Telephone Counseling




Unlike traditional counselling, either party may not have nor need guaranteed privacy; the electronic technologies involved make it difficult to prevent multiple phone connections, loudspeakers, or recording of the interactions.

Telephone counselling may be conducted as a pre-treatment, concurrent-treatment, or after-treatment of other interactions. Not all telephone counselling is necessarily for personal therapy; in fact most other uses may be the main or secondary purposes: research, sharing, messages, gossip, friendliness, news or business.

Unlike other forms of counselling, telephone counselling can be free of conflicting events: Geography , Time , duration, costs, WYSIWYG biases on both parties, and in situ, real-time pressures. Because of this electronic and freedom of WYSIWYG biases, Telephone counselling can be more effective than most other forms of counselling. The academic research into telephone counselling, as it is currently practiced around the world, has yet to be done.
