The waters are divided between psicolanalistas and psychiatrists who see it as useful and non creeen in its possibilities. New therapies are made by mail, chat and Skype, which lets you talk and seen through the PC.


If you read books, watch movies and even college degree online, why not do therapy on-line? The reality is that it is done, and indeed each and more people are trying to get rid of their suffering in this way. Psychologists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts are discussed at the phenomenon that is imposed by the hand of new technologies. No agreement yet. There are those who have aggiornamiento and gladly answer e-mails, chat in the messenger and to use Skype (lets you talk and seen through the PC). There are those who support the cybertherapy only in unavoidable cases such as travel or illness. And some argue that this therapy is not serious.

"I used it when my patients went to live or study abroad. At their request, saying that with so many changes, at least wanted to keep the analyst," says analyst Sara Zusman. He explains: "I only did it because there was a previous link. In the face therapy is the look, the greetings, dress, attitude and body gestures. All this is very important, so do not recommend it if therapist and patient not known. It's like a blind date. It can be dangerous for the patient. "

Liliana Novaro, Argentina Psychoanalytic Association (APA), makes the same objection: "In an online therapy affective expression is lost. My experiences were good but they were always cases of patients known, never do a full treatment by the Internet." Diana Sahovaler also APA, it has gone in for treatment across the entire PC: "If by mail, I give my patients the same slogans, write to free association, not deleted, they do not return back in the writing . And I do the same, the focus is floating, analyze the material. The transfer is intense, as if it were a face therapy. " Harry Campos Cervera, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, also believes that the therapeutic process is the same and makes the analogy with the daily paper and electronic. "Internet saves time and shortens distances. Many patients who go abroad to continue their therapies because we recognized Argentine and fees." Together a group of specialists will open a website on-line psychology (Psiol). The psychiatrist Robert Sivak also ciberpacientes. "All cases were patients who had to go. The attending an anxiety disorder, so for them the journey itself was already a big challenge, could not cut the therapy."

It requires the repair of lies. Internet Does not the paradise of the simulation? The analysts also say that simulation is on the couch and repeat the words of Sigmund Freud himself, who valued the psychic reality. "For psychoanalysis is anyone who thinks he is. Do not evaluate objective truth but the suffering of others," says Sivak. From the Centre Two, Cristina Castillo are adamantly opposed, "In psychoanalysis works with the spoken word. It only matters what is said but how you say. We hear tones, slips, statements, nonsense. It is impossible to sustain a serious treatment through a PC. "

Julio Moreno, Psychoanalytical Association of Buenos Aires, not value, but it raises the hurdle of the body away. "The digital computer sets aside a very complex and extremely rich range of feelings that accompany the contact or proximity of the bodies. For example, when confronted with a patient in the office, even before he uttered words, there is a plethora of sensations that convey valuable information. We have a physical and psychic apparatus as fact as to capture that kind of information that is irreplaceable and indispensable for our practice as analysts, "he says.
