✦ Synopsis

I have a psych background and was interested in creating an online support group for MS'ers. I don't know why, but I thought this book could have translated a bit better than it did in the online realm. Be prepared for a very academic approach. I'll admit, I did not delve too far into the book and only skimmed it. I returned the book to Amazon when I realized it would not really fit my needs. It was also quite pricey. I wish someone would author a book that deals with online communities and support groups -- this population is certainly growing!
