"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."

Grohol [is] the guide par excellence to, and often the creator of, the best mental health resources on the Internet." -Gilbert Levin, PhD, Editor and Publisher, Behavior OnLine |
