One Room of Many: Joining Systemically in My Virtual Tiny Office
摘要
This chapter discusses some of the key learnings and recent experiences transferring the skills of systemic family therapy practice to the virtual therapy room developed in the United States. I revisit essential ideas of systemic practice, including joining, utilization, and stability/change, and discuss how to apply them in virtual sessions. I also discuss the use of interpreters in virtual sessions, virtual and hybrid/virtual integrated care, and warm hand-offs, and offer reflections on how virtual work has shifted the lived experience of clients and therapists, and thus, the nature of virtual sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
