Mobile technology for psychologists: February 2011

Disclaimer: This list was first created in December of 2010. It was later published on this blog at the beginning of 2011. You may share this list with others and provide a link to this blog. It's a work in progress (and probably always will be). We list apps that appear promising, but please do not assume that the apps we list are "good or appropriate" apps. A big part of what we do here is review apps, but as you can imagine, it's a time consuming process. We do not get financial compensation for our work. We are full time psychologists who review apps in our spare time. We see the potiential of mobile technologies and mobile health and use apps in our respective practice. At the moment, our work is meant to be an up to date reference on available apps that a psychologist can use in his or her practice. Please visit it our blog frequently or subscribe to our email distribution list to get new updates. This is a not-for-profit initiative.
