Online (blended) Treatment; a skill, not a trick!

The therapeutic working relationship online

Online Treatment, because you choose it or because you can no longer do without it in the future (e.g. under the influence of the organization where you work, the health insurers) or want to do without it, the working relationship is also essential for the online working effectiveness of your interventions. Online assistance, blended treatment (a combination of contact face-to-face and online) is not just a variant of face-to-face help. It requires specific additional skills from a counselor/practitioner to build a good therapeutic relationship in this context.

Written language is central here instead of the spoken word. How do you deal with that? The focus will be on forms of treatment in which there is written contact between client and practitioner. SYN
