AI Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how adults feel about therapy sessions done over video calls in Denmark.
- Many people thought these video sessions were helpful for preventing relapses, especially since they already knew their therapist.
- However, some felt it was less personal and preferred talking face-to-face for deeper therapy, but still found video calls useful if traveling was a problem.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore adult outpatients' experiences with home-based psychotherapy via videoconferencing in a Danish mental health service. Participants found videoconferencing-based psychotherapy for preventive relapse sessions very useful, and they believed that it was possible to maintain a good therapeutic relationship via videoconferencing when they knew their therapist in advance. However, experiences with more in-depth psychotherapy are more unclear as some felt alienated and preferred other ways to communicate. In general, participants found videoconferencing-based psychotherapy to be less personal but worth considering when travel hassles outweigh the need for meeting in person.
