ABOUT THE WEBSITE CREATOR, Jessica Jablonski, Psy.D.
I
received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from
Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, and currently teach as an
Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware in the Department of
Human Development & Family Studies. I created this website in
1998 to list the many sources that
helped me to learn all that I needed to know about graduate study in
psychology, and I continually add more resources. I hope it helps you
in your academic journey.
Disclaimer: The links and resources
on this website are provided in good faith, and I cannot attest to
their absolute accuracy. It is recommended that you seek answers from
many sources and come to your own conclusions.
