Book Review
Internet Book Watch, February 2002
"Gary Stofle's book does an excellent job of clarifying what for some people may seem to be an unfamiliar idea—the possibility of counseling and psychotherapy via the Internet. In a very easy to read and concise style, he summarizes all of the essential issues.... This is an excellent book for anyone who is considering the possibility of online counseling and psychotherapy. It's also a very good introduction for the clinician who wants to understand and explore psychotherapy in cyberspace."

and author of the online book, The Psychology of Cyberspace
"This self-help guide to finding professional help on the web actually does more than the title suggests.... The author does not shy away from difficult areas and discusses the lack of evaluation of this type of therapy. He also makes some very useful suggestions about what to do if therapy goes wrong.... provides clear simple guidance for people who want to explore this form of treatment.... also makes an excellent introduction to the subject for professionals."
