What Is AllPsych and What Can Visitors Find on the Site?

Updated

AllPsych is a psychology information website aimed at students and the general public, offering three main resource areas: a large library of psychology articles, free online textbook materials, and a paid continuing-education section called AllPsych Pro. It is most useful if you want readable overviews of psychology topics, course-style materials for introductory subjects, or APA-approved continuing education credits as a mental health professional. Some parts of the site require you to log in or register, and the Pro courses are a separate paid offering rather than part of the free article library.

Psychology articles

The site's largest section is its article library, which it describes as containing 750+ articles on how psychology applies to everyday life. Articles are organized by topic tags rather than a single linear course, so you can browse by subject area.

Topics visible across the site include:

  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Positive Psychology
  • Performance Psychology
  • Health Psychology
  • Media Psychology & Technology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • History of psychology (for example, Freud and Maslow)

Recent examples from the site's latest-articles list show the range:

Article Date Topic tags
A Crisis of Meaning: Why Burnout Is About More Than Just Overwork May 9, 2025 Behavioral Psychology, Burnout, Clinical Psychology, Meaning, Performance Psychology, Positive Psychology, Well-Being
Think Big: Why Broad New Year's Resolutions Are the Key to Lasting Change December 27, 2024 Behavioral Psychology, Performance Psychology, Positive Psychology

Twelve Things that Sigmund Freud Got Right July 17, 2023 Freud, Defense Mechanisms, Ego, Id, Superego, History

There is also a dedicated Media Psychology and Technology focus area that groups articles on topics like telehealth and the intersection of psychology with technology. If you want to see everything, the site provides a "Browse All Articles" link and an article archive.

Online textbooks and course materials

Beyond standalone articles, AllPsych hosts online textbook-style materials intended as course content. The subjects listed are:

  • General Psychology
  • Personality Theory
  • Research Methods
  • Statistics
  • Psychopathology

These are structured as course materials rather than one-off articles, which makes them a better fit if you are working through a subject systematically — for example, preparing for an introductory psychology class or reviewing statistics and research methods. The site describes itself as a "virtual psych classroom," and this section is the clearest expression of that.

AllPsych Pro: continuing education

AllPsych Pro is the site's continuing-education arm for psychologists and mental health professionals. Key facts stated on the site:

  • It has been APA approved since 2017.
  • AllPsych is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.
  • AllPsych states it maintains responsibility for the program and its content.

Example Pro courses referenced on the site include:

  • APA Guidelines for Clinical Supervision (2 credits)
  • Positive Psychology Interventions: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Online Study

If you are a licensed psychologist or mental health professional who needs APA-approved CE credits, this is the section to check. Note that Pro is a distinct, paid area of the site — the pricing signals point to dedicated course and Pro pages rather than the free article library, so treat the CE courses as a separate purchase from the free content.

Practical notes before you use the site

  • Account required for some features. The site shows a "Login or Register" option, and members are offered a free copy of a "Positive Self-Care Starter" download. Expect to create an account for member-only items.
  • Free vs. paid. The articles and online textbook materials are presented as the open content areas; AllPsych Pro is the professional CE offering. The site does not state that Pro courses are free, so plan for a paid enrollment if you need credits.
  • Best fit by user type:
    • Students and general readers → articles and online textbooks
    • Instructors looking for course-style material → online textbooks
    • Licensed professionals needing CE credits → AllPsych Pro

If your goal is quick, readable psychology content, start with the article library and its topic tags. If your goal is structured study, go to the online textbooks. If your goal is professional credit, go directly to AllPsych Pro.
