2.0 out of 5 stars
Not for e-therapists, October 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Use Computers and Cyberspace in the Clinical Practice of Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
This book was already somewhat dated when it was published. It is now very out of date. The author has an engaging writing style and as a philosophical reflection on the character of cyberspace it makes interesting reading (although others have done it better). However it is NOT a professional text. I should point out that the author's only other book about e-therapy is a work of fiction, a murder mystery. Dozens of my acquaintances have purchased this book thinking that they would learn from it how to do online counseling, and they have been disappointed. The author has no particular expertise as an online therapist, and the text does not reflect current research and practice in online clinical work. Clinicians interested in the practice of e-therapy will not find what they are looking for here. There is nothing of practical use in this book that is not already available for free on the web.
