There has been exponential growth in use of the Internet to deliver
therapeutic and supportive human services. Online interventions are
known by a variety of names, including online practice, e-therapy
and others. All refer to the delivery of services over the Internet
through a variety of delivery systems including asynchronous email,
video and chat communication, and closed-circuit video
conferencing. They include services delivered by professionals such
as psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, counsellors and
nurses as well as self-help groups with a therapeutic purpose and
supportive services provided by trained volunteers. This book
presents the most current research on online practice. Topics
include: descriptions of innovative online practice, evaluation
studies of online practice with specific disorders, meta-analysis
of the effectiveness of online practice, education and training of
online practitioners, methods for the delivery of online practice,
organizational policy and ethical issues related to online
practice, online crisis intervention and hotline services, and
considerations for meeting legal and ethical requirements of online
practice. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Technology in Human Services.
