John C. Norcross, PhD, is Professor of Psychology and Distinguished University Fellow at the University of Scranton, and coauthor of Leaving It at the Office and Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Health. Michael A. Sayette, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Psychiatry at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Tracy J. Mayne, PhD, conducts research in cancer-supportive therapies in Global Health Economics at Amgen, Inc. Dr. Mayne and Dr. Sayette first developed the Insider’s Guide after comparing notes on their own graduate school admission process -- and brainstorming about the kind of information and guidance they wished they had had.
