Summary
Working online and by phone can be useful in certain circumstances. However, it is important to be mindful that psychodynamic therapy online or by phone requires a shift in frame, boundaries, and setting. In order for the therapy to remain helpful and containing, both therapist and patient should be clear on the new framework and be able to review and consider in-person sessions if needed. This chapter uses clinical examples to illustrate some of these differences and how they might offer opportunities and also challenges. In addition, it includes discussion on technical and practical issues to consider if embarking on psychodynamic therapy online or by phone.
