Review

An extremely valuable resource -- Choice

Anyone who wants to find useful sites on the Internet could benefit from this book -- American Reference Books Annual

I used the Guide and its rating system to research my own interest areas and was able to find extensive, useful information.. The Guide provides valuable search tips, suggestions and practical steps to get started in each area -- The Master's Advocate newsletter

Wow. The words "invaluable resource" and "must read" are bandied about quite a bit in book reviews. But this time we mean it!...For anyone interested in roaming the vast plains of mental health information on the Internet, you could not ask for a better compass -- Professional Counselor

This review is from: The Insider's Guide to Mental Health Resources Online, 2000/2001 Edition (Paperback)

The 2000/2001 edition of this invaulable guide explains and evaluates the range of search tools, newsgroups and database available online: while it may prove outdated in a year or to, The Insider's Guide to Mental Health Resources Online will receive intense use by any student of mental health studies who uses the computer to search for information. The Insider's Guide to Mental Health Resources Online is more than a listing service: descriptions of each make it easy to locate just the right site.

1.0 out of 5 stars only for the very computer illiterate, October 25, 2007

This review is from: The Insider's Guide to Mental Health Resources Online, Revised Edition (The Clinician's Toolbox) (Paperback)

Very dissapointing text. Really only for the extremely computer illiterate. If you can operate a search engine and chat with colleagues about available resources this book will not help you at all. It includes the very basics about how to find psych websites, list serves, etc. If you know nothing about finding info on the internet you may want to pick this up. Other than that do not waste your time and money
