Psychiatry and the Internet

Abstract

We have another guest fot this issue’s column. Robert Hsiung, M.D., is Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University of Chicago, and with his “Dr. Bob” Web sites, among others, has established himself as one of the leading psychiatrists active on the Internet and the World Wide Web. Many, if not most of us, have taken advantage of the resources he has created online, and know of his presentations at American Psychiatric Association annual meetings and other forums. We asked Dr. Hsiung three questions about psychiatry and the Internet. His thoughtful responses follow. We hope you enjoy this Q&A.—Thomas Kramer, M.D., and Robert Kennedy, M.A.
