Abstract

The rapid spread of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and the implementation of preventive measures have led to the rapid adaptation and wider application of digital technologies in psychotherapeutic practice. Although there are significant benefits to using online therapy, there are still disputes about the quality, safety, and confidentiality of this way of working. Switching to online mode is, in fact, a change of setting. The aim of this paper is to show the advantage of using technological advances in times of crisis and the impact of setting change on group members and therapists. It also aims to point out the supervision as an important component of the psychotherapeutic process.
