Summary: | The treatment program of CAPA, initiated in 2006, has provided low cost, effective psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, over the Internet, to several hundred CAPA trainees. English-speaking analysts and therapists are recruited from all over the world. They also participate in the teaching and supervisory programs. Cultural differences, which can be challenging, frequently must be considered during treatment, but have not proven to be insurmountable. The value of this endeavor is immeasurable, as resources for treatment are still quite limited in China. Time zones limit the available hours for treatment, but our students are highly motivated to accept very early or very late appointments. CAPA treaters have been extremely generous with respect to their acceptance of very low fees. This program has been quite successful, and can be a model for Internet treatment. |
