Tech nological resources: Their use in clinical work with children and adolescents
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 Argentinean psychologists founded that a high percentage of them consider these resources to be useful in the development of the therapeutic alliance and technical optimization, but, at the same time, they are infrequently used. The purpose of this article is to revise the actual scientific literature that refers to the possible use of technological resources in the clinic with children and adolescents.
