| Dr.
Fink was involved from the beginning. She
saw it happening - people were different in the
new millennium electronic environment. Inhibitions
melted away, aggression surfaced more frequently
and promiscuity permeated cyberspace. Television
trance was widespread and copycat behavior from
the silver screen had become common. A new psychology
was emerging from peoples' experiences in virtual
worlds, affecting how we relate to one another
both on and off-line.
In the early days, few people believed that we
were changing. Way back in the eighties, computers
and the internet were not part of daily life.
But Dr. Fink knew it was inevitable. She coined
a new term to describe what was happening:
psychotechnology. Psychotechnology is about
how our computers and the internet, our cell phones,
pagers, DVDs, satellite TV, and high tech media
affect who we are, how we think about ourselves,
how we communicate with one another, and the very
nature of our culture. The first psychotechnology
website was posted online back in the mid-nineties.
It has been revised and updated ever since, and
now incorporated into this site - a living record
of how we're adapting to our new world.
As a family therapist, Dr. Fink
has addressed these changes directly in clinical
practice as well as through her professional
books, articles
and appearances
throughout the country. As a popular author, she
speaks intimately with her readers, through
fiction
and nonfiction
books, web content, public appearances, and articles.
She is an international expert in this new age
of human behavior and development.
