In reply to Professional Therapy on Internet?, posted by Dasypodidae on November 24, 2000, at 10:16:28
Personally, I do not believe in Internet therapy. I think the whole concept of the psychotherapy should be founded on face-to-face contact. Nonverbal communication and psychodynamics are essential to effective therapy. Internet does not provide the setting (that secure therapist room) nor the visual exchange that are the vital components of any therapy work. A therapist of 30+ years once told me that her professional is as much an art as a science. I totally agree.
Bottom-line: "Professional therapy" on Internet is a mock of the very profession that it addresses.
My advice to you, Dasypodidae, do not waste your money and energy on this.
