ABSTRACT

Mental health professionals see that innovation through technology is inevitable and can greatly enhance the delivery of mental health care, as well as general health care. With the new wave of technologies being developed for health care, practitioners have many choices to make. Trainees need to know the basics of using a computer and how to use the Internet. They particularly need to know how to use new mental health care tools, adapt existing tools, and avoid problems with procedures and assessment tools used offline. The psychotechnologies offer many new opportunities to those practitioners who use them wisely.
