This is good article by Michael Fenichel, Ph.D.

Many counselors and psychotherapists, including those who meet with clients online, rely on close analysis of interpersonal dynamics between therapist and client, using the ‘here and now’ of that particular session. Surely this now happens, not only through the use of chat rooms replete with emoticons, but also through the familiar e-mail letter exchange, which (particularly with groups) may become part of a continuing subject ‘thread’ focused on specific issues. Many deeply meaningful and powerful relationships can be formed and/or maintained via the written letter. It may be ‘asynchronous’ communication, but it still is experienced as ‘here’.

A list of References but unfortunatly not with hyperlinkds to online items. There is an NZ one:

Christensen, H., & Griffiths, K. (2000). The Internet and mental health literacy. Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 34, 975-979.

and a recent one book that sounds good:

Colon, Y., & Friedman, B. (2003). Conducting group therapy online. In S. Goss & K. Anthony (Eds.), Technology in counselling and psychotherapy: A practitioner’s guide (pp. 59-74). Houndmills, UK: Palgrave Macmillan. amazon

Here is another useful list of references: The Psychology Of The Internet: Recommended Books

The C.G. Jung Page: Technology Page devoted to original attempts to understand the psychology behind technology and the impact of technology on our psychology. The page is edited by Dolores Brien. Jungian psychology and related subjects, etc.

I am interested in everything on this page. I have linked to many of these items in this weblog in the past. This has to be my cyber-mecca.

NZOOM – Entertainment – Books

This is what the cover looks like in NZ – nice! I am loving the book. I literally chose this book by the cover, I thought I’d brouse the SF section at Scorpio and see if there were any with nice covers. Usually SF books have the worst covers of all genre. Of course I was also swayed by the authors’s name, even though I have not liked all of his previous books. He coined the word cyberspace perhaps he will pull out another lightening bolt.
