“…정신질환에 대한 이해가 부족하여 문제가 저절로 좋아지거나 전문적인 도움이 없이 스스로 해 결할 수 있다는 태도도 정신의료서비스의 이용을 저해하는 요소로 볼 수 있다 (Cho, 2011). 또한 심리적인 문제를 가지 고 있는 개인이 자신에게 맞는 치료자를 찾는 것에 대한 정 보가 부족하고 치료비용에 대한 심리적인 부담도 높게 인식 하는 것으로 조사되었다 (Lee et al, 2015).…”

Recent national survey data suggest that lifetime prevalence of mental disorders are on the rise in South Korea while utilization of mental health services remains low. These results are disconcerting, and it is critical to find ways to increase access to mental health services and service utilization. One emerging solution is to provide psychological intervention via the Internet, and wide use of computer and mobile devices makes video-counseling a low-cost alternative to traditional face-to-face psychotherapy. In the current study, a total of 190 adults completed a questionnaire assessing the history of mental illness, experience with psychotherapy, and attitudes towards video-counseling, mainly focusing on treatment needs, future service utilization, effectiveness, and cost. Results suggest that participants endorsed the pros more strongly than the cons of video-counseling. Specifically, participants reported accessibility, privacy, and convenience as major strengths, and provider credentials and reduced confidentiality as major weaknesses. Limitations of the current study and recommendations for implementing online counseling service are further discussed.
