Öz

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.
