Online Counseling: A Need for Discovery
Mallen, Michael J.; Vogel, David L.
Counseling Psychologist, v33 n6 p910-921 2005
The rejoinder responds to the four reactions by Jeffrey Barnett, Tai Chang, Delida Sanchez-Page, and Franz Caspar and Thomas Berger in the November 2005 issue of The Counseling Psychologist. In doing so, the authors emphasize the important need for further clarity regarding the effectiveness of online mental and behavioral health services in delivering a wide range of psychoeducation, self-help, and mutual-help facilities as well as direct counseling. The authors also highlight many of the reactants' important insights, including the comments on the appropriateness of online mental and behavioral health services for the underserved and whether online counseling should be used as a primary or secondary tool in counseling.
