John M. Grohol, Psy.D. is a psychologist and patient
advocate
who has been a leading pioneer of online mental health. While
he has been involved in online services as early as 1981, he
began on the Internet in 1991 by disseminating information on
numerous mental health topics. Dr. Grohol quickly realized that
it was difficult to find pertinent and relevant mental health
information online, and so began compiling listings of newsgroup,
mailing list, and World Wide Web resources (coining the term
"pointers" since they pointed to relevant and useful information
online). Contributing to Usenet newsgroups, he soon became
the moderator of two newsgroups he founded,
sci.psychology.research and
sci.psychology.announce.
Dr. Grohol has also founded over two dozen additional
newsgroups devoted to psychology and
self-help support topics online.
In 1995, Dr. Grohol founded the Grohol Mental
Health Page to further disseminate his
Pointers, which are still updated on a weekly basis. In September,
1995, he began working for CMHC Systems, a small mental
health software developer, and released the largest mental
health Web resource to date, Mental
Health Net. Online, he is professionally involved
in many mailing lists and newsgroup forums, is an Associate
Editor of Behavior OnLine and an Assistant Editor
for the InterPsych Newsletter. He has also contributed mental
health insights to various books about online psychology and
resources, including The Emperor's Virtual Clothes by Dinty
Moore and Dr. Tom Linden's Guide to Online Medicine by
Tom Linden. Dr. Grohol's future immediate plans include the
startup of a new, general online mental health journal and
expanding the professional resources and conversations
currently available through MHN and Behavior OnLine. He is
also proud to be the co-chairperson for this year's Connected
Computer symposium hosted by the Cape Cod Insititute.

Jonathan Schull, Ph.D. watched the internet revolution unfold on his
desk at Haverford College where he was a tenured associate professor of
Biological Psychology from 1980 to 1993. When he realized that his
academic interest in the intelligence of evolving systems (minds, nervous
systems, gene pools, social communication networks, etc.) was no longer
academic, he left academia to explore the new marketplace of ideas. One
thing lead to another. He founded SoftLock Services, whose patent-pending
technologies for the distribution and sale of digital intellectual
property have now been adopted by the world's largest publisher as well
as a number of the world's smallest software entrepreneurs. And when it
became clear that SoftLock's clients would benefit from virtual
bookstores and a virtual city with a real economy, SoftLock Services
teamed up with AnyWare Associates to create Downtown Anywhere, the
Internet's first Virtual City, now listed as one of the Web's 20
"Must-see" sites, in Ventana Media's (1995) Walking the World Wide Web.
Current projects include SofLock's Secure Password Vending Site in
Downtown Anywhere, the integration of SoftLock technology with Adobe
Acrobat and other web- savvy browsers, the creation of a web-based
ancillary to Gleitman's Introductory Psychology, WWNorton's
best-selling
psychology textbook, the development of Behavior OnLine, the Web
gathering place for mental health and applied behavioral science
professionals and a hypermedia work in progress called Stairway to an
Ecology of Mind.
