“…Programs are guided by experienced practitioners, who have acquired formal digital literacy skills to proficiently communicate. Employing screenings, assessments and informed consent, Formal Online ICTs consider the acceptability and fit of each client (employing evidence-informed strategies based on individual needs and goals), and simultaneously strive for accessibility, anonymity and/or confidentiality (Gilbert 2011;Rummell and Joyce 2010). Research has almost exclusively studied Formal Online ICTs, examining effectiveness (Dunn 2012;Gilat and Reshef 2015) and identifying clinical, ethical and legal implications (Amichai-Hamburger et al 2014;Haberstroh et al 2014;Hall and McGraw 2014;Johnson 2014).…”

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) (including mobile devices) are characterized by the integration of technology into communication, and have revolutionized how individuals interact. ICTs have led to transformative changes in social work and other disciplines including education and psychology. Despite becoming increasingly popular in traditional face-to-face social work practice, research is lacking on informal ICT use by practitioners with clients, which typically occurs between sessions, but also within, as an unplanned (and often unsanctioned) adjunct to traditional face-to-face practice (Informal Intersession ICTs). As social work practitioners grapple with the rapid expansion of ICTs, there is a need to address the ethical, legal, systemic and professional benefits and challenges that inevitably arise. Such knowledge is necessary to inform practice and policy. Thus, the purpose of this practice update is to elucidate a framework for theoretical understanding of informal use of ICTs in social work, and draw attention to how ICTs have expanded and altered existing practice.

“…Psychologists practicing telepsychology must be aware that interjurisdictional practice continues to occupy an ethical and legal grey area. There is still no consensus about the regulation of national or international telepsychology practice (Harris & Younggren, 2011;Murphy et al, 2008;Rummell & Joyce, 2010). At minimum, psychologists need to be informed about the laws, regulations, and positions of the licensing boards of their client's jurisdiction (ACPRO, 2011;Shaw & Shaw, 2006) in order to determine whether they are legally entitled to provide telepsychological services across jurisdictions (D. M. Kaplan et al, 2011;Rojubally et al, 2013).…”

As Canadian psychologists increasingly incorporate Internet-based technologies into their practice, they are reminded that telepsychology-the application of technologies for the delivery of distance psychological services-requires special skills, knowledge, and judgment that extend beyond the core requirements of professional practice. However, what constitutes competence in both face-to-face and telepsychology practice is still evolving in Canada. This article explores how the existing framework for Canadian psychologist competence found in the Mutual Recognition Agreement of the Regulatory Bodies for Professional Psychologists in Canada (Council of Provincial Associations of Psychologists, 2001/ 2004), along with current research and other supporting documents in distance mental health, may serve as a useful foundation for the development of uniform telepsychology competency standards across Canada.

“…A major concern often reported by therapists is how to deal with crisis situations online (e.g., when a client expresses suicidal thoughts) [16]. Online modalities allow clients to disconnect at any time, without the therapist knowing whether this is due to technology failure or because the client is in some kind of crisis, and the therapist is not in the same space in order to ensure their safety [17]. Another reason found for therapists' reluctance is the risk of clients misrepresenting themselves, as it is harder to verify an individual's identity online [17,18].…”

“…Therapists also mention more practical concerns such as costs of setting up and maintaining the infrastructure, licensure and jurisdiction constraints, lack of clear ethical guidelines for practice and confidentiality, patient privacy, and the potentially detrimental effects of technology failure [9,14,16,17].…”
