| dc.description.abstract | The article analyzes the development and functioning of online forms of psychological support, which gained particular significance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses various modalities—ranging from video therapy and chat-based counseling to self-help programs and AI-assisted tools. Attention is given to both the potential and the limitations of online therapy, with emphasis on ethical, legal, and technological issues. The analysis integrates a scholarly perspective with the author’s practical experience as a psychologist working online. The findings indicate that psychological support delivered via the Internet constitutes an essential component of the contemporary therapeutic landscape. Despite numerous advantages—such as increased accessibility and anonymity—these forms of support require continued reflection on ethical and legal grounds. Their effectiveness depends on the therapist’s competencies, the quality of the therapeutic relationship, and technological security. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Artykuł analizuje rozwój i funkcjonowanie internetowych form wsparcia psychologicznego, które w sposób szczególny zyskały na znaczeniu w okresie pandemii COVID-19 i po jej zakończeniu. Omówiono ich różnorodne formy – od wideoterapii, przez czaty i programy samopomocowe, po narzędzia oparte na sztucznej inteligencji. Zwrócono uwagę zarówno na potencjał, jak i ograniczenia terapii prowadzonej online, wskazując na kwestie etyczne, prawne i technologiczne. Analiza łączy perspektywę naukową z doświadczeniami praktycznymi autorki jako psycholożki pracującej online. Analiza wskazuje, że wsparcie psychologiczne oferowane przez Internet stanowi ważny element współczesnego krajobrazu terapeutycznego. Pomimo licznych zalet – takich jak większa dostępność i anonimowość – formy te wymagają dalszej refleksji w kontekście etycznym i prawnym. Ich skuteczność zależy od kompetencji terapeuty, jakości relacji oraz bezpieczeństwa technologicznego. | pl |
