Online Therapy Isn’t Shrinking
Online therapy is dangerous, critics say. Quacks could set up shop and cheat customers. Discontents who are looking for a quick fix could score drugs with a simple mouseclick. The entire mental health industry may degenerate into a mess.
At a Capitol Hill news conference last week, a coalition of medical practitioners and patient advocates released a set of guidelines to keep that from happening before the government gets a chance to step in and do it for them. But critics say those standards might not be enough, and warn that mixing professional counseling with the Internet is a potentially risky situation that the government is not likely to ignore.
The guidelines—the eHealth Code of Ethics—aren’t revolutionary. They’re voluntary rules drawn up by the Internet Healthcare Coalition that ask the players in this field (and in the electronic health field in general) to stay the course and follow a set of standards that some sites say they were already following.
Gunny Cho, CEO of the online therapy site Here2listen, com, said his company was already adhering to the guidelines suggested in the new code. "We were taking the highest of the high moral ground," he said. Cho said most of the people who use Stanford University backed Here2listen’s fee-based, real-time chat service are looking for help with personal relationships and life’s stresses . None of them will be hooked up with drugs, he said, because Here2listen’s shrinks are there to listen, not prescribe.
Psychology-ethics expert Thomas Nagy is guarded about how his field is embracing the Internet as a clinical medium. The assistant clinical professor at Stanford Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, who maintains a private practice as a psychologist in Palo Alto, says online therapy is filled with risks. "There’s no training or research in Internet therapy, and there’s no definition of what it is," he said. He said face-terrace counseling, or at least telephonic therapy, is always superior to online therapy. " With words on a screen you have such a narrow bandwidth of emotional overtones," he said. " I would always argue for telephone consultation instead of email therapy. I think there’s so much more information available, you can at least tell something about (a patient’s) emotional tone."
Glenn Marron, a psychologist who maintains a private practice in New York and once served as consultant to the government, agreed that the industry is moving quicker than it should. "I think there’s no question that ultimately this indeed is going to be one of the main formats for mental health," she said. "The technology is far more advanced than the infrastructure and guidelines we have."
Thomas Nagy prefers face-to-face therapy because______.
选项
A、clinical doctors are more passionate for patient care
B、signs of patients are invisible to a therapist via email
C、it is a better way to address mental health problems
D、it avoids the constraints of online diagnosis and treatment
答案
B
解析
本题考查观点细节。根据Thomas Nagy定位到第五段。该段第四句到段末都在阐述他对在线治疗和面对面治疗的观点。他指出,“面对面的咨询,或至少是电话治疗,总是比在线治疗要高级。电子邮件传递病人情感信息极其有限。”言外之意是,面对面咨询可以同时运用视觉和听觉手段直接了解患者病情。[B]与原文意思相符合,为正确答案。[A]原文未提到。[C]是题干的同义复现,并不是原因,排除。[D]太泛,文中只提到了在线治疗的一个方面的缺陷,即看不见病人的症状。
