This literature review discusses the potential positive and negative effects of using cyber-counseling and online communication as a medium for psychological assistance and counseling. Some of the positives highlighted include increased accessibility for clients, allowing anonymity which encourages disclosure, and the ability to have written records of sessions. However, issues like a lack of non-verbal cues, confidentiality risks, and reliance on functional technology are also examined. The review recommends further research on effectiveness and how to properly structure online counseling to address ethical challenges while taking advantage of the opportunities it provides.
The document discusses counseling via the web, also known as online counseling. It defines online counseling as using technology like phones or computers to allow counselors and clients to communicate at a distance. Some key benefits of online counseling include flexibility, accessibility for those in remote areas or with disabilities, and clients feeling more comfortable disclosing details anonymously online. However, drawbacks include a lack of non-verbal cues, difficulties in crisis response and diagnosing, and potential security issues. The document outlines counselor responsibilities like discussing limitations, verifying qualifications and client identity, and ensuring online counseling is appropriate.
Online counseling has grown since the 1970s when hospitals first linked via video. It allows access to experts worldwide more cost effectively. Methods include phone, text, video and email, each with benefits and drawbacks. Ethics and legal considerations include verifying identity, assessment, treatment issues and HIPAA compliance. Building an online practice requires choosing a virtual office model and features, determining costs, and marketing through SEO, design, and finding a niche.

Use Of Computer Technology In CounselingLittlemark23
Computers are now an integral part of counseling. They are used for business and administrative tasks like record keeping, documentation, scheduling and billing. Psychological assessments can also be administered via computer which provides quick analysis and feedback. Computers provide resources for clients like online job searches and educational websites. Some drawbacks include confidentiality breaches if files are accessed without authorization or computers crash losing files. Online counseling allows accessibility for remote clients but lacks personal touch and carries higher risks of breaching confidentiality. Overall the disadvantages of reducing personal contact and increased confidentiality risks outweigh the benefits for most clients.
This document discusses internet counseling and its types, advantages, and disadvantages. Some key advantages of internet counseling are anonymity, accessibility, and convenience. However, there are also disadvantages like confidentiality issues and a lack of face-to-face interaction. To address these disadvantages, the document recommends using encrypted software, webcams, microphones, and screening clients to help ensure confidentiality and allow for some visual and audio interaction without being in-person. It also stresses the importance of counselors being properly certified.
This document discusses the future of primary care in the UK. It notes increasing pressures on general practice from a rising and aging population with more complex needs.

Communication in organization assignment of o.bAli Shah
Communication plays a vital role in organizational behavior. Effective communication that is accurate and supportive can increase morale and productivity, while miscommunication has negative effects. Clear and consistent communication encourages productive workplace behavior. Maintaining accurate records of an organization's activities and equipping stakeholders to communicate its mission and values are also important aspects of communication in organizational behavior. However, communication can be negatively impacted by barriers such as unclear or inaccurate messages, inappropriate channels, and lack of understanding between parties. Improving communication requires addressing issues with senders, receivers, messages, media, organizational structures, and technologies.
Effective communication is important for organizations to learn new skills, become more responsive to customers, and improve products and services. Communication involves transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver through a medium. It is a two-way process that includes feedback to ensure understanding. Choosing an appropriate communication medium depends on factors like information richness, need for documentation, and whether feedback is required. Managers must develop strong communication skills as both senders and receivers of information to be effective leaders.
PTSD is a growing concern for Veterans and their families. About 1 in 5 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans has PTSD or depression. This creates an ongoing need for clear, easy-to-use PTSD information and support. The VA is interested in improving their PTSD website to better meet the needs of their target audiences, particularly Veterans who have PTSD or are concerned they may have it.
To inform an upcoming redesign, the National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) worked with [Company] to conduct extensive formative and usability research with Veterans with PTSD, their family and friends, and clinicians who treat PTSD.
In this session, we’ll talk about our research process from beginning to end, highlighting the voices of Veterans and their families. We’ll share lessons learned and address the knowledge gained from our human-centered design process.

Counseling technology can be used in several ways:
1) For student education programs through tools like PowerPoint, videos, and websites for in-class and online tutorials, college tours, and scholarships.
2) For student accountability by tracking at-risk students, goals, and computer usage.
3) For counselor organization with software to manage records, schedules, data and tasks given the large amount of information.
This document provides an overview of effective communication in the workplace. It discusses how to structure messages concisely and grab attention. Effective communication requires selecting the appropriate medium based on the message, sender, receiver, and goals. Barriers to communication include ineffective medium selection and human psychology factors like emotions. Overall, the document emphasizes tailoring the communication approach based on audience and purpose in order to achieve successful understanding.
This document discusses managing communication in organizations. It covers the two-way communication process, barriers to effective communication, and different types of communication like downward, upward, lateral and electronic. It also discusses the importance of both formal and informal communication networks in organizations, specifically addressing organizational grapevines and how to manage rumors.
1) Timing service user involvement activities is crucial to get right - done too early risks reawakening difficult memories or clients being in crisis, too late risks clients wanting to move on or having little recall. A staged approach tailored to individual needs works best. Involvement should be voluntary with appropriate support.
2) Getting people engaged in involvement processes is challenging, with low survey response rates. Greater success was found with phone or in-person surveys. Peer-led recruitment and a variety of engagement methods are important to involve different groups.
3) There is a risk of tokenism if involvement does not result in meaningful change. True involvement brings together users, practitioners and managers to identify shared solutions. Feedback about
Communication is a two-way process of transmitting ideas, plans, commands, and reports within an organization. It can be formal, occurring through official authorized channels in written form, or informal through impromptu discussions. There are various methods of communication including verbal, non-verbal, and electronic forms like email and video conferencing. Barriers to effective communication include filtering of information, selective perception, language differences, and cultural barriers between organizations with different contexts and interpretations.
The document discusses communication in libraries. It notes that communication is carried out through both verbal and non-verbal channels and is vital for efficiency. The library needs communication between staff and clients to achieve its goals of serving users. There are two levels of communication in libraries - staff communication and client/staff communication. Effective communication is important as it allows for the exchange of information between individuals and throughout the organization.

Advantages and disadvantages of different channels of communicationShivani Rana
This document discusses communication channels in organizations. It defines communication channels as the ways that information flows within an organization, including downward from managers to employees, upward from employees to managers, and horizontally between employees. It describes different formal and informal channels like meetings, emails, rumors. Each channel has advantages, like saving time or building relationships, and disadvantages, like potential misunderstandings or spreading misinformation. The document concludes that while conflict can arise through communication, channels influence its success, as each has strengths and weaknesses for different messaging needs.
This document discusses principles for practicing clinical care using behavioral tele-health (BTH). It addresses establishing rapport, assessing client needs, using apps and video conferencing, and addressing technical difficulties online. Developing rapport is especially important for BTH, though it is limited without nonverbal cues. Active listening and descriptive speech can help engage clients. Cultural considerations include comfort with technology and online privacy.
The document discusses using distance learning technology to provide child abuse prevention training to professionals.

Online resources for treatment of eating disordersJulia Glassman
This document discusses online resources for the treatment of eating disorders. It begins by outlining some key statistics about eating disorders, including their high mortality rate and low treatment rates. It then discusses how treatment resistance is common, due to factors like shame, stigma, and cost concerns. The document proposes that online counseling can help address some of these barriers through features like anonymity, accessibility, and lower costs. It examines different online counseling modalities and treatments, like CBT and support groups. It also discusses ethical considerations, the need for specialized online counseling training, and challenges like the lack of nonverbal cues. Finally, it acknowledges the role of pro-eating disorder websites and potential for online resources to both help and harm those with eating disorders
Online therapy is an effective treatment modality that is increasingly being used. It allows greater access to care for those who cannot travel or afford in-person treatment. Research shows that clients benefit from online therapy and form strong therapeutic relationships with therapists. Outcomes for disorders like depression and anxiety have been found to be comparable to in-person treatment. While online therapy is effective, therapists must take steps to ensure they are following ethical guidelines, obtain informed consent, and address any technological barriers for clients. As the use of teletherapy and online services continues to rise, further research is still needed.
The Importance Of Communication And Effective...Jessica Lopez
Effective communication is built on clear, concise information delivered in a way that cannot be misinterpreted. It requires both the sender and receiver to understand the same message. As technology advances, good communication skills are increasingly important. The document discusses the importance of communication and effective communication skills in management. It will analyze the communication cycle, 5 C's of communication, and selecting the proper tone, language, and formality. Verbal and written skills will be assessed.
The document discusses patient-centric care and technologies. It notes that patient-centric care involves providing care that respects individual patient needs and values. While technologies like patient portals and EHRs can support this, both patients and healthcare workers may resist them.
The classmate's post agrees that patient-centric technologies can help improve chronic disease management and quality of life, but notes that both patients and providers often resist change. It argues that educating patients on benefits like direct access to their care team can reduce resistance. The classmate shares positive experiences using their pediatrician's patient portal as a busy mom but does not use their own doctor's portal.
Internet counseling allows licensed therapists to provide counseling services to clients remotely through online means such as email, videoconferencing, and chat rooms. Some key advantages are anonymity and increased convenience without needing to travel to an office, which can benefit those with disabilities, time constraints, or phobias. However, therapists have a limited view of clients' expressions and body language online. Ethical considerations of internet counseling include ensuring client confidentiality, verifying client and therapist identities and credentials, addressing technological limitations, and maintaining professional accountability. While some research shows internet counseling can be effective, more studies are still needed, especially in comparing its efficacy to traditional face-to-face counseling.

This document discusses ways to reduce pressures on general practice and free up clinicians' time for patient care. It outlines 10 high impact actions for practices to implement, including providing online patient portals, using phone and email consultations where appropriate, maximizing appointment slots by reducing missed appointments through reminders and easier cancellation policies, and introducing reception care navigation and group consultations for long-term conditions. The overall goal is to shift the model of care away from a focus on acute problems and toward better management of patients with multiple long-term conditions.
Communication is an exchange between two or more individuals through various channels and media. It is essential for the functioning of organizations both internally and externally. Effective communication involves transmission of messages from a sender to receiver as well as feedback. Barriers like noise, filters, information overload and differing frames of reference can distort communication. Organizations rely on various forms of communication including downward, upward, horizontal and diagonal to share information and get feedback across levels. Maintaining clear, concise and considerate communication through multiple channels with understanding and feedback can help overcome barriers.
Communication in organization assignment of o.bAli Shah
Communication plays a vital role in organizational behavior. Effective communication that is accurate and supportive can increase morale and productivity, while miscommunication reduces productivity and increases errors. Maintaining clear, consistent communication encourages productive workplace behavior and customer satisfaction. There are various methods of communication, both verbal like oral communication and written like emails, as well as nonverbal cues from body language that impact organizational communication. However, communication can be influenced by barriers like improperly designed reporting structures, unclear performance standards, and misinterpreted messages, so organizations must find ways to improve communication flows and overcome barriers.

The medical interview is the physician's most important diagnostic and therapeutic tool, but is difficult to master. It provides valuable patient information, yet receives little training focus. Effective communication skills like rapport building and active listening are especially important for EMTs and other pre-hospital providers to obtain information from patients. Models like partnership, shared decision making, and AIDET promote patient-centered care through open communication. Developing strong patient-doctor relationships requires commitment to caring communication skills.
Videocounseling offers benefits over traditional in-person counseling by removing barriers like cost, travel requirements, and intimidation factors. While it risks reduced empathy and connection compared to in-person sessions, patients tend to feel more in control. Initial setup costs are high but it reduces costs of travel and accessibility issues. Videocounseling can also be used for clinical supervision and training to enhance therapy quality. Key issues include ensuring privacy, legality at large scale, and protecting patient rights.

2. Introduction The past decade has brought with it the advent of a communication medium that had never before existed. Increasing with it, the extent those individuals across the globe can communicate constantly, consistently, and effectively no matter the time or distance. This infant medium of communication has changed the face of many facets of everyday life and occupations, as “1.4 billion people use the Internet worldwide (International Telecommunications Union, 2007). In the United States, “more than half the population (54%) uses the Internet, with an average increase of 2 million users each month” (Haberstroh, S., et al, 2008, Journal of Counseling and Development). This being the case, we have seen transitions within most all occupations in advertising, facilitating work-loads, communication within the business or organization, and in keeping and maintaining clients. The globe, in effect, has shrunk to a manageable size and we are now able to work even more closely within this medium with specialists across the all over the world. This transition in communication has not missed the science of psychology. The programs that have developed to assist clinicians and clients alike, researchers, and program developers in becoming more effective in their given fields are extensive and utilized consistently.
3. Introduction Continued We now have e-mail, forums, video conferencing, instant messaging, and chat sessions that are available through the advent of the Internet and its many components. There also exist the social networking groups in which the professionals within the field of psychology can exchange information increasing potential initiatives that have the ability to advance the field and assist its professionals in being effective. Within this medium there are many advantages; however with these advantages come new potentially negative consequences and ethical issues that have to be addressed. This literature review will discuss the positive aspects that come with utilizing this communication medium as well as the issues that can be potentially negative within this framework. How effective is the use of this communication medium and how do we address the issues that this form of communication presents while ensuring that psychologists and professionals in this field are able to maintain integrity and be effective?
4. Positive Effects of this Communication Medium Distance has always been a potential issue for individuals in need of psychological assistance. There are often times issues with scheduling appointments and especially with transportation in reaching a face to face meeting with a clinician or counselor. Due to this hindrance, many people do not feel they have an option to seeking assistance and instead use this as an excuse for neglecting their need for help. With the technological advances in communication and especially via the internet, individuals are able to schedule meetings i.e. video conferences or chat sessions with a clinician and do not have to leave the comfort of their home. Within this cyber-counseling medium “client concerns and issues are dealt with immediately, instead of waiting for a scheduled appointment, which is one of the most serious problems in providing face-to-face counseling.” (Maples, M.F. & Han, S., 2008, Journal for Counselingand Development). The excuse of lack of time or the ability to get to a meeting with a counselor has been undermined substantially with the advances that technology has provided for communication across the globe. Waiting for an appointment also increases the risk that the individual in need of assistance will choose to avoid seeking help and choose other means of handling their situation; often negative means such as self-medicating with drugs and alcohol.
5. Positive Effects Continued Communicating via the Internet allows “a degree of anonymity that encourages clients to be more forthright with their issues.” (Haberstroh, S. et al, 2008, Journal of Counseling and Development). In a plethora of situations, people feel more comfortable communicating with others, especially when the subject is themselves and of a sensitive nature, via a non-confrontational medium. Writing a letter or even communicating over the phone allows the individual the ability to feel that they are not being dissected, unlike a face to face meeting which can quickly become uncomfortable. Clinicians spend a lot of time, especially in the beginning of a client/clinician relationship, establishing rapport and trust with a client. This rapport building is important, however utilizing Internet or e-mail mediums for communication decreases the time needed to establish this trust, and thus the issues can be addressed more expediently. Also, self-disclosure is more extensive within this form of communication because “in cyber counseling, clients usually do not see the counselor face-to-face, thus improving communication by making the clients feel less defensive and vulnerable. (Maples, M.F. & Han, S., 2008, Journal for Counseling and Psychological Development).This medium reminds you of confession within the Catholic faith, where an individual is in a box talking to a priest who can only hear their voice, thus they are able to unload all that is on their minds without feeling put on the spot or feeling any additional guilt.
6. Positive Effects Continued . By allowing for a more extensive self-disclosure, this medium allows the clinician to get to the heart of the issue at hand in a shorter period of time and in effect assist an individual in making positive changes as expediently as possible. This can be especially important for individuals who are facing issues that can cause serious bodily harm if they stay in the situation they are currently in. Another positive effect of utilizing this mode of communication is the ability to track conversations with the client. Especially through e-mail, a clinician has the ability to note the progress of the sessions and keep the sessions moving along, instead of dealing with potential regression that can be difficult to control in a face to face environment. The messages that have been sent and received are saved and can be located and recalled with minimal effort. This not only allows a clinician to keep track of what the client has shared but allows the clinician “to contemplate their responses without the interpersonal pressure that is typical in face-to-face settings (Haberstroh, S. et al., 2008, Journal of Counseling and Development). The ability to think through responses allows the clinician to share information and give advice that they possibly would have not thought of if they were in a face to face situation. This can give the clinician an ability to give more positive input and viable techniques needed in order to assist their client.
7. Potential Negative Effects of this Communication Medium There are often times deficiencies within the clinician’s ability to have the know-how or technical abilities needed to assist their clients via Internet. Knowing and being proficient in all the technological advances that are available to themselves and their clients allows the clinician to be even more effective, however there are many who lack these skills and these deficiencies only undermine the clinician’s ability to have a positive effect. There are many ways that lack of technical knowledge within this medium that can be detrimental to a client/clinician relationship, “for example, one needs to have proficient typing skill, speed, and accuracy; be familiar with various computer and Internet technologies, particularly those related to data security and clinical record confidentiality; and be able to understand and use emoticons or a host of expressions created to facilitate text-based communication in the online world. (Maples, M.F. & Han, S., 2008, Journal for Counseling and Development). Just as in typical interpersonal communication, it is necessary for the clinician to have a working knowledge of web based communication methods to facilitate understanding of where their client is coming from, where they are at present, and what needs to be said or done to assist them.
8. Negative Effects Continued Another potential negative effect of utilizing cyber-counseling in assisting clients is the lack of non-verbal cues that are presented in this medium of communication. In a face to face meeting, which has been the standard until recently, “the counselor usually uses nonverbal cues from clients to interpret what they maybe feeling or thinking, thereby helping clients to become aware of their own feelings and thoughts. The absence of verbal and nonverbal cues in cyber counseling makes miscommunication between counselor and clients more common. (Maples, M.F. & Han, S., 2008, Journal for Counseling and Development). When you have these potential misunderstandings it can be difficult to move beyond them, and can even cause a break in the relationship. Non-verbal cues are extremely important in most communication mediums, and even on the phone you have tome of voice to assist you in assessing a client’s emotions. Thus, via the Internet clinicians have to take a clients word for what they say is going on, and it becomes increasingly difficult to make a thorough and accurate assessment of the clients mind frame and needs.
9. Negative Effects Continued Technology is not always a hundred percent reliable and glitches, power outages, website malfunction, and the like, can cause problems within this medium of communication. Thus, there is a need to communicate these potential problems with the client prior to beginning the sessions and agree on a form of re-establishing communication when these situations arise. If this fail safe is not discussed prior to beginning any type of therapy or counseling, technical difficulties can potentially cause additional negative assumptions that can be detrimental to the client/clinician relationship. For example, “if the cause of the interruption is on the psychotherapist’s end, such an experience is likely to be confusing and upsetting to the client, and could even cause damage to the therapeutic relationship. In addition, when the interruption is on the client’s end, it could be difficult for the psychotherapist to judge whether the client is disconnecting due to technology failure, because he or she is upset about something the clinician said, or because he or she is in some kind of crisis (Rummell, Christina & Joyce, Nicholas, 2010, Ethics and Behavior). Outside this mode of communication there is no need to worry about these unsubstantiated assumptions because there will be few interruptions for which the cause is unknown to one party or the other.
10. Ethical Issues that Arise Within This Medium of Communication One of the main ethical issues with using this form of communication in counseling is the potential risk for clients and clinicians alike to false represent themselves. In other words, a client can be who they want to be, or present false information about themselves or their environment and thus their situation. This also applies to the clinician, as research on this issue has shown that there are situations where “evidence indicated that a slight majority (36%) of persons claiming to provide Web counseling had no credentials or formal training in professional counseling. According to the survey, other professionals delivering online counseling were either counselors with a master’s degree (31%) or doctoral level psychologists (29%) (Haberstroh, S., et al., 2008, Journal for Counseling and Development). There is potential for not only the client, but the clinician to use false information to induce counseling sessions, and there is a need to set up a safe guard for this infringement on both the client and clinicians behalf.
11. Ethical Issues Continued Client confidentiality can be another issue if the clinician and the client themselves is not excessively careful in guarding the information exchanged during sessions. There is always a potential risk for accidental breech in confidential information between client and clinician, however using a web based service to facilitate counseling sessions can increase the number of potential eyes that can come across the information. There are in fact ways to limit these potential threats, for example “password protection, data encryption, use of secure socket layer encryption for Internet traffic between psychotherapist and client computers, and use of a firewall. However, even these methods cannot protect against certain mishaps, such as accidental interception, e-mail snooping, unauthorized e-mail access, and so on (Rummell, Christina & Joyce, Nicholas, 2010, Ethics and Behavior). It is imperative that the client is aware that they are just as responsible for the protection of these private transactions as the counselor. This being the case, there is a need to develop a specific informed consent form for the client, explaining “the novelty of Internet counseling, the unknowns, limits to confidentiality, technology issues, and so on, are all important for potential clients to understand before treatment (Rumell, Christina & Joyce, Nicholas, 2010, Ethics and Behavior).
12. Recommendations for Utilizing This Medium of Communication It is evident that the world has become smaller with the advent of computers, the internet, and now cyber-chat systems such as web-cams. With the correct technology, you can be almost anywhere in the world and have a positive effect on an individual and their life. However, with this ability come great responsibility and a completely new framework with regards to the structure in which this medium is used to guide and mentor. There needs to be significant research done on the effectiveness of this means counseling, and where the line is drawn in regards to severity of the situation being discussed, basically when does a face-to-face intervention need to be implemented instead of continuing with the “faceless” counselor. There also needs to be significant research and reframing done on the client/clinician agreement with regards to confidentiality and expectations. I believe with the proper research and restructuring this medium can be used efficiently and effectively in the world of psychology.
