Telepsychology, Telehealth, & Internet-Based Therapy
I gathered the following resources to help therapists, counselors, and other clinicians to keep abreast of the rapidly evolving professional guidelines, research, treatments, innovations, and practices in the areas of telepsychology, telehealth, internet-based therapy.
I've divided the resources into 3 sections:
1) Links to 20 sets of professional guidelines that focus on telepsychology, online counseling, internet-based therapy, etc.
2) Citations for 58 recent (i.e., published in 2017-2020) articles
3) State Psychology Board Telepsychology Laws, Regulations, Policies, & Opinions—This third section was generously compiled by psychologist Kenneth R. Drude, and I am indebted to him for his kind offer to post it here.
