Telepsicología: perspectivas clínicas en tiempos de pandemia.

Abstract

The health emergency generated by the covid-19 pandemic brought with it various changes and challenges worldwide. From the field of psychology, the need arose to adapt, continue and initiate professional attention through virtual modalities (known as telepsychology or remote attention) considering biosecurity measures and effective response to the variety of demands in mental health. Therefore, the current research aimed to describe telepsychology in the clinical area through qualitative methodology with phenomenological design explaining the operation of remote attentions during the pandemic. Regarding the results, condensing the importance of the clinical psychological care processes in the therapeutic alliance, it is concluded that virtuality did not generate alterations for its construction and, on the contrary, the professionals adapted in digital environments and through ethical performance they favored the realization of consultations through telepsychology in the North Santander region considering some limitations generated mainly by virtuality.
