Abstract
The convergence of electronic equipment and telecommunication facilities for
exchange of audio, video, and/or text therapeutic communications has been termed epsychology.
It is used when face-to-face contact with licensed psychologist is
impossible. This paper presents е-psychology consultations and their pros and cons as
foreseen in an ongoing е-health project, aiming to employ remote networking
technology to enable direct communication between experts and patients for virtual
consultations, supervisions, psychological evaluations and continuous monitoring.
Thus the projects will offer high quality psychological service via Internet.
