Abstract
Technological resources are everyday tools in the actual world, especially for the children and youth. Psychotherapy tended to leave apart the use of these resources. A committee of experts predicted that the evolution of psychotherapy would aim to incorporate them in a near future. Preliminary data obtained in a survey made to psychologists of the Buenos Aires city and suburbs founded that although a high percentage of them consider these resources to be useful in the development of the therapeutic alliance and technical optimization, at the same time, they have poor knowledge and are infrequently used. The purpose of this article is to revise attitude and believes respect to the utilization of such resources in the clinical practice.
