First ISMHO member ever expelled from the organization

By John M Grohol PsyD
December 5, 2005

Because of a member’s unprofessional behavior and activities, the International Society for Mental Health Online (ISMHO) recently took the unprecedented action of terminating that person’s membership in the Society. In its 8-year history, I’m not aware of the organization ever having done this before.

I’m saddened by this because I pity the professional. I hope he finds help for his issues soon, and eventually finds closure. His actions and rants toward multiple organizations and other professionals speak for themselves.

Dr. John Grohol is the CEO and founder of Psych Central. He has been writing about online behavior, mental health and psychology issues, and the intersection of technology and psychology since 1992.
