Describe how computer technology has influenced psychotherapy
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?The rapid development of computer technology, smartphones, and the Internet has started to influence psychotherapy in the form of behavioral intervention technologies (BITs) (Kazdin & Blase, 2011; Schueller, Munoz, & Mohr, 2013; C. B. Taylor & Luce, 2003). Computer-based programs can now be used to administer personality assessments such as the MMPI-2. Smartphones can be used to collect data from clients on their thoughts, behaviors, and mood, allowing clinicians and people in general to become more aware of their behavior across many situations. Videoconferencing and Skype can provide a link to therapists for clients who live too far away for face-to-face meetings.
