Klinik Uygulamalarda Çevrimiçi Terapilerin Gelecek Perspektifi: Avantajlar ve Sınırlılıklar

Abstract

Teknolojik gelişmeler ve covid-19 salgını gibi olaylar çevrimiçi terapilerin hızla yaygınlaşmasını ve ruh sağlığı hizmetlerinin dijital platformlarda kullanılmaya başlanmasını zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu çalışmada çevrimiçi terapilerin klinik uygulamalardaki kuramsal temelleri ele alınarak kavramsal çerçeve oluşturulmuş, terapötik ilişkiler, etik sorunlar, etkililik ve kültürel boyutlar üzerinde durulmuştur. Ayrıca ruh sağlığı alanındaki ve teknolojideki yeni gelişmeler değerlendirilerek avantajlar, dezavantajlar, sınırlılıklar ve çevrimiçi terapilerin geleceğine yönelik bir perspektif sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Dijitalleşme, yapay zekâ kullanımı, çevrimiçi oyunlar, sanal gerçeklik ve mobil uygulamaların klinik uygulamalara entegre edilmesiyle ruh sağlığı hizmetlerinde de büyük bir dönüşümün yaşanacağı vurgulanmıştır.

Abstract

Technological advancements and events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have necessitated the rapid expansion of online therapy and the use of digital platforms for delivering mental health services. In this study, a conceptual framework was established by examining the theoretical foundations of online therapies in clinical practice, with a focus on therapeutic relationships, ethical issues, effectiveness and cultural dimensions. The recent advancements in mental health and technology have also been evaluated, aiming to provide a comprehensive perspective on the advantages, disadvantages, limitations, and the future outlook of online therapies. It was emphasized that a major transformation will occur in mental health services with the integration of digitalization, the use of artificial intelligence, online games, virtual reality and mobile applications into clinical practice.
