Working with Online Analysis:

The online environment provides an extraordinary medium in which to practice psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic supervision, since it is possible for two people to see each other while speaking. Some psychoanalysts have equated psychoanalysis with the use of the couch. However, there are other analysts who have found that eye contact can be essential in fostering the analytic process, and that the lifeblood of psychoanalysis is not in the number of sessions or the use of the couch, but rather in the nature of the psychoanalytic process and the quality of the relationship. Conventional psychoanalysis is practiced without eye contact but with presence; Online psychoanalysis is practiced with eye contact but without presence.
