In this video episode I show you 10 of what I consider to be the best psychology apps in the app store. There are a lot of apps out there and many are not so good, but in this episode I pick out what I consider to be credible therapy apps, excellent mobile mind mapping tools, relaxation apps, games based on Gestalt principles of psychology, and some of the best 3 dimensional ways to look at the brain.

Just when I had convinced myself that I did not want an ipad! I do fine without the iphone but I like the size of this toy/tool. Your review of psychology apps was the selling point but….can the ipad content be projected for use in teaching?
Pat: yes, teachers can connect a cable to the bottom of the device which is then connected to a projector. Sorry to have created some conflict in your about the iPad, but you gotta admit – it’s pretty darn cool device and people are building some really compelling apps for it. Glad you liked the episode!
Thanks for a great demonstration of a lot of interesting apps!
I like your style of presentation as well, it really helps that you have some charisma!
Thanks John. Yea – this was a fun episode. I felt that it was time for a more relaxed episode after the Rosenhan one. Glad you liked it!
