This progam includes the following tests:
OVERALL DESCRIPTION Is seeing a therapist online an oxymoron? Though the idea of "seeing" a therapist online doesn't make immediate sense, e-therapy is most definitely finding its market. In 2000, more than 60,000 online therapy sessions occurred over the Internet. That doesn't include hundreds of therapists who offered clients private online chat or e-mail sessions. And the numbers grow daily. Does this mean we should leap onto the bandwagon? Just because many are doing this, is it ethical? Is it efficacious? What do we need to know in order to begin making a decision? In this program we present an overview of the mechanics, the legalities, the ethical issues, and the treatment modalities that seem to be best suited--although the data won't be in for years. LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Appreciate the range of clinical uses-and misuses-of Online Therapy. Learn how to find resources for clinicians and clients on the Web. 2. Develop awareness of the emerging theory underpinning online therapy and the requisite clinical skills; communication, sociological, and clinical theory. 3. Be able to evaluate the use of psychodynamic psychotherapy online. 4. Recognize and appreciate the serious legal and ethical issues raised by Online Therapy. Learn about offering and receiving supervision online. 5. Become familiar with the use of Rational Emotive therapy online. CURRICULUM SUMMARY Interview #1
Our first speaker, Michael Freeny, LCSW, offers a lively and humorous look at the range of clinical uses---and misuses---of the Internet. Listeners will learn how to find resources for themselves and their clients on the Web and how they can plug into this new medium. Interview #2
Is online therapy, in its own right, a form of therapy? Originally it started out as a method of delivery very of therapy--a means of communicating between two or more persons usually separated by large distances. The two interviews on this CD continue our introductory interviews. These speakers present both some of the emerging theory underpinning online therapy and the clinical skills necessary to do it. Susan Mankita, LCSW, who leads AOL's Social Work Form, presents some of the communication, sociological, and clinical theory. Kerry Sulkowicz, MD. shares his thoughts on and experience with the use of psychodynamic psychotherapy online. Interview #3 and 4
3. Kathleen Murphy, Ph.D. addresses some of the serious legal and ethical issues raised by Online Therapy -- the problems, negatives, and real concerns of sensible people about it, and we issue an appeal to our professional organizations and regulatory boards to begin developing guidelines and promoting research to address these issues. 4. Dr. Allen Siegel, MD. presents his creative and careful work on "e-supervision." Dr. Allen Siegel's began email supervision with a Psychiatrist in Germany who wished to learn about self-psychology. In the first part of this interview, he describes how they developed a method by which she submitted process recordings of her therapy sessions through email and Dr. Siegel responded to her with didactic and clinical supervision. We interviewed him again for a follow-up on how his work has been going. In addition to his work with the German psychiatrist, he describes his work with a group of psychiatrists in Turkey. This program also includes samples of the email correspondence between him and his German supervisee, containing very detailed case process recordings from the supervisee and Dr. Siegel's remarks on those interviews Interview #5 and 6
Here we present interviews with two therapists who are working exclusively, or almost exclusively with clients online. First, Barbara Adams, M.S.Ed., LPC, describes her clinical work. Then; Richard Sansbury, Ph.D. presents his clinical work, innovative use of Rational Emotive therapy online.
