Abstract

Technology is changing the nature of problems people are having as well as how we treat them. This article discusses how factors associated with use of the Internet may initiate and maintain sexually compulsive behavior online. Ways to make use of web resources in the treatment of online sexual addiction and compulsivity are suggested. Behavioral Telehealth, a possible avenue for conducting psychotherapy using communications technology, is introduced. Ethical, legal, and regulatory issues relevant to using communications technology to practice psychotherapy are reviewed.
