Net Psy:
For Mental Health Professionals of All Disciplines
NetPsy is a forum for the discussion of the psychological and psychotherapeutic
services delivered via all aspects of the Internet. It is not intended
to be a replacement for psychotherapy or private consultation. Individuals
needing professional advice are redirected to professionals in their local
geographic area, to meet with them face - to - face and examine their problem
with the proper attention it deserves. Net Psy is intended to serve as
a loose "sounding board" for professionals to discuss issues not yet shown
effective by research. It is not intended to offer direct advice to any
individual. Non-professionals are only invited to participate with the
above understanding.
