Since the program's inception in 1993, thousands of psychologists continue to rely on CE@Home to earn continuing education credits from the comfort of home, simply through their reading of new and classic works by leading experts in their fields.

CE@Home is a program of The Institute for the Study of Human Knowledge (ISHK), an educational non-profit approved by the American Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. We offer hundreds of courses in more than 20 of psychology's cutting edge topics – both classic landmark works and important new releases – with new courses added continually. Learn more about how it works.

About ISHK

ISHK was founded in 1969 by the late author and noted psychologist Robert Ornstein to bring important research on human nature to professionals and the general public.

Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the questions of who we are, where we came from and what we might become, ISHK programs and publications highlight contributions from contemporary psychology, education, anthropology, medicine, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and ecology – as well as from traditional systems of knowledge and learning with ancient roots.

Over its 50-year history, ISHK directors and collaborators have included many leading thinkers of our time and pioneers in their fields: Doris Lessing, Jonas Salk, Robert Ornstein, Idries Shah, Rene Dubos, Paul Ehrlich, James Burke, Edward T. Hall and many others.

ISHK's publishing and educational programs have connected with thousands of professionals and the public at large, contributing to important shifts in public attitudes and policies. ISHK's Healing Brain seminars in the 1980's provided an important platform for pioneering psychologists including Hans Selye, William Dement, Philip Zimbardo, Robert Ornstein, Paul Ekman, and many others. ISHKs publications in the 1990s, both original works and reissued editions of classics, along with the Mind Body Health Newsletter, helped secure the now ubiquitous recognition of the role of mind in health.
