John Suler, Ph.D.

Dr. John Suler received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Currently he is Professor of Psychology at Rider University (in New Jersey) and a practicing psychologist in Pennsylvania. His past research and journal publications have focused on a variety of topics related to psychoanalytic theory and therapy, including mental imagery, creativity, and the relationship of Eastern philosophy to western psychology. His book Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Eastern Thought was published by the State University of New York Press.

Over the past several years he has become intensely active on the Internet, with a special interest in online publishing and the application of psychological principles to understanding behavior in cyberspace. He created and continues to develop three online hypertext books (i.e., web sites). The Psychology of Cyberspace explores how individuals and groups behave on the internet, with one large subsection of this site focussing on the multimedia chat community known as The Palace. Teaching Clinical Psychology is a large collection of exercises, projects, syllabi, essays, and other resources for teaching courses related to psychopathology, psychotherapy, psychological tests, and group dynamics. Zen Stories to Tell Your Neighbors - which has received a variety of awards - offers several dozen classic Zen stories for visitors to read and comment on.
