AllPsych
History The
roots of AllPsych go back to 1992 when Dr.
Chris Heffner, as a graduate student in psychology,
started a small website to assist with data collection
for research purposes and dissemination of academic
material. The site began to grow as
the Internet became more widely used and soon we were
getting requests for information in many different areas
of psychology and mental health. As such, new
articles and features were added to the site over the
years. In the summer of
1999 the move to redefine the mission and goals of the
website led to the beginning of AllPsych Online.
At that time the education material was revised, new
material was added, and we moved to the current location. AllPsych
has had many face lifts since 1999 and the
information provided in its pages has grown
ten-fold. Today AllPsych Online remains one of the most
comprehensive psychology websites on the Internet.
We are referenced by universities
all over the world and cited by professional
organizations and college textbooks. We are proud to offer educational
material on many topics related to psychology and will
continue to do our best to help students stay informed, up to date, and
interested in the study of psychology.

Funding
AllPsych
Online offers a plethora of free information and services to the World
Wide Web community. Like any publication, however,
the cost of business is not free. Funding for
AllPsych includes affiliate programs with Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble as well as text based banner
advertising through Google. While we avoided any type of
advertising for many years, AllPsych has become one of
the most popular psychology sites on the net and we
therefore must find unobtrusive ways to generate enough
income to pay for hosting, site maintenance, staff, and
other expenses. We
strive to maintain this site in a professional manner
and will never bombard our visitors with multiple banner
ads on a single page, pop-up banners or web pages, and
will never, ever, release the names, addresses, phone
numbers, or any other visitor/customer information to
any other party for any reason (See Online Security
below). Please make sure to also read our
disclaimer regarding online advertising using the
