  Comparing online vs face-to-face psychology, what do you think online psychology would be like?

  and dekrazee1 - particularly people who need help if they travel a lot for work or live in the country with nowhere else to go.  Did you know psychs in the country areas are almost always completely booked out?

  Would you see a psychologist online? Why and when would you choose this over face-to-face therapy?

  Matt, your points are really insightful. I agree with your points but I reckon that people are getting better at communicating emotion online.
  It's becoming a normal part of social interaction. Research that i have read suggests that even chat can be sufficient to get the point across. Many psychologists use Skype thesedays, with considerable success. Even with Chat only! No video.

  I have no idea about dealing with escape though? That's an interesting challenge, maybe it wouldn't work for some conditions.

  And finally, perhaps we can use online visual aids like video or images? They'd have to be pre-prepared and tested for effectiveness though.
