“… Despite the significantly limited availability of services during an epidemic crisis, online resources and treatment via telemedicine are gaining popularity. It has been proven so far that psychological online services are nearly as effective as direct assistance [ 32 , 33 ]. Therefore, it is worth encouraging women to contact professionals - even during a pandemic - when they notice disturbing symptoms.…”

Background This retrospective study aimed to identify possible intensification of mental health difficulties among women seeking support in the postpartum period during the epidemic state in Poland. We assumed that the epidemic crisis, social isolation, and restrictions in hospitals which affect pregnant and postpartum women - lack of family labors, lack of the possibility to be with the newborn when he/she is hospitalized, may increase fear and reduce psychosocial resources of women, hinder their normal process of transition to motherhood and thus contribute to the intensified severity of depressive symptoms. Methods The study participants were women seeking support at the on-line platform of the project ‘Next Stop: Mum’, which is a part of the postpartum depression prevention’s program implemented by the Ministry of Health in Poland, and enables remote self-screening for the severity of the postpartum depression symptoms with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale developed by Cox and collaborators. The analyzed data in this study were obtained from 139 women: 61 filled forms from October 1 - November 10, 2019 (non-epidemic period), and 78 filled forms from February 20–March 30 (beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic), 2020. Results A statistically significant difference in the severity of postpartum depression symptoms were observed among women making a self-assessment with EPDS scale at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland (M = 15.71; SD = 6.23), compared to the pre-epidemic neutral period (M = 13.56; SD = 6.46). Conclusions The results of this study indicate that the epidemic crisis may be associated with an increased need for additional caution and support of women’s mental health in the postpartum period. We believe that recommendations for medical staff, policy, and families of women struggling with postpartum depression symptoms during crisis should be widespread as the second wave of COVID-19 disease may develop in the autumn-winter 2020 and spring 2021.

“…Anecdotal reports, surveys, and a growing number of publications devoted to the subject indicate that more and more often analysts are treating patients through teleanalysis—that is, analysis conducted over the telephone or via online videoconferencing platforms such as Skype or Zoom (Richards 2001). In addition, more candidates are being taught, treated, or supervised via online videoconferencing or the telephone than ever before (Manosevitz 2006; Fishkin et al 2011; Spoto 2011; Scharff 2013a, 2015; Merchant 2016). While many analysts still question the practice of teleanalysis, 1 the rapidly expanding presence of technology in our everyday lives, and our growing reliance on it, suggests that the question for analysts should be how best to practice teleanalysis, not whether to.…”

In certain cases, and under certain conditions, extremely useful analytic work can be done on the phone or through videoconferencing. Contrary to what some critics of teleanalysis maintain, with patients who are motivated and can make use of analysis, physical distance between analyst and patient and/or occasional technological difficulties do not limit or preclude successful analysis. Clinical material from three teleanalyses demonstrates various conditions that help make teleanalysis useful. Instead of being a disadvantage, the juxtaposition of the experience of the “tele” and the in-person settings (in occasional in-person sessions) provides increased and unique opportunities for analysis.

“…Many psychoanalysts propose contributions, based on international collaborations, to study the virtual’s impact on our society and the uses psychoanalysts can make of it ( Laszig and Eichenberg, 2003 ; Migone, 2013 ; Scharff, 2013 ; Eichenberg and Hübner, 2018 ; Thorwart, 2019 ). Further research on the online psychotherapeutic framework leads to heuristic reflections and new projects.…”
