Its thirteen chapters, written by leading scholars, provide "a broad overview of what research agenda and approaches this new century calls for across many of psychology’s subdisciplines." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=87907 From the web site:״The National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) is aToronto-based, non-profit organization, established in 1985 to provide information and resources on eating disorders and weight preoccupation. NEDIC began as a result of the concerted efforts of a group of health-care providers. Based on a national needs-assessment undertaken in 1983 by the Health League of Canada, a proposal was made for initial funding of an information centre which would focus on eating disorders and socio-cultural factors influencing the health-related behaviour of women. The resource is a comprehensive collection of resources to assist individuals with eating disorders. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=304925 This site offers a collection of self-tests pertaining to career, health, IQ, personality, and relationships. It is hosted by Psychology Today magazine. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83117 A vast collection of information on various aspects of psychology, including online texts and articles. It is described by its developers as "..one of the largest and most comprehensive psychology websites on the Internet. Inside the site you'll find over over 920 individual, cross referenced, web pages and an estimated 3000 pages of printed material. AllPsych is referenced by over 100 colleges and universities in ten countries and receives an average of 3,000 unique visitors and 10,000 page views every day." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=691576 Educational Psychology Interactive provides a directory of links, resources, readings and videos to enhance one's understanding of educational psychology. As a directory resource, the site organizes and classifies a variety of resources using themes and key-word searches. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80088 Very comprehensive collection of links to online resources on nonverbal behavior: papers and abstracts, books, researchers, labs, etc. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=356764 This is a nicely composed site that offers good in class examples of general psychology content. Overall the presentation of the material is straight forward in an easy to use format designed for teachers. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88727 The main purpose is two fold. It helps a person choose a therapist, and gives general information about medications and other resources. In order to help a person find a counselor, the web site has a form that you can fill out that simply asks what your postal code is and what your area of concern is (example: 14601, anxiety). It doesn't get any easier than that to find a list of therapists in your area who handle the issue you present. It has two more areas that are interactive. There are chat groups for whatever ails you, and a survey you can fill out to determine if you have a problem with some kind of disorder. The only problem with the survey is that you don't get a clear diagnosis. That bring me to another point about this website. They don't believe in online therapy. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79563 "A common-sense approach to some common questions and concerns about the practice of clinical psychology."
