The potential uses of the Internet to behavioural and cognitive
psychotherapists and researchers are manifold. This article summarizes what
the Internet is, how to connect to it, searching the Web, on-line
publishing, discussion forums, chat-rooms, literature searching, transfer
of documents and creating a web-site. It considers the potential of Internet
technology in therapy and enhancing patient/therapist contact. A web page
containing links to many of the sites referred to in this article as well as
additional links and resources is accessible through the BABCP website
