Editorial Reviews

Review

"John M. Grohol, part Johnny Appleseed, part Magellan, is known to all of us already online as the guide par excellence to, and often the creator of, the best mental health resources on the Internet. We will value his book for the insight it offers into Dr. Grohol's mental map of this uncharted domain. For those not yet 'connected,' the book is the next best thing to being there. It explains what all the excitement is about, and provides a step-by-step initiation to this new medium which is transforming the way we all live and work." --Gilbert Levin, PhD, Founder/Director, Cape Cod Institute

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guide explains and evaluates the range of search tools, newsgroups and database available online: while it may prove outdated in a year or to, The Insider's Guide to Mental Health Resources Online will receive intense use by any student of mental health studies who uses the computer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
