In reply to E-Mail and Therapists--Has anyone ever, posted by Sarahmarie on May 13, 2002, at 21:34:01

Well, from what I know about therapy, time is an important issue (as in: our time is up). It serves to set boundaries and put some distance between the therapist and the client. Without distance, there cannot be objectivity - that's why we go to therapists and not to our mothers, for example. It seems to me that e-mail would be too easy. They usually give you a phone # in case of emergency, to reachthem, a colleague or a hospital, in case of dire need until the next appointment. If I were a therapist, I don't think I'd go the e-mail route. Some people could easily abuse it and write all the time for no good reason.
Any other insights?
