Online therapy is a fertile mix of the comfortable and uncomfortable. You can have a session in your pyjamas, and never look your therapist in the eye. There’s nothing wrong with comfortable…or is there?

It’s been a year now since we last put out a call to expand our ‘Ask the Psychologist’ faculty, and it’s time again: if you’re a clinical psychologist, you like to write, and you’d like to reach an audience of millions while while helping one reader at a time, we’d like to hear from you.

With the completion of a big project last Friday, several of our psychological self-tests and quizzes are now available as Facebook apps. But here’s our big gamble: can a privacy-respecting quiz app that doesn’t advertise itself by plastering your results all over the place actually be successful?

There’s definitely a connection — but it’s not what you might be thinking. You’ll have to try out the latest additions to our psychological quizzes to be sure.

Is your social networking experience missing something? Here’s how to make something more of it with an extra helping of three ingredients.

What do misbehaving toddlers, out-of-control rock stars, and sleazy online vendors all have in common? They’re all depending on the same psychological principle to keep themselves in the limelight.

On behalf of all of us at CounsellingResource.com, I’d like to extend the warmest welcome to our two newest members of the team: Ask the Psychologist contributors Dr Susan Berel and Dr Jim Bierman.
