Mission of the PsychIN Directory™

Relevant to Mental Health Professionals: The PsychIN Directory™ is a free site that helps mental health professionals find relevant, high-quality information quickly for free or low cost when possible. A well-crafted outline, helpful annotations, and members' contributions support this mission.

Primary Objectives and Features

1) Help clinical and other mental health professionals stay up-to-date. The directory helps visitors save time and focus their effort by collecting materials that best support this mission into a News and Timely Reading Zones area that links visitors to free online material of broad relevance to mental health. To make scanning for information even more efficient, this area divides into General and Clinical primary areas, and into more focused Topical areas. Visitors save time and money through access to mostly free information, quality screening, and large collections. They also save time because The PsychIN Directory™ has selected relevant subtopics from news resources that have many other, less useful topics to sift through.

2) Provide mental health professionals with convenient links to good, relevent reference, search and research tools. The Special Purpose Resources area includes this subject. Annotation, organization, screening, and pointers to other useful areas of The PsychIN Directory™ support this mission, as do additional links to search areas of major sites, journals, and collections. The sections in this area divide into topical areas as well as covering more general resources.
