John R. Suler

John Suler Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, is internationally recognized as a founder of the field of cyberpsychology. His groundbreaking work "The Psychology of Cyberspace", one of the first and most widely cited online hypertext books, led to his seminal overview of the new discipline: "Psychology of the Digital Age: Humans Become Electric" (Cambridge University Press, 2016).

An expert in emerging fields of psychology, he has also published widely on the integration of eastern philosophy and psychoanalysis. His collected works on that subject can be found in the book "Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Eastern Thought" (State University of New York Press), a tour de force showcasing Suler's talent for dazzling integrative thinking combined with an experience-near writing style. The novel MADMAN follows from this work, combining the imagination of Vonnegut, the coming-of-age storytelling of JD Salinger, and the penchant for sidebar essays reminiscent of Robert Pirsig.

Suler's popular websites include Zen Stories to Tell Your Neighbors and his open-access guide Teaching Clinical Psychology. Most recently, his lifelong passion for photography and the role of images in identity expression has led him to pioneer another field, Photographic Psychology - the study of how we create, share, and react to images.

John Suler's work has been translated into a dozen languages and reported widely by national and international media, including the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, and The Chronicle of Higher Education. The author currently lives with his wife and a cat named Frida in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, while conducting triangle travel to the Appalachian mountains near Asheville and the Southern California coast.
