O knihe

This timely text provides foundational knowledge and skills pertaining to ethical and
evidence-based practice for mental health providers engaging in or considering using
distance modalities to treat clients. Targeting day-to-day application, the book explains the
core functions of telemental health counseling (TMH) and its use across a broad spectrum
of mental health modalities and settings. Using the framework of the ACA divisions, ASCA,
and CACREP core areas to examine TMH, the text provides instructions to develop skills
that readers can apply directly to their own counseling interactions. Providing a wealth of
information based on empirical and impartial views, the book helps readers examine the
benefits and risks of distance counseling in various settings. It encompasses the history of
TMH, ethical codes, legal guidelines, and recent research.
Case studies and opportunities for self-reflection enable readers to envision distance
counseling in real-world contexts, ask critical questions, and form conclusions about its
utility in their practice. Of particular value is the "Voices from the Field" feature, where
practitioners from different settings describe using distance counseling. The "Challenges and
Opportunities" features discuss the pros and cons of telemental health practice. The book
is written through the lens of professional counseling which makes it an ideal companion to
counselor education program courses in counseling skills, pre-practicum, advanced theory, or
elective coursework pertaining to distance counseling and telemental health.
