There was a time when the answer-phone was thought too alienating for patients; now there is the question of whether therapists feel OK being paid by electronic bank transfer.

Since the start of modern psychotherapy, much new technology has affected communications—the telephone, transport, and written communication have all been speeded up and made universally accessible. But do email, texts and the mobile (cell) phone enhance communication or do they merely offer the fantasy of doing so?

Since the mid-nineteenth century, photographic images have become so prevalent and available that clients can now bring pictures in many forms. They can also bring movies, movie-scenes and characters. How are we to respond to these unconventional communications of our clients' emotional lives? The outward expressions of their inner worlds? Christopher Hauke will talk about these issues with special focus on the place of film themes and images in psychotherapy sessions.
