“…61 However, there is limited research suggesting the effectiveness of this medium, and the dominant method in this field is still that of face-to-face contact. 62 The reason face-to-face client contact remains popular is that it facilitates a "therapeutic" or "working" alliance, which is central to successful therapy. 63 …”

“…Older studies focused largely on crisis intervention and measures of effectiveness focused on service rather than client outcomes (Hornblow, 1986). Currently, common ways of assessing telephone counselling services are through the use of simulated caller paradigms (e.g., Bryant & Harvey, 2000) or on the basis of client satisfaction with the service offered (e.g., Reese, Conoley, & Brossart, 2002). Existing telephone services are supported by little empirical research, the vast majority of which suffers from a range of methodological problems, as well as a focus on service versus client outcomes.…”

“…L'Internet et les vidéoconférences ont reçu plus d'attention ces dernières années, mais le téléphone demeure la forme d'aide à distance la plus utilisée (Coveney & al., 2012 ;Williams, 2000). Les CEIT sont d'ailleurs considérés comme des ressources essentielles parmi les services d'intervention psychosociale (Miller & al., 1984 ;Reese, Conoley & Brossart, 2002). Leur efficacité est toutefois difficile à mesurer car les contacts établis avec les appelants sont souvent de courte durée et anonymes, le suivi des impacts est donc difficile à évaluer (Leenaars & Lester, 2004 ;Mishara & al.…”

“…Ce sont ces appelants hésitants ou silencieux qui représentent le plus important défi pour les bénévoles débutants qui peuvent alors se demander si l'appelant souffre d'un problème de santé mentale (Haywood, 1981 (Leffert, 2001). Toutefois, l'usage du téléphone semble avantageux en tant qu'instrument complémentaire (Leffert, 2001 ;Reese, Conoley & Brossart, 2002).…”
