Our New Computing Clinic

May 1, 1997

This new discussion area is the place to go for answers to your questions about all things technological: questions about how to post messages on the Behavior OnLine forum, advice about computers and software, how to cope with the stress engendered by adaptation to technology, in short, anything that has to do with computers and computing. Our "answer person" is Larry Rosen.

Larry Rosen, Ph.D., is a research psychologist, computer educator and is recognized internationally as an expert in the "psychology of technology." He has written many articles for professional journals, has authored over a dozen monographs, has given national and international presentations and writes a column for the bi-monthly newspaper The National Psychologist. He has been awarded numerous grants, including over $280,000 from the U.S. Department of Education for the study and treatment of technophobia. For his research, teaching and university service, Dr. Rosen was recently honored as one of the 19 Outstanding Professors in the California State University system.

With Dr. Michelle Weil, he recently co-authored The Mental Health Technology Bible (John Wiley and Sons, Spring 1997), has just completed a trade book titled TechnoStress (John Wiley and Sons, expected publication date: September 1997) Dr. Rosen is also a Principal in Byte Back, a company that assists in successful implementation of technology.

I am delighted to welcome Larry as a Consulting Editor of Behavior OnLine and I look forward to learning much from him.
