New skills for remote psychotherapy

What is it about?

Shifting between in-person and remote setting has strong impact on the patient-therapist interplay, forcing therapists to develop new and advanced therapeutic skills. These skills include the therapist’s sensitivity to both participants’ ways of balancing the needs of togetherness and of autonomy, ongoing negotiation of different aspects of setting alternations, as well as developing a new repertoire of teleinterventions. Psychotherapy training and supervision need to encompass challenges of teletherapy.
