The Rock & Roll Shrink Radio Show Episode 47: Virtual Therapy

Tonight’s show is called, “Online & Virtual Therapy.” With the recent proliferation of computer and internet use, and increase in cellphone use in our society, the realm of Psychology and Counseling has likewise adjusted to meet heretofore unmet needs that these technologies make possible. We are talking about Online (by voice or video chat) Counseling, as well as other long-distance therapies. Also, we will briefly discuss the use of Virtual Therapy (not so much online as it is the use of virtual reality in therapy, which has physiological as well as psychological applications.)

We will discuss:

1. A basic overview of what Online and Virtual therapies are, and enumerating various types,
2. A discussion about the pros and cons of each approach, and
3. How Dr. Mathis uses these techniques, and what services he can provide by this means

We will begin the show with some classic rock played by Dr. Mathis, and then some rock trivia stories, followed by tonight's topic.
