Like the old and musty, traditional encyclopedias on your bookshelf, this web site aims to be a useful educational tool, but unlike those books, it is not bound by the shackles of print and paper pages. Instead, this site uses the power of the Internet to burst beyond the bounds of a traditional encyclopedia and define a whole new term: E-PSYCHOLOPEDIA. Take advantage of the redefinition, use the resources of this site -- for free -- and learn about the wonderful world of psychology.

The things we deal with in practical life are usually too complicated to be represented by neat, compact expressions. Especially when it comes to understanding minds, we still know so little that we can't be sure our ideas about psychology are even aimed in the right directions. In any case, one must not mistake defining things for knowing what they are. -- Marvin Minsky, The Society of Mind, 1985
These, then, are my last words to you: Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create that fact. -- William James
