Great timing with your question, alexandrak
I just got this in an email. Your uni library may have the access to this. I may also have via my library. Here is excerpt:
The *Harvard Mental Health Letter* has issued the following news release about an article in their new issue:
"Benefits Found in Long-Distance Psychotherapy"
It may seem like a basic necessity of any treatment that the patient and the doctor be in the same room -- especially in the case of the very personal process of psychotherapy. But as the January issue of the Harvard
Mental Health Letter reports, studies are showing that psychotherapy can be effective even when the doctor is ³seeing² the patient through phone calls or video.May not be that bad afterall?
