“…This may even take place before psychotherapy begins. In professional organizations of psychotherapists and psychiatrists in the USA there has been lively discussion about ethical rules about whether professionals should be allowed to use search engines to find information about their potential clients (Clinton et al ). Clients apparently make extensive use of this option themselves.…”

A growing number of approaches in psychotherapy make use of internet- and other media-based interactions. This paper discusses the impact on the therapist-client relationship of using media technology and gives an overview of the current state of the debate. It is suggested that the technical conditions of internet-based interactions produce new forms of social relationships that differ significantly from face-to-face-interactions and that unconscious, nonverbal cues get lost. Research on the therapeutic interaction making use of 'discourse linguistic' methods is presented. The loss of nonverbal cues has implications for psychotherapy in general and especially for the treatment of patients who have difficulties relying on a secure therapeutic relationship. Emotional security in interactional relationships is transmitted to a much greater extent by nonverbal cues than by verbal content; psychoanalytic methods are specialized to refer to this level of interaction. Two alternative scenarios are discussed based on the psychoanalytic theories of Winnicott and Lacan: the risk of an illusionary, idealized image of the other and the possibility that cyberspace can be used for psychological development as a transitional space.

“…Behavioral health professionals now use a much wider range of digital and electronic options to serve patients who struggle with mental health and behavioral issues, including video technology, email, text (SMS) messages, online chat rooms, avatar software, social media and networking, smartphones, and other forms of technology. Furthermore, many clinicians now use powerful online search engines and “clouds” to access and manage information about patients (Clinton, Silverman, & Brendel, ; Kanani & Regehr, ; LaMendola, ; Menon & Miller‐Cribbs, ; Reamer, , ; Zur, ).…”

Behavioral health professionals are making increased use of cybertechnology to deliver services to patients, communicate with patients, gather information about patients, and communicate with colleagues. The advent of cybertechnology - included the Internet, text (SMS), email, video, cloud storage of electronic records, and other forms of electronic communication and documentation - has introduced novel and unprecedented ethical and risk-management challenges. This article provides an overview of emerging issues related to informed consent; delivery of services; privacy, confidentiality, and privileged communication; boundary issues and dual relationships; documentation; and practitioners' relationships with colleagues. The author highlights new standards of care that are being incorporated into licensing statutes and regulations; professional codes of ethics; and practice guidelines adopted by the professions of psychiatry, psychology, mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, and clinical social work.

At some point, most nurses have, or will post on Social media sites. Social media includes, but is not limited to Facebook, Snap Chat, You Tube and Twitter and allows instant communication, often without in-depth thought of professional consequences. The casualness and easy access to these forms of communication increase the likelihood that a nurse may innocently disclose information that could have a negative impact on his/her professional role.
