Online therapies and the person-centered approach

Abstract

This special issue came about in reponse to the coronavirus pandemic and the rapid shift (in April and May 2020) of psychotherapy, counseling, and other psychological therapies from face-to-face in person to face-to-face online. In May 2020, Keith wrote to David, enquiring as to whether there were any plans for a special issue of I PCEP i on this subject;David said that there were none, but asked if Keith would be interested in proposing one;the rest, as they say, is history! The third article, by Kate Dunn and John Wilson, invites us to take a step back to consider online therapy as a form of therapy "at a distance" which has a number of historical antecedents (including letter writing and telephone counseling/therapy).
