Web Site Development

Listed below are several web sites which I've developed or assisted in developing and/or maintaining. Please click here for more information on psychology and the internet.

Teaching Web Site (www.louis-hoffman-virtualclassroom.com)

This web site was originally developed to provide resources for students in classes I was teaching. Over time, this it has evolved to become a web site with a variety of resources for psychology students and professionals. It includes may pages of content specific links, bibliographies, and psychology movie suggestions. Additionally, it includes a large section on writing resources for psychology students and professionals.

Existential Therapy Web Site (www.existential-therapy.com)

I've specialized in existential integrative approaches to therapy for many years now. This approach to therapy is greatly misunderstood. Additionally, interest in existential approaches has been decreasing over the past several years. Despite this, I've consistently found great interest when teaching courses on existential therapy. This site was developed in order to help promote existential therapy and clarify information about the theory and practice of existential psychotherapy.

Depth Psychotherapy Network (www.depth-psychotherapy-network.com)

This web site is a collaborate development. In recent times, many of the depth psychotherapies came under attack by some rather uninformed therapists and individuals in the general public. Additionally, the choice to choose the therapy which best fit the values and needs of the client was being taken out of the hands of consumers and therapists. This web site was developed to educate consumers, students, and professionals about the various depth psychotherapies, including Jungian, Psychodynamic, Existential, Humanistic, and Transpersonal, among others. The past couple of years, especially 2005, have demonstrated an increased openness to multiple perspectives, including depth psychotherapy. However, this web site still serves an important purpose in educating people about the various depth psychotherapy practices.

Postmodern Psychology (www.postmodernpsychology.com)

Psychology was one of the last disciplines in academia to move in the direction of postmodernism. Despite this, postmodernism has been influencing Western culture and psychological practice for some time. This, too, is a very misunderstood theory. This web site was developed to provide a critical analysis of the positive and negative aspects of postmodernism and its influence on psychological practice.

Healing Spiritual Wounds (www.spirituallywounded.com)

This site was developed to provide information on spiritual wounds and how to work through the pain associated with them.

The Center for Growth (www.center4growth.com)
