-1922 the creation of The Irish Free State Treaty.

Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize and made Companion of Honour
In 1947, Curtis was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; in 1949, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour, on the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Chatham House.

Works
Curtis' most important works were:
 * The Problem of the Commonwealth (London: Macmillan, 1915);
 * The Commonwealth of Nations (1916);
 * Dyarchy (1920); and,
 * Civitas Dei: The Commonwealth of God (1938), arguing that the United States must rejoin the British commonwealth and that the Commonwealth must evolve into a world government.
