Internet and telephone-based psychological services are expanding rapidly and current psychological systems are struggling with how to deal with and regulate telepsychology. Even psychologists who have no interest in providing electronic services are being confronted by ethical and practical issues having to do with the internet and computer-based technologies.

• How do I secure my electronic communications?
• How do I control access to my private and personal information?
• Can I have a Facebook page? What can I put on it?
• How much of my private, non-professional life is appropriate to reveal to the public?

This workshop will help to answer these questions by providing a review of the status of digital psychology, predictions about its directions in the future, and a review of the potential professional and economic advantages of using telepsychology. The workshop will also provide guidance to psychologists who are using this technology before rules are fully established to help manage risks. Standards and principles connected to telepsychology and online services will be reviewed as will relevant laws (current and in development), relevant court decisions, government policies, jurisdictional issues and licensing board responses.

The workshop meets the Indiana Ethics requirement for psychologists and is co-sponsored by the TRUST.
