MINI BIO - I'm 40something, happily
married to Debra Finnegan-Suler (also a clinical psychologist) and father
to two daughters, Asia and Kira. My interests include writing, eastern
philosophy, exercise, martial arts, piano, and the internet.
ACADEMIC STUFF - I received my bachelors
degree in psychology from the State University of New York at Stony
Brook in 1977 and my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the State
University of New York at Buffalo in 1982. After leaving sunny (I wish)
Buffalo, I did a year internship in the Department of Psychiatry at
the Hospital of the University of Connecticut. Here at Rider I teach
the following courses:
- Abnormal Psychology
- Theories
of Psychotherapy
- Psychological
Tests
- Group
Dynamics
- States
of Consciousness
- Psychology
of Religion
I also frequently sponsor Independent
Study projects with students. My other professional activities include
the practice of psychotherapy, web publishing, research on mental imagery
and creativity, the psychology of cyberspace, and the relationship of
eastern philosophy to western psychology.
WEB SITES - Over the past few years
I have become intensely involved in the internet. I'm fascinated by
cyberspace on two levels: how individuals and groups behave there, and
the internet as a new medium for scholarly discourse and communication.
I have created and continue to expand three comprehensive web sites:
Teaching Clinical
Psychology
(a large collection of resources for teaching the above courses)
The
Psychology of Cyberspace
(a hypertext book on how individuals and groups behave on the internet)
Zen
Stories to Tell Your Neighbors
(an award winning site!)
Here are some links that will jump you to various pages of interest
within my web sites:

ETCETERA - As if all of the above wasn't
enough to keep me busy, I'm also consulting editor for Behavior
Online, a member of the editorial board of CyberPsychology
and Behavior, an executive member of the International
Society for Mental Health Online, editor of The Contemporary Media
Forum for The Journal of Applied Psychoanalysis, consulting editor for
The Journal of Virtual Environments,
staff writer for Cybertowers Self-Help
and Psychology Magazine, and host for the Life Online conference in
Howard Rheingold's Brainstorm's Community.
My work has been reported by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal,
the BBC, the Chicago Sun Times, CNN, MSNBC, US News and World Report,
NBC Nightly News, the APA Monitor, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
