Reviews
This is a pioneering work that gives a balanced, nuanced, and comprehensive picture of how the screen affects therapeutic dialogues and makes a strong advocacy for the necessity of the co-presence of two persons in the consulting room. It is a must-read for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who find technologically mediated treatment necessary in their work with patients. --Sverre Varvin, MD, PhD, past President of the Norwegian Psychoanalytic Society; Chair of International Psychoanalytical Association China Committee; Professor This book is not anti-technology; it is pro-psychoanalysis. Gillian Isaacs Russell comes up with a deeply humanistic, forward-looking book that does not deny the power of technology but insists that we use it to more thoroughly understand our human purposes. As an analyst or therapist, before you use Skype or FaceTime, read this. You'll better understand the new human terrain on which you work. --Sherry Turkle, author of Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet and Director, MIT Initiative on Technology and Self Gillian Isaacs Russell explores vast territory, including patients' and therapists' experiences, clinical theory, and intriguing research in cognitive neuroscience, information communication theory, and virtual reality. Her skillful explication and incisive analysis of how the technological medium affects our patients, ourselves, and the analytic process makes it readily apparent that simulated treatments have limits and consequences, and knowing this enables clinicians to make smart choices about whether and when to conduct such treatment. This very well-written book is essential for anyone who wants to think carefully about computer-mediated treatment. --Don Greif, PhD, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Contemporary Psychoanalysis; Faculty
