TLDR
The aim was to get a detailed description of professional user responses to using the system for assessing patients for psychotherapy as a preliminary to a clinical trial.Abstract:
Despite the increased availability of psychotherapy within the NHS, inequalities remain (Holmes & Lindley, 1989). Traditionally, psychotherapy ser vices have been provided from teaching centres in cities and patients have had to travel for treatment. This may account in part for the middle-class predo minance in psychotherapy patients and Holmes ( 1991) has identified the need for psychotherapists to reach out and cater for the disadvantaged in large housing estates and rural areas. While services are changing to meet such needs (Pedder, 1989)there are powerful economic restrictions on service expansion. The potential for communications technology such as interactive television to aid the delivery of general psychiatric services has been reviewed by McLaren et al (1992) and similar arguments apply to the delivery of psychotherapy. This study was performed as part of a project to use a new communications technology, computer based interactive television, to aid the delivery of psychiatric services including psychotherapy. The aim was to get a detailed description of professional user responses to using the system for assessing patients for psychotherapy as a preliminary to a clinical trial.read more

Telepsychiatry at Forty: What Have We Learned?
TL;DR: Although the conclusions of all studies reviewed recommend the use of telepsychiatry, evidence currently available is insufficient to suggest its widespread implementation and it is recommended that telePsychiatry be employed on a limited basis and be restricted to research settings and underserved communities.

An Evaluation of the Use of Interactive Television in an Acute Psychiatric Service
TL;DR: The LCVC proved technically reliable and compatible with the performance of a wide range of clinical tasks, however, the results suggest the need for better understanding of the nature and origins of the attitudes that users bring to the use of such communications technology.

Psychotherapy 2000. Some predictions for the coming decade.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is prediction as discussed by the authors, and it is bound to be proved wrong. But psychotherapists are familiar with uncertainty and indeed perhaps actively cultivate it in order to work more creatively, and the development of chaos theory has now made vagueness a respectable topic for scientific inquiry.
