Restrictions of Present-Day Technology

Although the Internet is certainly a fast-evolving communication technology, its present-day state has certain unavoidable restrictions that can significantly interfere with trying to conduct therapy online. Some of these current restrictions include:

  • Unpredictable response delays in sending and receiving e-mail messages.


  • Risk of technology failure which could, amongst other problems, result in lost or grossly delayed messages.


  • Possible loss of the therapist’s clinical records of your case as the result of computer hardware failures.
